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.

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.

Wellspring Physician Acupuncture is a Family Practice based Classical Chinese Medical practice that offers care to children and adults.

Classical Chinese medicine considers multiple aspects of a person when identifying root causes of an illness or promoting health. In addition to providing treatment, our practice strives to provide extensive education on the principles and theory of Chinese medicine. Considerable time will be spent discussing the approach of the treatment as well as the Chinese thinking behind healthful living, disease prevention, self-care, exercise and dietary practice. We encourage our patients to read and educate themselves about Chinese medicine and to feel free to ask as many questions as they may have about their care.

Our services include acupuncture, Chinese herbal remedies, Chinese dietary education and simplified Qi Gong instruction.
