Living the Practice

Dr. Sunita Iyer ND, LM

This season has brought a lot of change, as they do. We can’t really get away from change, and personally, I quite relish it. I love the challenge it provides my mind, heart, and body to stay agile and adaptable. Dare I say, resilient. This particular Fall has brought the launch of my practice after some time of hibernation for rest and growth. While it would be easy to say that this is the second season in a series or even a re-run, I am crystal clear that it is not. Like any good series, I have kept the main … Continue reading Living the Practice

Community Engagement Can Look Many Different Ways

Dr. Sunita Iyer ND, LM

Think about what Community Engagement means to you. What are the words, images, or feelings that come to mind? For me, this concept has evolved over my lifetime and my work as I have spent more years being in this world and as a professional. What leaps to my mind are: activism, advocacy, connection, social networks, and ground-floor solutions. And as I have reconnected with my own writing, poetry, and creativity (I am even taking a screenwriting class!), I am also deeply aware of how impactful art is to community engagement, growth, and social change. Sometimes social change happens when … Continue reading Community Engagement Can Look Many Different Ways

Professional Alchemy: Clinical Energy to Creative Energy

Dr. Sunita Iyer ND, LM

This past Summer the clinic and practice that I built over nearly 15 years transitioned to new, old hands. I knew it would provide a psychic relief for me; and even still I underestimated the freedom that the transition offered to my life. Not just a release from time expenditure or financial responsibility, but the low-grade white noise that had pervaded every waking minute of my life for so many years. For those of you who have had an experience like this, you know… it’s priceless. I decided, very unlike myself, to take a pause. To reject diving into yet … Continue reading Professional Alchemy: Clinical Energy to Creative Energy

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!

International Day of the Midwife

Dr. Sunita Iyer ND, LM

Today is May 5th, the International Day of the Midwife You might wonder why there is an international day of celebration for such a seemingly smaller or insignificant profession.  You might even be someone who struggles to categorize “midwife” as a profession at all. I will save you the history lecture for the moment but suffice to say that midwives have been around for as long as human beings, sex, birth, and death. For a profession that is utilized most commonly for perinatal care around the world, and in many places globally where health outcomes for the birthing parent and … Continue reading International Day of the Midwife

Talking a bit more about what I do, where I have been, and where I would like to go…

Dr. Sunita Iyer ND, LM

One of the things we like to do at the University of Washington Bothell and in the School of Nursing & Health Studies is to highlight what folks are working on. It is hard when professors are teaching, doing research, writing, and also living their good lives to connect with each other on what we are passionate about. Or what brought us to this work and continues to drive us. I find out new things all the time about my colleagues and I love it! Just the other day in a meeting we had a chance to share what instruments … Continue reading Talking a bit more about what I do, where I have been, and where I would like to go…
