Hey fam! Ghoncheh here – Aphrodite’s Chief Operations Officer and lovey dovey fertility acupuncturist.

I know you’ve all been wondering. Maybe you’ve been too shy to ask. But I’ll just out and say it. My name is Persian for “rose bud” (cue the ‘awww’). I swear I won’t judge you for mispronouncing it and just love it when people try. Give it your best shot baybee!

In the pockets of my flowy linen pants you can usually find my emotional support black cherry lip tint. I carry it everywhere and if I ever lose it my day WILL be ruined. In there you will also find my debit card that, like my pants, often tends to be free flowing and I usually think is lost somewhere.

Current obsessions include season 8 of Selling Sunset (came for the fashion, stayed for the drama), block print 100% cotton dinner napkins which make any meal feel every so slightly elevated and bougie, and tons of fresh flowers around the house which always brighten up my days.

My husband Leif and I got married deep pandemic but met back in college, went our separate ways then reconnected over a decade later over a can of chickpeas in the pantry aisle of a Santa Cruz natural food store. Now we have a two year old daughter named Donya, who we recently made the mistake of taking camping for the first time. 11/10 do NOT recommend y’all.

I’m the youngest of 4 siblings and yes, we have a group text that most people would cringe at but is a huge source of joy in my life. No shame that I still have youngest child vibes and don’t plan to give that up any time soon.

I’m ready to be your #1 cheerleader on your journey to wellbeing. Set up an appointment today
