Alexa Hulsey, L.Ac.

she/her/hers
Founder & Acupuncturist

Alexa has always wanted to change the world. It’s no wonder her 8th grade class voted her “most likely to succeed.”

Alexa hasn’t let her childhood classmates down. In 2010, she started this practice as a community acupuncture clinic in an effort to make healthcare more accessible and affordable. As a result, Encircle Acupuncture has treated thousands of patients across Middle Tennessee and is now one of the largest and most successful community acupuncture clinics in the country.

Alexa’s love for her practice, patients and staff is one of the biggest reasons Encircle has been so successful.

“The people of Encircle are truly the best: our patients trust us to take care of them and are so dedicated to improving their health, and my coworkers inspire me with their kindness, compassion, and diligence.”

Prior to opening Encircle Acupuncture, Alexa spent several years as a private room acupuncturist. She also worked at her alma mater, Yo San University, as the Assistant Academic Dean and a faculty member. Alexa was named one of Nashville Business Journal’s 2020 Women of Influence, in the Trailblazer category. 

In her spare time, Alexa enjoys reading, doing ballet, porch-sitting, and hanging out with her husband and dog.
