Deborah Snyder Warshauer,
L.Ac., Fellow of Acupuncture Board Of Reproductive Medicine
With over 30 years of experience, Deborah brings both wisdom and warmth to her work as an acupuncturist. Her approach is intuitive, collaborative, and always rooted in compassion. Patients know her not just for her clinical expertise in fertility, pregnancy, hormone balance, sleep, and pain—but for the sense of trust and partnership she builds with each person she sees.
Deborah holds a prestigious Fellowship with the Acupuncture Board of Reproductive Medicine and has trained as a birth doula through DONA. She’s also a former faculty member at Yo San University’s doctoral fertility program and is certified in the NADA protocol for addiction support.
In her treatments, Deborah weaves together acupuncture, herbal medicine, supplements, cupping, gua sha, and patient education. But more than anything, she’s passionate about helping people feel empowered, informed, and more connected to their health.
When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find Deborah practicing yoga, walking on the beach, cooking something nourishing, or hiking local trails. She lives between Calabasas and Ventura with her husband and is the proud mom of three grown sons.
