Licensed Acupuncturist, Chinese Herbal Medicine
Sarah DeLaForest
Sarah grew up in Roseville. She graduated with a Master's degree in Chinese Medicine from AAAOM in 2011. Sarah has been fully NCCAOM board certified in acupuncture and Chinese Herbology since 2012. In 2014 she opened her own clinic in Coon Rapids. Sarah saw a need for access to affordable care, so she began with a community-style business model (low cost/high volume) and gradually began incorporating more time-intensive treatments to accommodate the spectrum of individual patient needs. Ten years of running a successful clinic led her to become proficient in techniques which optimize patient outcomes. Sarah's skills include Tan/Tung "balance method", electrostimulation, "dry needling", bleeding therapies, Chinese herb formulas and modifications. She is also trained in pranic healing, a form of energy work. Sarah has experience working with patients of all ages from 2 days to 99+.
In her free time Sarah enjoys training for/running races from 5k - half-marathon, biking, paddle-boarding, playing pinball, and singing karaoke. She speaks French and Mandarin. She is also attempting to improve my Norwegian, Italian, and German skills.
