Thrive Chiropractic & Wellness Centre
Dr. Paige Brown – Acupuncturist
Dr. Paige graduated from Pacific Rim College in Victoria, BC and has been practicing Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine since 2014. She was introduced to this amazing medicine when she was just a teenager, which helped immensely on her own healing journey and inspired her to do the same for others.
Dr. Paige’s experience and training has led to a focus on supporting women. She has completed extensive studies in Women’s Health and Fertility, and continues to expand her knowledge to help women in all aspects of life including childbirth, pre/post natal, menopause, and everything in between. With nearly a decade of work experience in this field, Dr. Paige has seen the amazing benefits of Acupuncture with countless patients.
In addition, Traditional Chinese Medicine has a strong focus on prevention and maintenance of good health. More than just treating disease, Dr. Paige emphasizes being proactive over reactive, and promoting preventative health and wellness in a holistic manner to offer complete care of body, mind, and spirit. She is very committed to helping people feel their absolute best and takes great pride in assisting her patients on their healing journey with kindness, compassion, and respect.
Dr. Paige has also completed her Mei Zen Facial Cosmetic Acupuncture and looks forward to providing her patients with a holistic, whole body approach to esthetics.
Dr. Tripat Sahi – Acupuncturist
Dr. Tripat is a registered acupuncturist, trained at Grant MacEwan University, with a rare blend of Western medical training (medical graduate, not a licensed physician) and Traditional Chinese Medicine. This unique background allows her to bridge the precision of science with the holistic wisdom of acupuncture. Her own healing journey showed her that true health is more than treating symptoms, it’s about restoring balance, resilience, and joy.
Her focus includes chronic pain, women’s reproductive health, and mental-emotional wellness such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout. She is especially passionate about helping those who feel they’ve “tried everything else.” At the same time, she sees acupuncture as powerful preventative medicine — supporting long-term wellness, stress relief, and vitality before issues become overwhelming. Patients often share that she is the first practitioner who truly listens and connects the dots, helping them feel both understood and empowered.
Her treatments go beyond quick fixes. By addressing root causes, she helps patients step into a fuller, more vibrant life. Compassion, attunement, and empowerment are at the heart of her care, making each session a space to heal body, mind, and spirit. If you’re looking for care that blends science with soul, Dr. Tripat is here to guide you.
Dr. Natalie Jensen – Acupuncturist
With over 21 years dedicated to helping people heal, Natalie Jensen combines extensive clinical experience with a compassionate, whole-person approach to wellness.
As a Doctor of Acupuncture, she integrates acupuncture with holistic healing modalities including Microneedling, Sound Healing, HypnoPuncture®, Energy Clearings, Quantum Healing, and the NADA Protocol to support healing on every level—mind, body, emotions, and spirit.
Natalie’s journey into acupuncture began long before earning her Doctor of Acupuncture designation. She practiced as a Registered Massage Therapist for 17 years, gaining invaluable experience treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, chronic pain, injuries, and stress-related disorders. Those years gave her a deep understanding of the body’s structure, movement, and patterns of dysfunction, while allowing her to witness firsthand the limitations of treating physical symptoms alone. This inspired her to pursue Traditional Chinese Medicine, enabling her to help patients address the deeper root causes of illness and restore balance from within.
Through decades of clinical practice, Natalie has come to understand that the body is beautifully interconnected. Physical pain often reflects emotional experiences, mental stress, unresolved trauma, or spiritual disconnection. Her philosophy recognizes that true healing occurs when all aspects of a person are acknowledged and supported. By combining evidence-informed Traditional Chinese Medicine with intuitive healing practices and nervous system regulation, she creates personalized treatments that encourage lasting transformation rather than temporary symptom relief.
Natalie also works with individuals recovering from substance use disorders at Wah Pow Treatment Centre in Lac La Biche, where she provides the NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) ear acupuncture protocol.
This specialized treatment is designed to calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, lessen cravings, improve emotional regulation, and support recovery throughout the healing process. Beyond its physical benefits, Natalie has witnessed how the NADA protocol can help individuals reconnect with themselves, cultivate self-forgiveness, and begin opening their hearts to healing and compassion for both themselves and others.
Patients often describe Natalie has warm, intuitive, and deeply present. She creates a safe, supportive environment where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered to participate in their own healing journey. Whether addressing chronic pain, stress, trauma, emotional wellbeing, hormonal health, or personal transformation, Natalie is committed to helping each person reconnect with their innate capacity to heal and thrive.
Outside of her practice, Natalie embraces an active lifestyle and finds her greatest joy in nature. During the winter, you’ll often find her skiing in the mountains, while summer is spent waterskiing and enjoying Alberta’s beautiful lakes. Above all, she treasures quality time with her 11-year-old son, creating lasting memories through outdoor adventures and shared experiences. Whether on the ski hill, on the water, or simply surrounded by nature, Natalie believes that spending time outdoors is one of life’s greatest sources of balance, healing, and happiness—a philosophy that naturally extends into the care she provides her patients.
