Meet Dr. Kailee Carlson, L.Ac, RN

Headshot of Kailee smiling

Welcome! I’m Kailee, a Licensed Acupuncturist, Registered Nurse, and Doctor of Chinese Medicine with a focus on Sports Medicine. My passion lies in merging Eastern and Western medicine to create the best possible outcomes for my patients.

​

During my time as an RN in hospitals, I saw firsthand the gaps in preventative healthcare. This experience fueled my dedication to shifting the focus from "sick" care to true "health" care. I believe in empowering my patients with knowledge and tools to take control of their health through food therapy, movement, herbal medicine, breathwork, and practical lifestyle changes that can have a profound impact on daily life.

​

As an ultramarathoner and endurance athlete, I’ve personally experienced the transformative power of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. This drives my passion for treating a wide range of conditions, including mental health, musculoskeletal injuries, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and more.

​

A few things about me:

​

  • I’m a dedicated endurance athlete.

  • Live music is one of my greatest loves.

  • I’ve lived in Minnesota, Hawaii, and Washington.

  • I’m an avid traveler—50 states, 9 countries, and counting!

  • Coffee shops and exploring new restaurants bring me joy.

  • Long walks are my favorite way to unwind.

​

I’m so glad you’re here, and I look forward to supporting you on your health journey!
