About
Lacey Park
Hi, I’m Lacey — student acupuncturist, off grid homesteader, mother, grandmother, woman.
Atlantic Women’s Wellness began as a place to chronicle my journey through Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine school but it’s becoming something much deeper. A living record of what I’m learning, a gathering place for women who want real connection, and a home for services rooted in respect, ancient wisdom, and the everyday realities of rural life.
I’ve spent most of my life working closely with the body, long before I ever stepped into a TCM classroom. Supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the quieter, often unseen transitions that shape us. Being present for the physical, emotional, and cyclical nature of it all.
Over time, I started to notice patterns. The way stress shows up in the body. How depletion lingers. How symptoms shift but the underlying imbalance stays the same. And eventually, how acupuncture and Chinese medicine approach those patterns in a completely different way, not chasing symptoms, but understanding what’s underneath them.
That changed things for me.
This path into acupuncture didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from years of observing, questioning, and then finally finding a system that could hold all of it, the physical, the emotional, the visible, and the subtle.
Now, in clinical training, I’m learning how to apply that framework with precision. How to assess through tongue and pulse, how to track patterns over time, how to support the body in a way that actually creates change rather than temporary relief.
This site is where I share that process as it unfolds.
Right now, I’m treating patients in Bedford as part of my supervised clinical training, offering acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, and bodywork while continuing to deepen my understanding of this medicine.
In Fall 2026, I’ll be returning to Carleton County to begin practicing independently, with plans to build toward a permanent clinic space in the Hartland area.
Everything I’m learning now is what that future work will be built on.
If you’re here, you’re likely curious about acupuncture, your health, or a different way of understanding the body.
You’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Lacey — acupuncturist in training, homesteader, mother, grandmother.
Atlantic Women’s Wellness began as a place to document my journey through Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine school, and that’s exactly what it’s become. A living record of what I’m learning, what I’m seeing in clinic, and how this medicine starts to make sense when it’s applied to real people in real life.

The Life We Don’t Need a Vacation From
People think off-grid life is about escaping modern life. But most weekends at our homestead in South Knowlesville look surprisingly ordinary: hauling coolers, pumping water, lighting fires, borrowing freezer space from neighbours, muddy dogs on the porch, and kids learning real responsibility. Somewhere between the woodstove, peepers, blackflies, and community potlucks, life slows down enough to remember what actually matters.
