Sarah is an intuitive healer who uses traditional Chinese medicine to treat the underlying root causes of disease pattern and disharmony in the body. Sarah's treatments strengthen the system so that the body can naturally return to a state of balance. This way, as ailments are relieved, signs and symptoms do not return. The patient will be empowered with the knowledge to maintain his or her wellbeing and overall health. Traditional Chinese medicine is unique in its ability to bring success to any treatment plan by means of primary or complementary healthcare. Sarah's particular interests include internal medicine, emotional disorders, women's health, and pain management. Sarah's private practice has grown out of extensive experience treating patients in a variety of clinical experiences, including community acupuncture, MD offices, and hospital settings.

Sarah is earning her doctorate in Chinese Medicine and is also earning a specialization diploma in dermatology. She received her master's of science degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine (MSTOM) at the Pacific College of Oriental College. She is nationally board certified (NCCAOM) in traditional Oriental medicine, acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine, and maintains state licensure in acupuncture for both California and New York.

Drawn to many of the mystical practices that originated in ancient China for most of my life, I’ve been a California state licensed acupuncturist since 2002 and a student of the Jade Purity branch of Daoism since 2001.
​
After many years of questioning the nature of reality, and using these practices to work through my own struggles, heal old wounds, and find a deeper connection to the Divine, I’ve personally seen just how powerful and transformative this path can be.
​
It has been my blessing to hold space for the journey of my clients and students many times over and I’m constantly inspired by the strength and beauty of the human spirit.
​
My studies of medicine, meditation, philosophy, mindfulness-based practices, and religion have always been focused on the practical application of these subjects in the lives of my clients and myself.

I am a registered doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Dr. TCM) and a registered clinical counsellor (R.C.C.) practicing in Vancouver, B.C.

I am passionate about helping people to improve their health through a body and mind integral approach. Perhaps, like many of my patients, you have a chronic physical condition that is compounded by fear, worry, or stress. Or perhaps, like many others, you experience depression, anxiety, or mood swings, which are impacting your entire life — your housework, your work, or your family life. For more than a decade, I have been helping people like you to get on a path of physical and emotional well-being.
