Welcome to Island Acupuncture PNW

Hi, I’m Dr. Hedrick. I am a patient-centered, compassionate caregiver with a passion for physical healing in conjunction with mental, emotional and spiritual transformation. Using precise, time-tested techniques, acupuncture encourages healthy circulation, eases tension, and calms the nervous system — helping you feel steady, resilient and a sense of wellness in daily life.

As a seasoned practitioner with over 25 years of clinical experience specializing in pain management and fertility, I provide thoughtful, individualized care designed to support your body’s natural ability to regulate, restore, and renew.

My knowledge of nutrition, supplements and herbs as well as self-care practices to help my patients find their way back into balance and radiant health. 

I look forward to supporting you on your journey to optimum wellness.
