Sara Bowes

Highly recommended! I went to Sara in order to receive treatment for nausea/​anxiety, as well as for a running injury. The running injury was in my heel, and because of all the walking I do in PDX it didn’t seem to get better.
First, upon meeting Sara she conducted an intake that was thorough. Frankly, after going to her for six months she knows a LOT about my health.
The treatment Sara did of my running injury helped right away (few weeks). We did acupuncture plus a topical ointment and self massage. Because of the fact I’ve just started working out the last couple of years, I have a variety of pulled muscles that I regularly develop. Sara has helped me get past injuries so that I don’t have to take such a long break when they happen.
My treatment for the anxiety started with acupuncture and a custom blend of herbs. I was initially skeptical on the herbs but found that I did feel better after taking them. The herbs and treatments haven’t been very expensive (I’m a student so money is tight) but I feel like the investment is really worth it.
Part of how Sara works is to help support you in making better decisions about food and exercise. I definitely have done the work on that end. In example, I don’t eat sugar foods in my breakfast anymore.
I have Western doctors in my life too, but I feel like Sara is this super important part of the picture. She takes the time to see the big picture which I don’t get elsewhere. It’s hard to find a good acupuncturist and Sara is one, so you are fortunate if you can see her.

AWESOME! I finally found help!
Sara is very attentive and wonderful to work with. She has a very curious and open and warm compassionate center that she works from. She helped me in just two sessions with several ailments, pain in my elbow, calves and neck — all from sitting to long at work and tennis. I highly recommend Sara!
