Sara Thomas, Lic. Ac, MAOM

I have always been pulled to the work of a healer as I enjoy providing ease to the life of others. My path toward a healing profession began at a very young age. My grandmother, who is a retired LPN, showed me how to feed squirrels and chipmunks out of our hands when I was young.  This small act of caring for another creature filled me with a sense of purpose. To provide care and comfort feels like a natural extension of who I am. During my exploration of various medical modalities,  I discovered that I wanted to help others before their issues necessitated extreme treatment measures. This is one of the reasons I was so drawn to acupuncture and Chinese Medicine; it provides great support to one’s healing journey. It is an all-encompassing method that allows for each patient to be treated in an integrated way.I am fascinated by the therapeutic power of plants. One day, I hope to have the knowledge to forage herbs and create my own plasters, lotions, and teas. I studied at the New England School of Acupuncture (NESA). I chose this school because of its status of being the oldest acupuncture school in the US and its integrated herbal program.
