Laurel Binder's Bio

Acupuncturist in Santa Monica, California

acupuncture infertility "Having tried two other acupuncturists in my attempts to get pregnant after a miscarriage, I had just about given up on acupuncture before I stumbled across Laurel Binder. She is an amazing acupuncturist and human being. While my previous acupuncturists had left me bruised around 50% of the time, Laurel never bruised me once. She is approachable, kind, supportive, extremely knowledgeable, and instantly puts you at ease. I always looked forward to my appointments, to which I happily drove 30 miles each way. Her office has such a calming energy, and even during the most stressful times I managed to fall asleep during the treatments. I absolutely credit her with helping me get pregnant and stay pregnant with my twin boy and girl. I cannot thank her enough." --Nicole

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an important part of a Traditional Chinese Medicine system with a history of over 2500 years. Already used widely throughout Asia and Europe, Acupuncture is considered one of the newest primary health care modalities in the US.

Acupuncture is very effective at treating insomnia, anxiety, stress, all kinds of pain, digestive issues, strengthening the immune system, increasing fertility, managing menstrual cycles, and many chronic conditions not adequately treated with western medicine.

Acupuncture can strengthen the physical body, prevent disease, control pain, calm the mind, enhance health, assist in sports performance, weight loss, addiction withdrawal, and achieve longevity. more...
