Sarah Hammer (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahhammer) of To the Point PDX (http://tothepointpdx.com/) is an acupuncturist based in downtown Portland on the corner of 3rd and Washington—and she is not just a typical acupuncturist. You’re definitely going to want to listen into this episode and find out more about her and her practice.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:
* Sarah’s origins and how she got her start. She was actually in PR and a bit of a skeptic before making a total life and career change to pursue acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Being told she might never run again was what pushed her to look into all of her options and try acupuncture for the first time.
* Her passion for treating skeptics. The reason she set up her practice downtown is because that’s where the most skeptics are! She also loves to bring acupuncture into the workplace and show how it can work.
* The kinds of ailments acupuncture can handle. Sarah’s short answer is, “Any kind of pain,” but she adds that it’s important to talk to your practitioner. If there’s a way for them to help you with something other than pain, they will absolutely let you know.
* How Chinese medicine fits in. Sarah tells us about the four modalities and how acupuncturists are trained in each one so they can help treat you in every way that they can.
