Hayleigh Murray-MacDonald

Hi, my name is Hayleigh, and I’m so excited to be part of the team at Ottawa Cancer and Lymphatics Centre! 

I graduated from Algonquin College in Spring 2024 with an advanced diploma in Massage Therapy and have since found a deep passion for oncology rehab, women’s health, and post-surgical care. I’ve also completed my certification as a Lymphedema Therapist and continue to expand my skills through training in modalities like cupping, low-level laser therapy, and more. I am currently enrolled in the Acupuncture Practitioner program at triOS college, and am looking forward to adding acupuncture to my scope of practice upon completion.

I enjoy supporting patients through the treatment of surgical scars, myofascial restrictions, and reduced range of motion. My approach combines hands-on techniques like joint mobilizations, static stretching, and individualized home care to help you feel stronger, more comfortable, and more like yourself again. Every treatment is tailored specifically to your goals, your recovery journey, and your lifestyle. 

I feel incredibly grateful to work alongside such a collaborative, knowledgeable team here. We’re constantly learning from each other to ensure our patients receive the most comprehensive and compassionate care possible. 

Outside of the clinic, you can find me spending time with friends and family, or enjoying my favourite hobbies—horseback riding, playing soccer, or snowboarding.
