Providing Integrative Support On Your Path To Parenthood
Evidence-Informed Fertility Care Backed by Specialized Training
For many people, the path to pregnancy can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re just beginning your fertility journey, trying to conceive naturally, or undergoing treatments like IVF or IUI, you deserve care that is both compassionate and highly specialized.
Larisa Boyd, L.Ac., FABORM, has been a Fellow of the Acupuncture & TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) since 2009 — one of the first practitioners in the U.S. to achieve this rigorous certification.
ABORM is an international organization that sets the highest standard for integrative fertility care.
The Right Training Makes A Real Difference
Whether you are just starting your trying to conceive journey or are in the thick of it, I highly recommend Larisa. After multiple years of trying to get pregnant, including 8 IUIs, every diagnostic test under the sun and REs telling me that they didn't think I needed IVF yet, I was feeling incredibly frustrated.
One of the REs I saw recommended I try seeing an acupuncturist that specializes in fertility. I had worked with a few acupuncturists and there is a significant difference between a general practitioner that "does fertility" and a FABORM certified acupuncturist.
From the first visit with Larisa I was blown away by her depth of knowledge and her compassion. Larisa supported me through 2 natural conceptions and two devastating losses and eventually through egg retrievals, a successful embryo transfer and pregnancy. Her guidance, support and expertise has been immeasurably valuable to my body and heart and I am so grateful I found her.
