About Us

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 path into massage therapy began in 2010 at the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville. Around that time, while supporting her grandfather through hospice care, she experienced firsthand the profound healing power of touch — and the role it plays in compassionate communication. That experience shaped her commitment to holistic wellness and set her firmly on her professional path.

In 2013, she expanded her expertise with training in Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage. From 2011 to 2016, she volunteered at Charlotte Maxwell Clinic, serving low-income women with cancer, where she deepened her skills and her understanding of therapeutic care in real-world settings.

Sarah also completed certification in Esthetics and skincare at the Cinta Aveda Institute in San Francisco, rounding out her approach to visible and invisible aspects of healing.

In 2016, she pursued deeper study in Traditional East Asian Medicine, attending both the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley and the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland. She earned her LAc (Licensed Acupuncturist) credential in 2020, and has continued expanding her training with coursework in Cosmetic Acupuncture with Michelle Gellis and Orthopedic Acupuncture with Jaime Chavez.

Today

Sarah’s work draws from a wide range of disciplines: from lymphatic therapy to fascia research to Traditional East Asian Medicine. Giving her a uniquely integrative perspective on diagnosis and treatment. She is known for her ability to see patterns across complex symptom sets, often connecting issues that others overlook. Her practice is deeply informed by a sharp, observant mind and a genuine enthusiasm for uncovering how the body heals itself.

Sarah’s passion for this work runs deep: exploring the structures and pathways of recovery is both her profession and her personal obsession.  Every session is approached with focused attention, respect, and a belief in the body’s ability to repair and reclaim itself, given the right support.

Outside of the clinic, Sarah met Yoshi — a shy, soulful 20-pound poodle mix — at the Humane Society of the North Bay in 2021.  Yoshi can often be found delicately sniffing shoes or quietly reading into your soul with his gaze.
