Dr. Jamie D. Olesen has dedicated his career to helping individuals achieve the best version of themselves—combining the precision of advanced aesthetic medicine with the depth of functional wellness. As the founder of Hemingway Medical Spa, he offers a modern, patient-first approach that prioritizes subtle, evidence-based enhancements grounded in overall health and well-being.

Dr. Olesen’s medical path began with a passion for surgical care. During his early training, he published a first-author scientific paper exploring the impact of urinary continence on quality of life in pediatric patients with spina bifida—a topic that continues to inform his holistic, empathetic approach to care.

Currently a surgical hospitalist in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Alberta Hospital, Dr. Olesen brings extensive clinical experience to his practice. His background in family medicine has shaped his belief in conservative, personalized treatments that maintain natural results. A strong advocate of the “less is more” philosophy, he guides patients toward thoughtful enhancements while remaining committed to preventative health and longevity.

Hemingway Medical Spa began as a boutique aesthetic practice but quickly evolved under Dr. Olesen’s leadership into a destination for comprehensive, functional wellness. Today, the clinic offers cutting-edge technologies like Emsculpt Neo, alongside services that go beyond traditional, insured healthcare—addressing hormone balance, physical health & vitality, and confidence from the inside out.

Raised in Sherwood Park and educated in Edmonton, Dr. Olesen earned his Bachelor of Science in 2009 and his Doctor of Medicine in 2013 from the University of Alberta, completing his Family Medicine residency in 2015. He remains a lifelong learner with advanced training in aesthetic medicine and is a member in good standing with the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC), the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA), the Alberta Medical Association (AMA), and the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA).

Throughout his practice, Dr. Olesen remains a steadfast advocate for patient safety, often advising patience to ensure the most enduring outcomes. He not only enhances physical appearance but empowers patients to make informed, health-focused decisions, ensuring they look – and feel – their best. Whether addressing physical concerns like body contouring, hair loss, or skin laxity—or helping patients navigate deeper issues related to confidence, energy, and wellness—Dr. Olesen leads with compassion, precision, and a deep respect for the human body.

His ultimate goal? To help every patient feel empowered, supported, and beautifully aligned—inside and out.
