Lori Guynes, L.Ac.

I am a licensed acupuncturist specializing in women’s health care, with an emphasis on fertility enhancement. I graduated from the Santa Barbara College of Oriental Medicine where I also serve 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 use sterile, disposable needles and herbs that have been tested for pesticides, heavy metals and pharmaceuticals.

Though I am not currently working as a Doula/Labor Assistant, I completed training in 2000 through ALACE (Association of Labor Assistants and Childbirth Educators). Most of my continuing education training has focused on reproductive health issues for women and men. A highlight of that training was studying with Randine Lewis, author of The Fertility Cure.

Besides helping women conceive, I enjoy working with expectant mothers with issues such as morning sickness and to help support the body to prepare for labor.
