About EAST & WEST: Our Philosophy of Slow Wellness
At EAST & WEST, we believe postpartum care isn’t a luxury—it’s a vital necessity. Too often in Western culture, the postpartum season is overlooked, rushed through, or treated as an afterthought. We’re here to change that.
Founded by Dr. Morgan Zapalac—licensed Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, certified Functional Medicine practitioner, and a mother herself—EAST & WEST blends the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the science of Functional Medicine to offer truly holistic, evidence-based postpartum support.
Our approach is rooted in what we call slow wellness.
What is Slow Wellness?
Slow wellness is the antidote to quick fixes and bounce-back culture. It’s about:
Intentional care that respects the body’s natural healing timeline
Deep nourishment that supports mind, body, and spirit
Root-cause healing using time-tested herbal medicine and functional nutrition
Sustainability, both in how we heal and how we source
Reverence for the postpartum season as a sacred, transformative time
We don’t chase trends—we honor tradition. Every EAST & WEST product is formulated by Dr. Morgan herself, using organic, ethically sourced herbs and clean, non-toxic ingredients. Our kits are crafted not only to soothe symptoms, but to rebuild the foundation of long-term health.
Why Postpartum Matters
There are three golden opportunities to transform a woman’s health across her lifespan: menarche, postpartum, and menopause. Postpartum is one of the most powerful—and most neglected—in modern medicine.
How a woman is cared for after giving birth affects everything from her hormonal health and digestion to her emotional well-being and how she transitions into perimenopause decades later. At EAST & WEST, we treat postpartum as a window for healing—not just recovery.
Our product line includes doctor-formulated teas, topical botanicals, and fully curated postpartum recovery kits. Every item is designed to restore, replenish, and rebalance the whole mama.
This is the postpartum care Western medicine has been missing.
We’re here to bring it back—with reverence, science, and soul.
