Larisa Corda

Dr Larisa Corda MBBS BSc MRCOG is an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, with a specialist interest in Fertility, an Author and a Broadcaster. Qualifying as a medical doctor from Imperial College London in 2007, her subsequent training has been both in the UK and Australia, where she gained an understanding and appreciation of gynaecological, obstetric and fertility issues across a wide international population. Her expertise is not just limited to allopathic medicine, but extends across homeopathic and endobiogenic modalities too.

She believes in a mind body holistic approach to wellbeing and fertility, combining the best of modern cutting edge science with the ancient wisdom of complementary approaches, bridging the gap between allopathic and alternative, and addressing the physical, mental and spiritual dimensions within health and wellbeing.

Her scientifically informed spiritual approach embraces preconception care as the foundation upon which subsequent health is built, whilst optimising natural fertility. Her methodologies help to support a healthy pregnancy whether through natural conception or using mild and conscientious assisted reproductive technologies, as well as the health of subsequent children that are born. In addition, her holism extends to looking after patients with a range of chronic women’s health conditions, including endometriosis, fibroids, abnormal periods, polycystic ovaries and vaginismus, and treating these conditions through a multidimensional lens.

Her first book, The Conception Plan, outlines her pioneering approach to pregnancy, based on a tried and tested series of methodologies that combine the best of Western and Eastern philosophies.

She is a passionate women’s rights ambassador, with roles on a number of international charities that have included UN Women and The Circle, Saying Goodbye, Kicks Count, Baby Lifeline and Endometriosis UK. She received the We Are The City Rising Star in Healthcare Award in 2020, and in 2022, was nominated for a BBC Radio London Make a Difference Keyworker Award, for her work on the frontline during the pandemic. She has also been recognised as a leading doctor in the UK, by Top Doctor, in 2023, as well as being nominated Medical Expert of the Year by My Oovi in 2024.

She regularly appears and advises in the media as a leading expert in women’s health, fertility and pregnancy, including TV, radio and a range of magazines and newspapers, as well as being fertility expert on ITV’s This Morning, where her holistic approach was broadcasted and led to the natural conception of a baby boy to a couple who had struggled with infertility for several years.

Her research interests include the effect of stress on reproductive outcomes, older age motherhood, as well as a focus on improving the global injustice of inequity of access to reproductive care. She is passionate about dismantling stigmas and taboos so often found within female health and her focus is to enable personal empowerment for the parents of tomorrow, to discover the innate tools within, to create changes that lead to enduring health and fertility for themselves as well as their children.
