Lori Guynes Lac

read moreI am a nationally certified and California State licensed acupuncturist specializing in reproductive health care, with an emphasis on fertility enhancement and pregnancy care. I received my masters degree from the Santa Barbara College of Oriental Medicine where I also served on the faculty. I enjoy helping my clients experience greater health and balance through gentle acupuncture, lifestyle and nutritional counseling, and Chinese herbal medicine. I treat women and men who are solely using Chinese medicine, and others who are using it in conjunction with Western medicine, including Assisted Reproductive Technology: Intra-uterine insemination (IUI) and In-vitro fertilization (IVF).

read moreI did not know much about acupuncture or Chinese medicine when I first went to see Lori. I had been trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for over a year and had started fertility treatment with oral medication and hormones. I was feeling stressed, anxious, and depressed about not getting pregnant. Lori really took the time to ask me a lot of questions and did a thorough evaluation before we even started treatment. My acupuncture treatments were very relaxing and I looked forward to them every week.
