About Doctor East

My story

Hi, I’m East—yes, really. And yes, I have a brother named West.

My story begins in Southern California in the ‘70s and ‘80s, where I grew up with a deep love for people, an unshakable connection to the Divine, and an inner knowing that I was here to help.

That calling has taken many forms over the years—engineer, project manager, salesperson, real estate agent, entrepreneur. But it wasn’t until I stepped into the world of healing and wellness that I truly lit up. I returned to school and earned my Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM), and over the decades, I’ve had the privilege of treating thousands of patients and mentoring just as many practitioners.

I became a professor at Pacific College of Health Sciences in San Diego, and in my clinical practice, I’ve integrated acupuncture, Chinese medicine, herbal therapy, Reiki, manual work, aromatherapy, supplements, and even light therapy. But over time, one truth became crystal clear:
Real healing begins in the energy field.

Today, my work is rooted in frequency. I help people raise their vibration by shifting beliefs, expanding awareness, practicing forgiveness, and aligning with the energy of who they really are. This is the subtle body—the space where transformation begins.

Whether it’s your health, your business, your mindset, or your soul’s path—I’m here to help you elevate. To become the next best version of you.

More About Me (in no particular order):

I’m an entrepreneur and founder of companies devoted to raising collective consciousness. Past projects include: Gem Elixirz, You Are Gifts, Recharge Healing Event, Subtle Energy Summit, and Radiant Aging Summit. Now I focus on Doctor East and Illuminis Publishing.

I’m an author of multiple books, including the Amazon bestseller More Than a Treatment, as well as 21 Days to Love, Natural Tools for Wellbeing, Rainbow Fairies (as East Lewis), and my latest: Living Life in Your PJs.

I’m a mom, a wife, a speaker, a teacher, and an athlete who has completed Ironman, over a dozen half Ironman triathlons around the world, countless marathons and half-marathons—and I still teach fitness classes today.

I believe in people. I believe in possibility. And I believe you’re meant to live a life that lights you up from the inside out.

Think of me like Mick in the Rocky movies—your spiritual trainer in the corner, reminding you of your strength, your brilliance, and your power.

Let’s elevate.

“I have enjoyed this class so much. It’s inspired me to make this a year that I take my practice (and myself) to a new level. More importantly, finding a way to juggle work and family with setting priorities of what’s most important and then making it happen!”

“Just wanted to let you know that I thought today’s class was totally awesome! It was my first time being away from my daughter, and also my first CEU course. All the information and the way you presented everything made learning and reviewing all the old “TCM” practices so much fun. I just wanted to let you know that you really made my day special! Thank you for everything!”

- Jess

“Thank you so much East! It was such an amazing class, an absolute pleasure of mine to meet you, and am very grateful for the path the universe has chosen for me that it guided me to study with and be guided by you.”

I started with the Multiple Six Figures in 12 months and set the goal to make $240,000 in 12 months and I have made $20,000 a month since then!! I’m on track to reach that goal this year!!!

Thank you so much for offering this and sharing your wisdom and gifts!
