EAST Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine was born out of a love for the sophistication and philosophy of Traditional East Asian Medicine, and wanting more people to have access to this natural and effective healing tradition. It is an ancient healing art that has withstood the test of time. One thing that makes it particularly effective is that it is customized to the individual.
There is no one size fits all. Another, is that it is HOLISTIC. The mind, body, and spirit are interconnected and all are considered and addressed during treatment. At EAST, space is held for your healing journey. Enough time is allotted for you to discuss your goals and concerns. Traditional diagnostics and modern lab testing are integrated when necessary to provide a clear picture of your health.
Treatments are gentle, relaxing, and restorative. EAST can be complementary to your current medical treatment or used as an alternative to allopathic methods. EAST is for accessing the best of all worlds to promote healing and a sense of true wellbeing.

Dedicating just 3 months to improving overall health and fertility, can increase your chances of conception and healthy pregnancy.
Making changes in lifestyle, nutrition, receiving acupuncture and taking herbs and supplements, can mean the difference of not conceiving, recurrent pregnancy loss, and having a healthy pregnancy and baby.

One of the most vulnerable and least discussed aspects of childbearing is the postpartum recovery period.
The first 6 weeks after giving birth is sometimes referred to as the 4th trimester.
Traditionally, it may be referred to as the mother-roasting period (for the importance of avoiding exposure to cold) or sitting the moon (referring to the period of at least a month or moon cycle of recovery).
It is a time when sleep deprivation is at its highest, and the child bearing person is at their weakest, physically and in turn emotionally and spiritually.

We develop coping and self soothing strategies to help us function in our lives.
Those strategies usually work well for a while until they outlive their usefulness and we find that we are no longer able to cope and our daily life is affected.
Trauma gets stored in the body and can manifest as pain, illness, infertility, anxiety, and changes in mood, sleeping and eating patterns.
Acupuncture can help to regulate the nervous system by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest, digest, reproduce) and deactivating the sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight, or fawn).
