The Multifaceted Benefits of Fertility Acupuncture
Fertility Acupuncture is a cornerstone of our holistic fertility program, offering targeted benefits that address a wide range of reproductive health challenges. Here’s how it supports both men and women on their fertility journey:
Miscarriage Prevention
Acupuncture can play a critical role in reducing the risk of miscarriage by relieving stress, stabilizing hormones, and preparing the uterus for successful egg implantation. By addressing factors like genetic issues, hormonal imbalances, nutrition, and mental health, fertility acupuncture provides a supportive foundation for a healthy pregnancy and postpartum experience.
- Supports uterine blood flow: Ensures a nutrient-rich environment for embryo implantation.
- Reduces stress hormones: High cortisol levels can impact the chances of a successful pregnancy.
- Enhances immune regulation: Prevents the immune system from attacking the embryo.
- Promotes postpartum recovery: Balances hormones and reduces stress after childbirth.
Healthy Hormonal Balance for Fertility
Imbalances in hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can significantly impact fertility. Acupuncture for fertility supports the liver’s natural detoxification processes, helping to eliminate toxins that disrupt hormonal balance. This benefit extends to both men and women, promoting a healthier reproductive system.
- Regulates menstrual cycles: Helps achieve consistent ovulation and improved cycle regularity.
- Reduces symptoms of PMS and PCOS: Minimizes hormonal fluctuations that affect fertility.
- Improves endocrine function: Balances thyroid hormones that are crucial for reproductive health.
- Detoxifies liver and blood: Eliminates toxins that may interfere with conception.
Sperm Motility and Concentration for Fertility
Male infertility can often stem from issues like low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology. Fertility acupuncture treatment has been studied extensively as a treatment for these challenges. By improving stress management, balancing hormones, and enhancing sperm quality, acupuncture provides measurable improvements in male fertility outcomes.
- Boosts testosterone levels: Helps improve sperm production and quality.
- Improves seminal fluid: Supports the creation of a healthy environment for sperm mobility.
- Enhances sperm morphology: Reduces structural abnormalities for better fertilization potential.
- Addresses lifestyle stressors: Mitigates the negative effects of stress and fatigue on reproductive health.
Endometriosis and Fertility
Endometriosis is a common yet complex condition that can create significant barriers to conception. Acupuncture for endometriosis helps by reducing inflammation, improving menstrual flow, and minimizing pain and clotting. Additionally, it aids in optimizing estrogen clearance and addressing stress, both of which are essential for improving fertility in women with endometriosis.
- Alleviates pelvic pain: Provides relief from chronic discomfort linked to endometriosis.
- Improves egg quality: Supports healthier ovulation cycles despite the presence of endometriosis.
- Regulates estrogen levels: Prevents hormonal imbalances that exacerbate symptoms.
- Reduces adhesions and scarring: Enhances reproductive organ functionality.
This integrative approach combines the benefits of acupuncture for fertility with additional modalities like nutrition and functional medicine, ensuring a comprehensive pathway to reproductive health.

“As a clinician and leader, I see myself not only as a caregiver but also as a teacher—empowering patients with the knowledge and tools they need to take charge of their health. By educating and guiding them, I can help transform their lives far beyond the treatment room, creating lasting wellness that they can carry with them. – Dr. Tammy Lalonde”
Caring for people is my true passion and one of life’s greatest callings. With years of experience as both a Paramedic and Acupuncturist, I’ve supported patients through obvious and invisible injuries alike. I’ve been there during moments of deep crisis—whether delivering babies in cars parked roadside, providing care at 30,000 feet aboard a domestic flight, or flying emergency medevacs over the Arabian desert. Through these experiences, I’ve learned not only how to care for those in urgent need but also how to recognize the long-term impact that lifestyle, diet, and fitness can have on overall health.
As my career has evolved, so has my focus. I now concentrate on helping more people earlier, preventing minor concerns from escalating into more complex and costly illnesses. A key part of this shift is my role in leading our Hormone Health program, which empowers patients to address hormonal imbalances that affect energy, mood, and overall well-being. This program has far-reaching impacts, not only improving individual lives but also strengthening the health of entire communities. By helping people regain balance, we’re preventing chronic diseases and fostering long-term wellness. Through a combination of my background in emergency medicine and women’s health, I offer a unique, integrative approach. I draw on the strengths of oriental medicine, along with the expertise of top practitioners, to deliver care that restores balance to the body, mind, and spirit.
My academic journey has allowed me to seamlessly blend oriental medicine with Western healthcare, creating a holistic approach to patient care. My expertise lies in navigating high-stress, complex situations, and I have a deep passion for managing care and treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD—especially among Armed Forces and Emergency Services personnel. In addition to my extensive background, I have advanced training in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) through Worldlink Medical, which enhances my ability to help patients achieve hormonal balance and long-term wellness. With a long-standing career spanning North America and the Middle East, I have been privileged to serve as a respected clinician, clinical educator, and fire and emergency medical dispatcher. I hold active licensure and registration with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), the College of Acupuncturists of Alberta (CAA), the California Acupuncture Board, and the Alberta Herbalists Association (AHA). Additionally, I have served as a Board Director with the Alberta Pain Society and am a current member of the CAA Competence Committee.

Anjali Nagda 🇬🇧 🇮🇳
Anjali Nagda has been working as a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist with an extensive academic background in Clinical Psychology, advocating for the powerful potential of utilizing the subconscious mind. Over the past year, Anjali has been navigating the evolving scope of counseling in Alberta, registering herself as a Registered Clinical Counselor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and as a Counseling Therapist with the Association of Counseling Therapists of Alberta (ACTA). Her affiliation with additional regulatory bodies is underway, especially now that clinical counseling can be directly billed.
Anjali combines her expertise as a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist and a Registered Clinical Counselor to offer integrated services as a Clinical Counseling Hypnotherapist. This dual approach empowers her to work with both the conscious and subconscious minds of her clients. She supplements various conscious therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), to name a few, which help individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, manage painful emotions, decrease conflict in relationships, and transform irrational beliefs into rational ones. These techniques are particularly effective for treating anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, anger, guilt, and unhealthy dependency.
Under hypnotherapy, Anjali employs techniques such as JPMR (Jacobson’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation), Guided Visualizations, Regression Therapy, Parts Integration Therapy, Behavioral Hypnotherapy, Analytical Hypnotherapy, and Inner Child Therapy, among others, to support clients with psychological trauma, specific fears, phobias, anxiety, sleep issues, and more.
Anjali’s invaluable experience at a De-addiction and Rehabilitation Center has given her the opportunity to work closely with individuals grappling with addiction. She focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying triggers that contribute to addictive behaviors, helping clients achieve a natural state of mindfulness and emotional regulation. By incorporating techniques such as Age Regression and Parts Therapy, Anjali empowers her clients to replace their dependency on substances with healthier coping mechanisms and a renewed sense of self-worth.
Anjali’s role has been evolving as her stay in Canada lengthens, driven by her dedication to supporting her clients to the best of her abilities. By combining Clinical Hypnotherapy and Clinical Counseling, she offers a holistic approach not commonly found in the Edmonton market. This unique service allows her to reach more individuals who previously faced barriers due to billing issues.
Anjali’s dedication to her clients’ well-being, combined with her expertise in both Clinical Hypnotherapy and Clinical Counseling, makes her a compassionate and effective guide on their journey towards transformation and healing. Her hard work behind the scenes ensures she can now support a broader range of clients through direct billing, welcoming those who were unable to access her services earlier.
