Dr. Hailey Kanester, Naturopathic Doctor | Kelowna, BC

Awesome human being.
With the amazing experience and knowledge.

I went in to see Dr. Hailey out of desperation. I was 10months post partum and had been experiencing severe anxiety and depression. I was on sleeping pills, and anti-depressants for months before seeing Dr. Hailey, with no hope of things getting better. Immediately on seeing her, she put me at ease, and gave me hope that things could and will get better. Though, I honestly found it hard to believe I could actually get better, it was somewhere to start. Seeing Dr. Hailey, getting IV vitamin injections, acupuncure, along with neurofeedback and EMDR counselling, I did an intensive 2 and a half weeks of treatment in Kelowna, I left Kelowna feeling compeletely overwhelemed, and headed home. After only one month, I began to notice a significant shift in my mood. I had moments where I felt my "normal" self again, and those moments grew into hours, which grew into days, which grew into months. I can't even express how incredibly grateful I am for Dr. Hailey! I dont even want to think about where I could still be if I hadn't gone to see her. I have been back to my "normal" self mostly now for 3 months, and feeling so much better. Thank you, Dr. Hailey for your help, your sensitivity to me, and your'e incredibly peaceful countenance. You are a gem!

I have struggled with my well-being for years. As a survivor of domestic violence, I found it hard to find primary care givers and medical professionals who treated me with humanity and empathy. This problem was compounded by the ineffectiveness of conventional talk therapies and medication. I felt isolated and resigned to a low quality of life.

I am so grateful I found Dr. Hailey. She is intelligent, bright and full of empathy. Her medical practice has positively changed my life and helped me to deal with and begin healing the traumas that have lived in my body for so long.

Dr. Hailey is encouraging and pragmatic and offers nutitional support with affordable supplements that have been more effective in helping me than any medication I have previously taken.

Coming to see Dr. Hailey has been an important part of placing self-care as a keystone in my life. I feel like Dr. Hailey is full of kindness; which is so often lacking in medical professionals. Her kindness helps me to continue to place my self-care as central to my daily life.

Dr. Hailey also changes acupuncture treatments to address my mental and spiritual well-being which acts as a positive feedback loop leading to decreased physical pain in my body.

I highly recommend Dr. Hailey, especially for women trying to recover from trauma. I am grateful to have found a doctor who treats me with empathetic care and professional expertise.

From the first appointment with Dr. Hailey and her assurance and enthusiasm, I knew I was in good hands. We did a thorough intake and after years of trying ‘everything in the book’ and feeling defeated, I left excited and motivated to try the supplements she prescribed right off the bat. Dr. Hailey created priorities of treatment, which for me meant getting me some sleep and reprieve from anxiety. We completed a functional blood analysis which confirmed what she had suspected was going on. I followed up with my first IV treatment with her yesterday, of which I almost fell asleep during because the space and atmosphere is so relaxing. What happened next is beyond amazing! For the first time in YEARS I didn’t “TRY” to go to sleep, I simply began to feel tired, completed my evening routine, got into bed and had the most magical, blissful and nourishing sleep. I woke up energetic and happy, wondering if this is how the majority of people feel after a full nights sleep. It’s mid-day, and my mood has remained stable and I still have enough energy to keep me focused and productive through the rest of the afternoon without relying on heavy amounts of caffeine. I can’t wait to see what multiple evenings of true rest will do for my mind and body. I’m looking forward to my healing journey with Dr. Hailey and highly recommend anyone go see her to elevate your life.

I also don’t think I have yawned once today… compared to a week ago where every minute or so I was trying to hide a yawn.

Dr. Hailey completely changed my life - and I'm not over exaggerating.
I went in to see Dr. Hailey in 2012 after struggling with disordered eating, depression, low energy and digestive issues. With her help, I was able to turn my health around and become the happiest and healthiest version of myself. All of the supplements she recommended made me feel amazing, and she helped me heal my relationship to food. I also felt very safe to talk to her about what was going on in my life. The emotional support that she provided me was of incredible value, and I think it is something that (in my experience) a lot of medical doctors lack. I felt truly cared for by Dr. Hailey. In my opinion, she strikes a perfect balance between a highly intelligent doctor and a loving confidant.
Dr. Hailey had such an impact on me that after seeing her, I started my own career in holistic health!
