My Story
Hi, I'm Dr. Laura! My interest in acupuncture and Chinese medicine was sparked many years ago when I was struggling with chronic neck pain, TMJ, and migraines. I was constantly "throwing my neck out" to the point where I couldn't even turn my head. It was excruciating. I woke up with my jaw aching and my migraines were putting me in the ER. Like many people who come to my office now, I had tried everything that western medicine had to offer and nothing was working. I knew there had to be another alternative. Luckily, I found acupuncture and was finally able to find relief physically, and I learned to retrain my mind/ body connection to break my chronic pain patterns. I knew immediately that I wanted to help others find relief and break patterns of tension and pain. I understand how pain can take over your life. It makes focusing on work and being present for those around you very challenging. I love helping others find freedom from pain so they can get back to living!
I became interested in acupuncture while performing in the national tour of Phantom of the Opera. I had been eager to retire from the biz and knew I wanted to do something in healing. At the Kennedy Center in DC, we had a PT and an acupuncturist who would come in to work on us between shows and that really sparked my curiousity. Having two parents in western medicine, I loved that acupuncture has an east meets west approach.After completing pre-med, I left the show, and returned to LA to start studying acupuncture and herbal medicine full time. I graduated magna cum laude with a masters degree in Acupuncture and Herbal medicine from Emperor's College and then went on to complete the Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine degree. Because of my history, I have a special understanding of the physical and emotional demands of performers and the entertainment industry professionals at large. I have many Broadway/ TV/ Film actors, singers, as well as marketing and development executives, writers, lawyers, composers, crew, and accountants. I love serving this community.
I am also the daughter of a reproductive endocrinologist and understanding the in and outs of fertility, egg freezing, IUI, IVF, embryo transfers, pcos, and endometriosis, is part of my DNA. I am very lucky to have an IVF doctor on speed dial! On a personal note, at 35, I was told I had very low ovarian reserve and was entering perimenopause. I decided to freeze my eggs. The egg retrieval was not very successful, but did produce one single embryo. Two years later, I did acupuncture regularly when trying to conceive my first child and happily got pregnant. 3 years later, when trying to conceive a second time, I had two brutal back to back miscarriages. But, with acupuncture and the addition of Chinese herbs, I was able to have a second child. I am passionate about helping couples achieve their family goals with fertility acupuncture, and I am a very compassionate and understanding hand to hold along your fertility journey. I use the latest research to determine the most effective protocols for treatment to yield the best possible results for my fertility patients.
