(and some photos from Hadley’s adventures…)
Here is an article that was published about a patient’s experience with Zenkai Acupuncture:
Hadley is the kind of person that makes you feel instantly comfortable and safe, especially if you might be a little bit hesitant about acupuncture. She is more thorough about my health than any doctor has ever been. She took a great deal of time getting to know me, my body, my expectations, and needs, and she always creates a service tailored to my issues. I have seen her for several years including while trying to get pregnant, while pregnant, and while trying to move the birth process forward when I was two weeks past my due date! She helped immensely with each visit. I can't say enough about her knowledgeable skills and her sweet, grounded, and warm demeanor. This is one of the best investments I've made in my self care!

Hadley is simply amazing! I went to her for severe and chronic exhaustion and migraines, and I can't tell you what a difference working with her for a few months has made. My energy level is MUCH better, and my migraines are almost nonexistent. Her office is lovely - very calming and centering - and Hadley herself is incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and super-professional. If you've never tried acupuncture, I think Hadley would be perfect for first-timers, and seasoned devotees would find her extremely skilled.

I have been visiting Zenkai Acupuncture for a handful of months now. I have never tried acupuncture before and was a little hesitant at first. I met Hadley and she seriously changed my life! Each session she takes the time to go over all the problems and concerns I have as well as things I want to work on. From depression and anxiety to indigestion to crazy hot flashes, she's got me covered. She tells me what she's doing and makes it such a relaxing experience. The hour long session is a little break from reality. I can lay there listening to soothing and calming music and fully allow myself to relax. I would recommend Zenkai and Hadley in a heart beat!

Hadley's acupuncture treatments are the best and most effective that I've ever experienced. I always feel that I'm in a safe, warm, comfortable environment, and that my best interests and perfect health and balance are foremost in her mind. Her expertise, as well as the incorporation of amazing QiGong always leaves me feeling relaxed yet energized and that actual healing is taking place. As a professional bodyworker, I need to have the most effective treatments that I can find, & I have found that at Zenkai.

I was a skeptic but a long time neck and shoulder pain sufferer following an accident. Cortisone, chiropractic and massage therapy masked symptoms but nothing kept the pain away for long. I tried acupuncture when an equally skeptic friend was amazed at his results with Hadley. It has significantly reduced my migraines, and increased my energy. My shoulder pain stayed away for longer that any previous method employed. What I have also noticed is the reduction of other symptoms that I had not considered treatment for, like PMS and low energy. Hadley is extremely attentive and comforting through the whole process and she is a strong listener. The experience has been completely amazing and I highly recommend her practice.

I have had a lot of acupuncture, and the session I had with Hadley was as good as it gets. I had a persistent trapezius spasm. One treatment from her, and the spasm is gone for good.

Wow. I had reservations about the effectiveness of Acupuncture before my visit with Zenkai, but now I know it really works, as both my husband and I have used Hadley's services for several different issues. In particular, her work on me during my pregnancy was invaluable. I had severe back pain and sciatica late in my pregnancy, and my weekly visits really helped control my pain. The most important appointments I had, however, were the few days I went to Hadley before my labor. I was late, and my OB's were threatening to induce my labor with a cervical ripener and pitocin, which I was hoping to avoid. I was anxious and "HUGELY" uncomfortable, and Hadley was extremely gentle and receptive to my needs and concerns. I had 4 treatments in a row (over 4 days), and on the night of that last day, into labor I went- without meds! I was so grateful for Hadley's work! She has a very gentle and patient manner, and I felt extremely comfortable with her work. 5 stars.

I've been receiving acupuncture for over fifteen years for various sports related injuries as well as for general wellness and relaxation. Additionally, I have been struggling with chronic shoulder pain for several years. As a result, I've come to expect a high standard for effective, quality treatments. As a recent transplant to Portland, admittedly I was nervous about finding a practitioner that met my needs. I was very impressed by Hadley's knowledge and professionalism. From the initial intake phase where she assessed my medical history and health to the actual treatment, Hadley was extremely thorough, and courteous. The treatment room itself at Zenkai was very comfortable and calming which made for an overall excellent experience. Needless to say, Hadley and Zenkai have become my go to solution in Portland for my acupuncture needs.

Hadley runs a fantastic practice for many reasons - her space is peaceful and clean, her manner open, inquisitive and caring, and her depth of knowledge evident by the healing she generates. I've seen her for critical back pain, pregnancy blues/sleep problems, and sinus headaches, and she has helped in every case. The treatments are deepening and a create sense of flow and peacefulness that is sort of akin to good meditation. I also love the heat lamp she puts on my feet. I feel very blissed out when I'm there! Maybe it's a combination of her energy work that she sometimes adds to her practice that makes her so unique, but a visit with Dr. Clark always brings about a better physical, spiritual and emotional sense of well-being.

“Hadley is an amazing healer. She uses a professional, gentle and intuitive approach to her healing methods. I have used acupuncture for several years to address my health needs varying from pregnancy, adrenal fatigue to chronic muscular pain/issues. After a treatment with Hadley I feel rejuvenated, at ease, and I have relief from symptoms. I value Hadley's thoughtful and skillful approach to Chinese medicine. I always feel comfortable asking questions about the treatment and her approach to healing. One of the reasons Hadley is my acupuncturist of choice is her amazing ability to use energy work with traditional acupuncture. I find this combination of treatment supports me both physically and emotionally. I often refer her to friends and family seeking relief from both acute and chronic health issues. Hadley's hands are made for healing.”

Complete bliss... transcendental. More comprehensive than any acupuncture treatment I've ever received. Hadley is warm and thoughtful and incredibly caring. I loved the way she explained the process and answered my questions. You must go visit her and experience this for yourself.
