Born & raised in Massachusetts, Sarah attributes her roots to her sassy personality and contemplative nature. Sarah dove headfirst into nutrition & dietetic studies at the University of Connecticut to learn how best to use food as medicine. Following her undergraduate degree, Sarah was determined to connect more of the body & mind to find balance. Sarah attended an intensive Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training as well as pursued Ayurvedic Foundational studies. Gaining these insights and tools along the way it provided a solid foundation to further her studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Sarah completed her Master’s in Acupuncture from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, studying both Chinese & Japanese traditions. Advanced studies were in both men’s & women’s health disharmonies, Korean hand therapy, cancer pathology, and hospice care.

In addition to being an acupuncturist, Sarah is a writer & a budding artist in Charleston. She writes on the good days and the tough ones. She writes & paints as a means to unravel an expression of joy and wisdom that is eager for the page. Sarah says, “If I stay really still, I can catch the words as they move through me. I try to write down what exists in the ethers around me. To capture a moment, a feeling, a pulse with words, feels like an honor and a gift to those that may come upon it.”
