Thank you for everything

I have so many good things to say about Christina, the services provided and my experience, that I honestly cannot think of how to start this review.

I came to the practise looking for fertility help in 2021 after multiple miscarriages.

Christina immediately made me feel safe, comfortable and I trusted her right away.

Fast forward today, I feel with every fiber of my being, that it is largely due to her that I am mere weeks away from having my rainbow baby boy.

It’s not just the services they provide but it’s how they make you feel that really sets this place apart from other practitioners.

I cannot recommend whole family enough.
Thank you for everything

Life saver!

Whole Family Health is a life saver! They truly take care of their patients. I see Christina for Acupuncture and she has helped me with everything from balancing hormones, relaxation techniques and pain management. I also go to the clinic for massages and have had an amazing experience with all their massage therapists.

Kind and knowledgeable

Alda is amazing for acupuncture and TCM, she’s very kind and knowledgable. I highly recommend her and Whole Family Health!

Best acupuncturist I have ever had!

I cannot recommend Dr. Alda Ngo enough. She was my doctor for 10 years in Vancouver. She has helped me with everything from back pain, to period pain to pregnancy and childbirth. I am very picky with who I let give me acupuncture and Dr. Alda Ngo is by far the best Acupuncturist I have ever had! Her practice is a perfect balance of Chinese medicine knowledge, western medical knowledge, and mindfulness. Not a day goes by where I don’t miss her! Edmonton, my loss is definitely your gain!

Help during my difficult journey

I was lucky to see Christina when I was struggling to get pregnant. Christina helped me and with help of acupuncture, I got pregnant in 11 weeks while getting treatment. Thank you Christina ❤️❤️.I am blessed with beautiful baby boy now with your help during my difficult journey

Invaluable program

I participated in an 8 week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction online program facilitated by Dr. Alda Ngo. It was the most amazing program I could take to help with my mindset and reduce stress. Over time with daily practice I noticed a shift in how I reacted to stressful events and being at peace with my health diagnoses. My sleep got better whereas before I would be up for 3-4 hours a night anxious over my health to the point that my multiple health diagnoses were affecting my daily life. Dr. Ngo is one of the most compassionate, kind and knowledgeable healthcare provider I have come across and trust me over the past 2.5 years I have seen more specialists than I can count.

THANK YOU for providing and facilitating an invaluable program!

Thank you

Catherine is very friendly, helpful, kind, and caring. Thank you for your help.

Improvement with my overall health

I reached out to Catherine for fertility acupuncture. Catherine has such a soothing voice and peaceful energy to her. Within a few treatments I started to notice an improvement with my overall health. Better sleeps, regular bowel movements, improved circulation, and most of all my menstruation cycles basically became symptom free. I hadn’t experienced this before and felt it was important to share my experience with acupuncture because there isn’t a lot of conversation around that. For anyone looking to improve their overall health I highly recommend acupuncture.

Update: I got pregnant within 1 month of “trying”. I didn’t expect that to happen to quickly, but I highly recommend acupuncture for anyone trying to conceive!

Beyond Thankful

If you are looking for the best acupuncturist for fertility, look no further. Christina is the person you should be going to and you will absolutely love her passion, care, and work integrity. I have been struggling with recurring polyps and for almost three years, I went through 2 surgeries to get them removed, but unfortunately, it ended in countless disappointments with negative pregnancy tests. Just when I was devastated that the doctors told me my polyps returned and that I needed another surgery + IVF given my polyp’s rate of growth, Christina gave me hope. Christina is realistic, empathetic, and a gentle guidance that’s there to nudge you to go a little further when you are feeling defeated. 2 months into my acupuncture session with her, I found out that we’re expecting a baby. I am beyond thankful for Christina’s support and her knowledge in the fertility field. She is truly an intelligent guide who cares about the well-being of her patients. This is rare to find in an individual and you’ll be lucky to have her on your fertility journey.

Attentive with clarity & understanding

Overall my experience with Whole Family Health and specifically Christina Pistotnik has been amazing! I highly recommend them to anyone on the fence about seeking out support. More details below if you’re interested… I first contacted Whole Family Health with hopes they could help me with fertility. I was connected with Christina and started with virtual appointments due to COVID (May 2020). Christina answered my questions with clarity and understanding, she followed up with an email helping me know what to expect in the upcoming weeks/months. After starting acupuncture with her in June 2020, I would contact her with questions around my menstrual cycle and how to interpret doctors notes or test results. Trying to conceive was frustrating and confusing for the first year. Once I connected with Christina it was much easier. She is always prompt to reply to emails between appointments. At appointments she listens attentively and answers all questions clearly. She truly made our journey to conception so much easier. Throughout my pregnancy I continued to follow her suggestions for herbal supplements and acupuncture. I continued to ask questions and use her support and guidance to help. There are so many new things throughout pregnancy, it is so helpful knowing you have someone so knowledgeable and professional in your former. As I went into labour I knew I was as prepared as I could be with the pointers and information from our sessions leading up. Now with my newborn I continue to know I have Whole Family Health to turn to with any questions that arise.
