Eastside Natural Medicine is graduating!

Dr. Sunita Iyer ND, LM

This is the time of year when many of us are watching our babies move up and move on. Whether it is transitioning from elementary school to middle school (like my young gentleman), from high school into university life, or from college into the wild world of adulting, this season is abundant with transitions. Our lives are as full as our days are long. Soon this long season of growth and upward progression will have its day in the sun. Well…not that much sun…it is the PNW in June-uary after all 😉 Alongside it all, my other baby, Eastside Natural … Continue reading Eastside Natural Medicine is graduating!

Grief Work is Life Work

Dr. Sunita Iyer ND, LM

Got a chance to talk at the Breastfeeding Beyond the Hospital Stay conference this week in Seattle. No action shots this time . One of my favorite things to delve into right now is our secondary trauma as caring professionals. The grit and the sheer will that has to be part of our sustainability. And the burnout that often follows. . Maybe it sounds grim. But this is what juicy to me right now. Watching my own rise and falter under stress, trauma, and grief. And doing exactly what my grandmother (one I never met as she died related to … Continue reading Grief Work is Life Work

Back to Work…

Dr. Sunita Iyer ND, LM

Starting March 21, 2011, I will be back at the helm of Eastside Natural Medicine!  It has been an incredible experience to be home with Rohan and Jean-Paul as our family evolves and falls in love.  I am very grateful for all of your support, patience, and generosity.  I am also very grateful for Dr. Elias Kass.  Without him,  having this much time to be home with my family would have been nearly impossible.  His willingness to dive in, his steady presence, and incredible breadth of knowledge have been invaluable to me and many of you.  It was much easier to step … Continue reading Back to Work…
