About Bethany Richardson, LAc, FABORM
I opened my practice in 2002. In 2004 I became one of the staff acupuncturists at Pacific Fertility Center in San Francisco, in one of the first on-site acupuncture programs at a fertility clinic in the country. I got certified in Functional medicine and started to look at health from both perspectives and I became a Fellow with the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine.
Ultimately, a group of fertility acupuncturists started a collective of sorts where we could support fertility patients on-site at all the major fertility centers in the bay area. Pacific Fertility Center, UCSF, Laurel and Spring to name a few. With Integrative Fertility, we could maintain our private practice and know that if we could not be at the clinic for a client's IVF or IUI someone whom we trusted would be. We supported each other and our practices. It was a win-win. And the doctors and clients liked having a group that was well-trained and professional.
As fate would have it, I have landed back in San Antonio. Land of my birth and that of my mother and grandmother. And though I miss that temperate climate of Northern California, the sight of a mesquite tree brings me great joy or the amazing cackle of the grackle. And how I love warm nights, a rare event in the bay area. There is beauty and wonder in every landscape. Having been away for some time lends me an eye to more deeply appreciate this land. I’m grateful to have the chance to practice here and offer the perspective on health that years of study have and continue to provide me.
I can’t speak about myself without acknowledging those who walked before me and generously handed down their knowledge. It’s been an honor to learn from so many. Here are a few of the amazing teachers I have had the privilege to learn from and be inspired by: Diane Montiel, Sharon Weizenbaum, Jeffrey Yuen, Kiiko Matsumoto, Richard Tan, and Yi Tian Ni as well Loren Brown for continuing to bring knowledgable teachers to our table through Integrative Fertility Symposium, and Pro D Seminar
