 Meghan Matulis  

After personally experiencing positive results as an acupuncture patient, I decided to pursue a career as an Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine Practitioner. This profession has allowed me to work towards addressing the root of complex conditions using acupuncture & Chinese herbs, rather than focusing on the symptoms alone.

My healing passion lies in using Eastern Medicine to treat female reproductive health conditions, and my experience as an acupuncturist and Licensed Massage Therapist have given me a unique perspective in treating a diverse array of pain management conditions.

I am passionate about working with obstetric and gynecological concerns, including acupuncture during pregnancy, perinatal care, acupuncture and Chinese herbs for periods, PMS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), menopause & hormonal regulation. Additionally, I have a special interest in providing exemplary care to people throughout their fertility journey, for patients seeking support while trying to become pregnant and continuing their care through all stages of pregnancy and postpartum.

   Scott  Heyamato

 Started practicing yoga 12 years ago as a form of stress relief and a way to be in a quiet room to reflect and grow to be a better person. What started as a hobby quickly became a passion due to the relationships that he formed within the yoga community. Scott has attended multiple Baptiste Institute trainings including Level One, Art of Assisting, and Being of Power. Through the practice of Baptiste yoga, meditation and self-inquiry, Scott became more mindful in how he showed up empowered in his life and how he showed up for others.
