About Iris Cutler, DAHM, EAMP

I am a West Seattle local and licensed East Asian medicine practitioner (EAMP, WA License # AC 60916037). I received my Doctorate of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine at the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine (SIEAM). My practice includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, tuina (Chinese medical massage), shiatsu, cupping, guasha, and lifestyle guidance. I have a particular interest in working with those who experience pain and anxiety.

I am committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all and invite my clients to help hold me accountable. Personally and professionally, I am dedicated to engaging with people for the art of enjoying care in the midst of pain and stress.

Before practicing medicine, I majored in Art History at Carleton College in Northfield, MN. When I’m not practicing medicine, I love dancing (shower style) and going into nature with friends.
