info_outlineMy guest is licensed acupuncturist, Laura Erlich. She is the owner and founder of Mother Nurture Wellness, a holistic women’s health collective located in West Los Angeles, where she maintains a private practice as an acupuncturist with a specialty in reproductive medicine. Her career in the healing arts began in New York City in 1998 when she graduated from the Swedish Institute of Massage and immediately felt called to work with pregnant women. By 1999, she was back in her home town of Los Angeles, where she quickly built a successful house-call massage therapy practice and became a birth doula. After several years of growing her massage/doula business, Laura felt a desire to deepen her knowledge of both eastern and western medicine and enrolled in Chinese Medicine school at Emperor’s college in Santa Monica.
In 2007, she gave birth to her son and her new practice, and began tending to them both with her full heart and soul. Her background in pregnancy and birth made way for an acupuncture and herbal medicine practice with a speciality in women’s health, with a special focus on fertility, the childbearing cycle and labor support. After 5 years in practice, she began teaching other acupuncturists through webinars and joined the faculty at Yo San University as a professor in their doctoral program in reproductive medicine.
In 2015, Laura co-authored her first book, with Emily Bartlett, Titled: Feed Your Fertility. The book breaks down different health conditions and compares how Eastern medicine and Western Medicine view and treat that health condition. That was the same year, she founded Mother Nurture Wellness. Mother Nurture Wellness is one of the leading Acupuncture and Holistic Health Centers in the city of Los Angeles. Her Center, offers more than acupuncture and herbal medicine, Mother Nurture Wellness also offers chiropractic care, health and nutrition coaching, pelvic floor physical therapy, body work, midwifery services and a curated retail shop of wellness products made by local woman-owned businesses, such as SeedLyfe and Counter Top, for example.
