Dr. Melody Sorensen is a Doctor of Acupuncture registered with the College of Acupuncturists of Alberta, with a background in holistic nutrition and a passion for helping people improve their health and overall well-being through a holistic approach to care.

She graduated from MacEwan University’s Acupuncture Diploma program in 2026 and also holds a diploma in Holistic Nutrition from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. Her education has given her an appreciation for the connection between the body’s systems and the importance of treating each person as a whole rather than focusing solely on their symptoms.

Melody has a particular interest in women’s health, hormonal balance and digestive health. Her own journey with PMOS (formerly PCOS) has allowed her to experience firsthand how Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture can be a valuable part of supporting overall health and well-being. This personal experience has deepened her passion for helping other women who may be navigating similar challenges and inspired her to continue learning about holistic approaches to hormonal health.

Her first visits are deliberately thorough. She asks a lot of questions about the main complaint and the wider symptom picture before settling on a pattern, choosing points and deciding which supporting modalities to use. Diet is part of that conversation rather than an afterthought. She tracks progress against measurable markers so that gradual change stays visible, and she explains the reasoning behind a recommendation rather than simply handing it over, because what someone does between visits matters as much as what happens on the table.

Melody strives to create a welcoming, comfortable and non-judgmental environment where patients feel heard, supported and empowered throughout their health journey. She believes everyone’s experience is unique, and is focused on helping patients feel their best through individualized, compassionate care.

She chose Red Leaf Wellness for its multidisciplinary setting and the chance to build shared plans of care alongside the naturopathic doctors, nurse practitioners and other practitioners on the team.

Melody provides care at Red Leaf Wellness as an independent contractor.
