Fertility and Women's Health
MEET YOUR ACUPUNCTURIST
Tara Diaz, LAc, FABORM
I’m Tara Diaz, a board-certified fertility acupuncturist (ABORM) based in El Segundo.
As both a practitioner and a mom of two, I understand how emotional and vulnerable the fertility journey can feel. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, heard, and cared for every step of the way.
My approach blends evidence-based fertility support with a calm, grounding treatment experience—so your body has the best possible environment to do what it’s designed to do.
Fertility and Women's Health Acupuncture in El Segundo
If you’re trying to conceive, you may be feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure of what to do next.
Maybe you’ve just started your journey, or maybe you’ve been trying for a while.
Maybe you’re preparing for IVF, or navigating irregular cycles and hormone imbalances.
Whatever your path looks like—this can be an emotional and deeply personal experience.
You don’t have to go through it alone.
HOW I SUPPORT YOUR FERTILITY
Acupuncture offers gentle, natural support for your body and your nervous system during this time.
I work with patients who are:
-
Preparing for IVF or IUI
-
Trying to conceive naturally
-
Experiencing irregular or painful cycles
-
Navigating hormone imbalances
-
Looking to support implantation
-
Managing stress and anxiety around fertility
-
Supporting your body through pregnancy, postpartum, and into menopause
Your care may also include supportive therapies such as LED light therapy using the Celluma device—an option often recommended by fertility specialists like the Egg Whisperer—to help enhance circulation, support cellular function, and create an optimal uterine environment.
Each treatment is personalized to your body, your cycle, and your goals
HOW ACUPUNCTURE CAN HELP
Acupuncture can support fertility by:
-
Regulating hormones and menstrual cycles
-
Improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
-
Supporting egg quality
-
Reducing stress and cortisol levels
-
Enhancing outcomes alongside IVF and other treatments
It works with your body—not against it.
What to Expect
Your first visit includes:
Detailed Consultation
Your first visit begins with a thoughtful, in-depth consultation designed to fully understand your health history, menstrual cycle, and fertility journey. This is a dedicated space where you are truly listened to, allowing us to uncover the nuances of your body and create a foundation for personalized care.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Your treatment plan is carefully tailored to your unique physiology and evolving needs, and may include both acupuncture and customized herbal medicine. Herbal formulas are thoughtfully adjusted throughout each phase of your menstrual cycle or aligned with IVF protocols—including stimulation, suppression, and transfer—to support your body with precision and intention at every stage.
Gentle Acupuncture Treatment
Acupuncture treatments are gentle, calming, and deeply restorative. I often work with the body’s “extraordinary” channels—deeper pathways that help regulate hormones, support the nervous system, and bring the body into balance in a more profound way. Many patients leave feeling grounded, supported, and deeply at ease. When supportive therapies like cupping or LED light are appropriate, they are simply included as part of your care—so your experience feels seamless and focused on what your body needs.

Tara Diaz is a wonderful acupuncturist. I saw Tara during my pregnancy and she was kind, knowledgeable and really helped my pain. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Tara highly enough! After struggling with menstrual cycle issues for nearly two years and consulting multiple doctors with no success, I turned to Tara as a last resort—and it was truly life-changing. In just three sessions, I regained my cycle, and to my amazement, I became pregnant the very next month.
Now, as I near the end of my second trimester, my pregnancy has been smooth and stress-free, and I credit much of that to my continued acupuncture sessions with Tara. Her treatments have been instrumental in helping me manage stress and feel balanced throughout. Tara is not only an expert in her field, but also incredibly compassionate and attentive. She takes the time to listen and tailors each session to meet your specific needs at that moment.
If you’re considering acupuncture, don’t hesitate to see Tara. She has quite literally changed my life, and I will forever be grateful to her!

I could not recommend Tara more highly -- she is a fantastic acupuncturist and overall wonderful person. I went to Tara in the midst of fertility treatments and she took the time to go through a thorough health history so she could best design an acupuncture plan to support my treatments. This was my first time trying acupuncture and I was impressed with Tara's approach and the results. I always left our sessions feeling so calm mentally and physically, which was invaluable in helping to navigate the ups and downs of fertility treatments. I also went in the midst of COVID and felt very safe in a clean environment. Her prices are also very reasonable for the South Bay. If you are looking for acupuncture support on your fertility journey I wholeheartedly recommend checking out Tara!
