Before becoming an acupuncturist, Sarah spent years working in film and television production and post-production in New York City. It was a career she loved, but her path toward medicine was already taking shape long before she left it.

Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 7, Sarah grew up learning to navigate a complex healthcare system from the inside. That experience gave her a deep appreciation for modern medicine and an equally clear sense of what it wasn't designed to do. Integrative care, to her, isn't an alternative. It's the missing piece.

Sarah holds a Master of Science and a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Health Sciences in New York City, and is a board-certified diplomate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology through the NCCAOM. She is licensed to practice in Connecticut.

In 2018, she completed training at the New Medicine for Women Institute, studying Functional and Integrative Medicine under Aviva Romm, MD. Additional training includes Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, Gua Sha Facial Fusion, Dr. Tan's Balance Method, Tu'lix/Arvigo Mayan Abdominal Massage, and Orthopedic Dry Needling.

Sarah believes the body has a remarkable capacity to heal, and that Chinese medicine's greatest strength is its ability to support and accelerate that process. She is a committed advocate for collaborative, integrative care, with a particular passion for women's health across fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and oncology care.

She is also the author of two bestselling wellness books: A Patient's Guide to Acupuncture and Aromatherapy for Self-Care.

Sarah didn't set out to run a business. But her production background, her years as a patient inside a system she both needed and outgrew, and her conviction that integrative care deserved better infrastructure all pointed in the same direction. Indigo opened in 2015 as a single-room acupuncture practice and grew from there. In 2020, her younger sister Carolyn joined, and together they built it into the integrative team it is today. She also mentors acupuncturists and healthcare providers who are earlier in that same process.

Sarah lives in Shippan Point, Stamford with her husband, two daughters, and two dogs. On any given weekend you're likely to find her at an Irish dance competition in a city she's never heard of, cheering at a theater performance, chasing her dogs down a beach with a tennis ball, or planning the next family adventure -  and somewhere in between all of it, working through her book club's latest pick. In 2023, inspired by a friend whose life was saved by bystander CPR, she co-founded Lucky Mother, a nonprofit working to place AEDs in small businesses and get more people CPR trained.

She is most herself when she is building something and dreaming big. After ten years, what comes next is still the most exciting part.
