MEET OUR CHIROPRACTOR
DR. CLARK
Chiropractor | Owner
Dr. Clark Pitcairn started his journey in chiropractic as a patient. At the age of 7, he received his first chiropractic adjustment. In turn he remained a patient due to the profound changes it made in his life. As a child, Dr. Clark had a chronic upper respiratory problem. His cough was so bad that it became a bit embarrassing for him in grade school. After starting chiropractic treatments, his cough began to lessen and eventually went away completely. Due to that care, he was able to run around and play sports with all the other kids without wheezing. His mother saw the benefit of having her kids under regular care so she made it a priority for all three of her children. As a result, today, Dr. Clark and his two sisters are all chiropractors. Dr. Clark’s interests include hiking/backpacking, rock climbing, snowboarding and surfing. He currently lives in NE Portland with his beautiful wife Julia and four wonderful children Dylan, Brody, Micah and Tanner.

Taylor graduated from East West College in June of 2018 where he learned Deep Tissue massage, Myofascial release, and Structural Bodywork. He also holds a BA in Social Science from PSU. Taylor believes in the power of focused, long term solutions to clear away the layers of tension that prevent us from living as our confident and competent selves–whether that means addressing our knee discomfort so we can get back on the bike, or our lower back pain so we can pick up our grandkids. When Taylor is not in the treatment room, he’s trail running, philosophizing over how the universe works with a new friend, or watching Planet Earth II on Netflix.

Laura Eastmond
LMT # 19674
I received my training in massage at East West College in 2012. At East West I was
educated in deep tissue massage, craniosacral therapy, tui na and swedish massage.
Since my time at East West, I have continued education in craniosacral therapy (CST)
and medical massage. I value a scientific approach to my work as a therapist, while also
incorporating the deep sense of listening that comes from extended training in CST. I
acknowledge that every person’s body has different tissue density, different patterns of
tightness, and different paths to unwinding tension. I work to actively construct my
technique to where my client is at that day. Finding a particular fascination with many of
the common postural issues faced by our modern lifestyles, I spend much of my time
studying exercises and techniques to improve the lives of my clients.
I am passionate about working with populations who have experienced whiplash, TMJ
dysfunctions, adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), low back pain, plantar fasciitis,
recurrent headaches, insomnia, anxiety, and depression. I also have worked with the
pre/post natal population for many years. I spend most of my spare time
being active outside. Whether tending my garden or backpacking the North Cascades, I
can’t get enough of the outdoors!
