Your Holistic Healthcare Clinic
Our work is based in Traditional East Asian Medicine, and we practice acupuncture, various forms of bodywork, and manual lymphatic drainage.
We are passionate about putting health back into the hands of the patient – through education and teaching home techniques. Your practitioner is not an expert on living in your body – you are! We consider ourselves interpreters of the body’s signals. Many of these signals can and should be taught to you – there is power in knowing how to heal your day to day issues.
Sarah’s Journey
Sarah’s journey into massage therapy began in 2010 at the National Holistic Institute Emeryville. It was during this time, while supporting her grandfather in hospice care, that she discovered the profound healing potential of touch and it’s role in compassionate communication. Motivated by this experience, Sarah embarked on her path, driven by a passion for holistic wellness.
In 2013, Sarah furthered her expertise by training in Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage. During her volunteer work at Charlotte Maxwell—a clinic dedicated to serving low-income women with cancer—from 2011 to 2016, she honed her skills and deepened her understanding of the therapeutic benefits of massage.
Continuing her commitment to comprehensive wellness, Sarah pursued certification in Esthetics and skincare at the Cinta Aveda Esthetics Institute in SF, also in 2013. Her dedication to providing holistic care led her to delve into Traditional East Asian Medicine in 2016. Sarah attended both the Acupuncture and Integrative College in Berkeley, California, and the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland, California, culminating in her LAc accreditation in 2020. She’s continued her education in Cosmetic Acupuncture, assisting with Michelle Gellis’ courses, and Orthopedic acupuncture with Jaime Chavez.
Today
Sarah is dedicated to integrating her diverse skill set. By combining her expertise in lymphatic drainage and esthetics with her knowledge of myofascial release, orthopedics, and Traditional East Asian Medicine, she crafts tailored and personalized treatments for her community. Sarah’s approach is rooted in balance, aiming to provide each patient with a uniquely enriching and therapeutic experience.
