Hello and thank you for your interest in working with me. My name is Mena Swanson Eastwood, I am the owner of Amena Wellness Center, located in Chicago, IL.
Mena Swanson Eastwood, BS, MS, LAc. State Board and Licensed Acupuncturist, Medical Herbalist, and Practitioner of Chinese Medicine. Certified Health Coach through the American Council of Exercise (ACE), Plant-Based Health Coach, Law of Attraction Coach, Meditation & Qigong Instructor and Reiki Master/Teacher.
Formal educational & training bio:
Board Certified (NCCAOM) Acupuncturist & Herbalist
Board Certified (NCBTMB) Massage Therapist
As a graduate of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine I have earned a four year degree as Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine and hold a Diploma of Oriental Medicine through the NCCAOM. In conjunction with my prior training in biology and psychology I have been able to merge my passions in science, biopsychology and Chinese medicine into a truly holistic approach to healing and health. In particular I have merged these areas quite effectively into women’s health care including, but not limited to, gynecological and reproductive health. Additionally, my training as a massage therapist has afforded me years of experience in many areas of body work from professional athletes to pre/postnatal massage.
