Sarah studied massage therapy and acupuncture at MacEwan University, and completed NAIT’s personal training program prior to this. During her time at NAIT, Sarah played for the Ooks volleyball team. In 2014, Sarah suffered from compartment syndrome in her right leg, underwent multiple surgeries and as a result has 30% muscle deficiency in her calve. This injury made her eligible to play on Canada’s women’s sitting volleyball team where she has travelled the world representing her country. Her journey with compartment syndrome and her subsequent experiences with alternative health practitioners lead her to pursuing a career in complementary health. Holding a hybrid approach to her practice, Sarah integrates Eastern and Western Medicine during each session, as she keeps her roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine and has a passion for treating holistically.
