Welcome!

East Tern Wellness was created from a long-held dream to offer an integrative, holistic path toward health and well-being. Rooted in alternative therapies and natural approaches to healing, East Tern Wellness provides a supportive space where individuals can reconnect with balance, peace, and their body’s innate ability to heal.

Founded by Dr. Allison Lewis, DPT, East Tern Wellness reflects Allison’s lifelong passion for understanding the body, the mind-body connection, and the healing process as a whole. A former gymnast and physical therapist with more than 13 years of experience, Allison has spent much of her career specializing in geriatric care, complex cases, advocacy, and helping individuals overcome barriers that limit healing and progress. Her work has continually expanded beyond traditional models of care, guided by a belief in the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.

Drawing from both evidence-based clinical training and holistic healing practices, Allison brings a unique blend of scientific understanding, intuition, and compassionate listening to her work. Her own personal healing journey led her to explore alternative therapies and energy healing modalities, deepening her appreciation for the body’s energetic systems and natural capacity for restoration. As well as earning her Doctorate of Physical Therapy through the University of New England, she is trained in CranioSacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute, is a Usui Reiki Master, a Restore for Life practitioner, and has completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training.

Allison is passionate about creating a safe, nurturing environment where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. She believes in listening not only to the individual, but also to the subtle cues of the body and energy systems, allowing each session to follow the lead of the person’s unique needs and healing process.

Outside of her practice, she enjoys gardening, art, traveling, and spending time outdoors — especially near the water.

East Tern Wellness is honored to support clients on their journey toward greater balance, wellness, and peace.
