I am a down-to-earth (but still-above-the-ground) acupuncturist with a good sense of humor, hair color that's always changing, and a deep interest in my patients' lives. Clients like my personality, which puts them at ease, my gentle needling style, and the fact that I listen and am genuinely interested in what they have to say. My goal in my practice is to have good relationships with my clients and to see them healthy, strong, and enjoying life.

I am deeply passionate about acupuncture and its incredible ability to promote healing and transformation in all bodies. Acupuncture is an ancient medicine which views the body as a unified whole and encourages health through balance and regulation of body-wide systems. It is an excellent therapy for the treatment of pain, injuries, digestive issues, fertility and gynecological concerns, headaches, psycho-emotional imbalances, sleep disorders, and so much more. Not to mention it offers you a rare opportunity to relax and recharge free from distraction.

My areas of specialty are obesity, pre-diabetes and diabetes. I can also assist in teaching the keto or ketogenic diet. My focus within my Master's in Nutrition was on a core specialty on obesity, and within that I specialized in diabetes. Let me help you to lose weight without hunger or special foods (just real foods!), and really enjoying your food. Also able to help with healthy diets for pregnancy, postpartum and breastfeeding (I am a former midwife). I am a former diabetic, now in remission. My training has taught me that remission is possible for many people with Type 2 diabetes.

I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and trained Functional Dietitian focusing on holistic approaches to healing chronic and complex diseases. My areas of focus include women’s nutrition (PCOS, endometriosis, menopause, amenorrhea and other menstrual disorders), digestive disorders and diseases (IBS, SIBO, Celiac, Crohn’s, Colitis, and dysbiosis), metabolic conditions (blood sugar dysregulation and high cholesterol) and autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. I specialize in fertility nutrition for those trying to conceive, including general support and those going through Assisted Reproductive Technology.

I support clients who struggle with endometriosis, unexplained digestive issues, painful periods, and weight changes. I also work alongside clients who are starting a fertility journey, are already pregnant, or are post-partum and looking for nutrition support through this life stage. Through non-restrictive lifestyle changes, we can work together to find foods that are tolerated, nourish your body, reduce inflammation, and improve your relationship with food and body.

How would you like a 50% reduction in chronic inflammatory symptoms in just 2 weeks? No medications... just straightforward diet changes. Our clients typically experience at least that from symptoms of IBS, migraines, chronic fatigue, brain fog, arthritis, eczema and more with continued improvement over time as the immune system continues to calm down and healing happens.

In a world where we have unlimited access to overwhelming and confusing information about health, it can be challenging to know where to start. The foods we enjoy, our relationships with them, and how our bodies respond are so individualized that our approach has to be too!

I am passionate about nutrition and love helping people to understand its complexities without feeling overwhelmed or frustrated. I believe that food is a beautiful part of life and should be enjoyed!

Our bodies are our first homes. And yet, the struggle to belong in our skin and bones is widespread. From an early age, we are taught to mistrust our bodies; tune out its sensations and longings. We exile the parts of us that society deems unsavory to the point where the pain, grief, and loneliness of not belonging feel like our only option. You are here because you know you deserve to belong in your body. I am here to witness your journey toward building a loving and embodied relationship with yourself and the world around you.

Feel like your food and body struggles are taking over? Are you eating in secret, hiding food, or covering up how much or how little you've eaten? Obsessing over your weight and/or body shape? If so, and you're here reading this, it sounds like you realize that something needs to change. I've helped hundreds of people out of these struggles, and am confident I can help get you on the road to recovery too.

Magdalynn Hays — Maddie for short — enjoys helping her clients prioritize their health by using a “food as medicine” approach. As a practitioner, Maddie’s goal is to create a custom plan for her clients that is science-based, true to the client’s needs, and, most importantly, fits into their lifestyle. Maddie developed a profound interest in nutrition and exercise (and the intersection between the two) during her undergraduate education at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. Although she was a competitive athlete for most of her childhood and early teens, healthcare and science did not initially appeal to her as a career.
