About Sarah
Sarah is a French native, born and raised in the South of France. She came to the United States in her mid twenties and raised a family in Mill Valley.
She has been practicing Acupuncture for over twenty years. At the core of her approach is how the Body and Mind are two sides of the same coin and should be approached together.
With a background in psychology, Chinese Medicine was a first attempt to integrate these two facets.
As a life long Student Sarah has continued to broaden that perspective bringing Functional medicine and Coaching into the mix.
In 2015 after studying Qigong with her Teacher Liping Zhu, sarah became a certfied instructor in the Heavenly essence lineage.
When you can approach Life and Health with curiosity, patience, compassion and playfulness the possibilities for growth and healing are endless…
Sarah has a strong personal Spiritual practice that spans over many years of studying native American rituals, Bhuddism, Daoism and Course in Miracles. Both in communities and retreats and her own studies and commitment.
She has approached those from the perspective that a sound spirituality launches from a sound and balanced psychology.
Most important to her is to strive to offer compassionate, honest and informed care while holding a loving and safe place for patients to return to their own innate balance.
Overall, tapping into joy, playfulness, curiosity and engagement are key to getting better and creating real shifts.
Outside of her work, self cultivation and study life. Sarah loves to swim, hike and dance. Be around plants, water and in nature. Be a mother, daughter and friend. Play with her different creative pursuits, listen to music, cook and eat tasty foods while enjoying good company.
