Your Womb, Heart, and Body.
Hi, I’m Dr. Iris
Board Certified PM&R Physician
Lifestyle Medicine | Aesthetic Medicine
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) | Cranial Osteopathy
I’m a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) Physician, also known as a Physiatrist, and I have over 12+ years of experience treating patients via Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) and Cranial Osteopathy. After spending more than a decade immersed in medical training, I was burnt out and frustrated by the limitations of traditional medicine, especially when it came to providing adequate care for pregnant and postpartum women.
I founded Luminé Wellness to fill this critical gap in care. The 4th trimester – the first 12 weeks postpartum – is often overlooked in Western Medicine, leaving many women helpless, without the support they need to recover and thrive.
I aim to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and hands-on care to look and feel your best throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
I’m excited to help you prepare for pregnancy, navigate labor, and thrive in motherhood. Together, we’ll ensure you live a healthy, resilient, and pain-free life.
What is Matrescence?
Matrescence /mæˈtres.əns/ noun.
— The emotional, mental, physical, social, and physiological transformative process a woman goes through as she becomes a mother.
Matrescence is a developmental passage that begins when a woman tries to conceive, gives birth, or becomes a mother through adoption or surrogacy. This term, coined by medical anthropologist, Dana Raphael, in 1973, reflects the profound identity shift that happens during this time – a process that can last from the postpartum period to as long as 10 years or more.
“When a baby is born, so is a mother. Each unsteady in their own way.”
— Alexandra Sacks, MD
This transformative journey involves the “push and pull” of emotional changes, much like adolescence. It’s normal to feel ambivalent as you adjust to motherhood, and it’s important to recognize that matrescence is different from postpartum depression. Embrace this transformation with self-compassion and grace.

Our Services
At Luminé Wellness, we provide comprehensive services to support women through every stage of life, including motherhood:
Postpartum/4th Trimester Care
This is a period of profound transformation for the mind, body, and spirit. We treat all musculoskeletal issues and pain during this time, including pelvic floor dysfunctions, lower back pain, and diastasis recti (abdominal separation). Your care bridges the gap between your hospital discharge and your first postpartum visit with your OB or PCP.
Pregnancy Care
Have you been told that “pain is just part of pregnancy”? Or that “it’ll go away after you have the baby”? We believe pain is not something you should have to “deal with” during pregnancy. We offer comprehensive packages designed to treat a variety of pregnancy-related conditions, including pubic symphysis dysfunction, sciatica, low back/SIJ pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and more.
Newborn Care
We provide osteopathic treatments for newborns/infants, children (<5 years old), pre-teens (9-12 years old), and teenagers (13-18 years old). Our approach focuses on prevention, by addressing health concerns early on, to ensure optimal growth and development. For newborns, early interventions address issues, such as colic, reflux, breastfeeding difficulties, “flat-head,” and sleep disturbances.
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM)
Whether you’re an athlete, performing artist, or someone suffering from acute or chronic pain, OMM offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to healing. Our treatments not only alleviate pain but also improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote your body’s natural ability to heal itself. Structure and function are interconnected, and by working with the mind, body, and spirit, we can maximize function and wellness.
Soul-Focused Healing (SFH)
Much like OMM, SFH is based on the belief that the body has the innate ability to heal itself. Due to injuries, trauma, and emotional stress, our energetic bodies can become blocked or imbalanced. During a SFH session, we work to realign your energetic body with your physical body, getting to the root cause of your pain, symptoms, or imbalances. By clearing energetic blockages, you can achieve a state of harmony and function at your highest vibrational frequency.
Aesthetic Medicine
What makes Luminé Wellness unique is our wide range of aesthetic treatments is designed to complement your overall wellness journey by enhancing your natural beauty while boosting your confidence from the inside out. Our aesthetic services include Medical Chemical Peels, Botulinum (Neurotoxin) Injections, Microneedling, Vampire Facials, and Dermal Fillers. We offer a holistic approach to aesthetics, ensuring that your treatments align with your inner wellness goals.
At Luminé Wellness, we give you the tools and support you need to live a life of purpose & thrive throughout life’s transitions.
Mission:
Our mission is to empower women through their journey from pregnancy to motherhood, using a whole-person approach to help them live happy, healthy, resilient, and pain-free lives.
We are here to “luminé” (light) the way for every woman to tap into her intuition and Higher Self, so she can take control of her health and body and live her Soul’s Purpose.
Vision:
We envision a world where every woman feels confident and empowered, with access to the tools to prime her body for success during pregnancy and labor, and the invaluable support needed during the 4th trimester.
Our goal is for every person to take complete control of their health by tapping into their Higher Self and living in alignment with their Soul’s Purpose.
Purpose:
Every woman deserves access to education and care that helps her prevent and address the challenges that arise from pregnancy to motherhood.
We believe that every person should learn how to listen to his/her/their body, prevent disease and pain, and live with vitality.
