Meet The Team
Dr. Jayelle Haavaldsen, BSc, ND
Dr. Haavaldsen is a huge science nerd with a profound and deep respect for nature and its healing capabilities. Her goal is to help you realize what your body can do when given the right tools and environment.
Dr. Haavaldsen welcomes patients of all ages in all bodies. She has a special interest in hormonal health, fatigue, and emotional wellness. She also loves supporting athletes with their goals. She sees that health is not just a result of behaviors but also feeling connected and purposeful in your life. Her mission is to create a space for you to feel heard, help you understand what is going on in your health and create a plan to feel your best.
Growing up in the Edmonton area, the Rocky Mountains were like her second home. Dr. Haavaldsen moved to Hinton officially in January 2022 and hasn’t looked back. She loves being a part of this peaceful community and exploring the outdoors with her husband and young daughter.
She founded The Meadow Clinic in January 2025 and when she isn’t with patients, she is hustling behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly!
Dr. Dawson Sultana, BSc, ND
Dr. Sultana has a background in Environmental Sciences and came to naturopathic medicine because of his strong belief in the interconnection between the mind, body, spirit and nature. He hopes to guide and empower those who seek to become the best version of themselves.
Clinically, he is particularly passionate about men’s health and aging, brain, mood and sleep issues, pain and inflammation (and much more!).
Outside of the clinic he loves the outdoors (especially in the fall), being active and expressing himself through art and music.
Jessica Howard, BA, BSW, MACP, RSW
Jessica is a Certified Canadian Counsellor and a Registered Social Worker serving the Hinton area. She brings over a decade of frontline experience, where she supported children, youth, and families facing a wide range of challenges. Jessica has extensive experience working with complex trauma and family dynamics and has developed a strong foundation in child/youth development, parenting, and mental health. Her background informs a compassionate, trauma informed approach to supporting individuals and families through their healing journeys.
Motivated by the meaningful impact mental health support can have, Jessica pursued a master’s degree in counselling psychology. Her approach is rooted in the belief that healing is possible through a strong therapeutic relationship, and that clients are the experts in their own lives. She aims to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where individuals can understand themselves better and create lasting positive change in their lives.
Jessica works with a range of clients, with particular interest in supporting women through different (and often challenging!) life stages. She also enjoys working with men, children, and the family unit as a whole. Her therapeutic approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), family systems theory, and play therapy, all guided by a person-centered lens.
She has experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mental health diagnosis, life changes, sexual abuse, relationship concerns, and issues related to self-harm and suicidal ideation.
She looks forward to connecting with you!
Nikki Tiller, BA, BSW, MC, RSW
Nikki is a compassionate and dedicated social worker committed to person-centered care and advocacy. With over a decade of experience, she has supported individuals—children, youth, and adults alike— through trauma, helping them navigate life’s challenges with dignity, resilience, and self-determination. Having recently completed her Master’s degree in Counselling, she is excited to apply both her training and experience in a meaningful way.
She believes in meeting people where they are—honouring their experiences, strengths, identities, and unique journeys—while ensuring they feel safe, both emotionally and psychologically. Healing requires trust, and she strives to create a space where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. Whether someone is taking their first steps toward healing or working through deep-seated struggles, she offers a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where they feel seen, heard, and understood.
Nikki’s approach integrates trauma-informed care and evidence-based strategies to foster meaningful growth and self-empowerment. By walking alongside clients at their own pace, she aims to help them regain confidence, rebuild trust in themselves, and develop personalized paths toward well-being.
Healing is not one-size-fits-all, and her mission is to ensure each individual has the support they need in ways that truly resonate with them—while always prioritizing their sense of safety and comfort.
