Accessible Acupuncture is an LGBTQIA2S+ inclusive clinic that offers acupuncture for chronic pain, mental health, fertility, obstetrics, and uterine health conditions. We offer several specialized acupuncture services including:

  • Reducing stress and anxiety related to identity.
  • Stopping pain and tension after using a chest binder.
  • Supporting assisted fertility for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and couples.
  • Healing and scar reduction after surgery
  • Lactation support for non-gestational parents

Our Doctor of Acupuncture, Dr. Melanie Morrill Ac. is renowned for her effective and compassionate acupuncture treatments. We are located inside the Hys Centre and we welcome all members of our Edmonton and area community.

Affirmative and inclusive care is incredibly important to Accessible Acupuncture and we have taken several steps to ensure all people feel welcome.

Our intake form asks about gender and sex, your preferred name, it uses gender-neutral language around uterus and prostate health, and it has a check-box if you wish to identify yourself as LGBTQIA2S+.

Inclusion and accessibility are part of Accessible Acupuncture’s core values because acupuncture is for everyone. Our goal is for all Edmontonians to receive quality acupuncture healthcare. 

“Mel goes above and beyond! She’s been so incredible during our journey into pregnancy. I’ve been seeing her weekly to support IUI cycles! I was getting really discouraged waiting for an LH surge and Mel was so kind and compassionate. She saw me twice right before my surge and it made a huge difference in my cycle and my relaxation going into treatment. The day of my first IUI She booked me in after hours to make sure I was able to see her right after the IUI. I fell asleep almost as soon as she got the treatment started because I know I’m in such good hands with her. Mel is also a queer friendly practitioner and makes her services accessible to everyone! Thanks again for everything Mel!!”
