L. Ac. Dipl. AHM., HHP

Sarah Vosen is an Asian Medicine and Holistic Health Practitioner with over twenty years of experience. She holds a Master’s degree in Acupuncture & Asian Herbal Medicine from the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, California, and completed a 1000-hour Holistic Health Practitioner and massage therapy program at Pacific College of Health and Sciences in San Diego. She is board-certified by the National Certification Board for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (NCBAHM) and licensed by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice.

Sarah’s clinical perspective is shaped by a lifelong curiosity about how systems work and why people feel the way they do. Originally studying Chemical Engineering, she discovered Chinese Medicine at 19 after experiencing profound improvements from herbal whole-food supplements. Intrigued by the body’s capacity to heal, she received acupuncture and bodywork sessions. This solidified her decision to study Chinese Medicine and massage therapy. Over the past 26 years, she also immersed herself in movement arts including yoga, Pilates, AcroYoga, and qigong. These experiences gave her a deep appreciation for the role of movement in embodiment, trust, and nervous-system balance in health, while within a supportive community.

Her own journey through burnout—supported by somatic work, therapy, Functional Medicine, qigong, along with her role with FRIED: The Burnout Podcast—further informs her clinical lens. She brings both professional training and lived experience to her work with patients, especially those with chronic, stress-exacerbated symptoms.

Sarah integrates acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, Asian bodywork, and nervous-system regulating somatic tools to treat conditions where physical symptoms overlap with emotional, mental, or spiritual patterns. Her approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that a person can heal when they get what they need and feel safe.

Sarah views each patient as a whole system—physiological, emotional, spiritual, energetic, and relational. She works collaboratively to identify the patterns, pressures, and internal narratives that influence health, helping patients rebuild internal safety, emotional resilience, and physical balance. Her care emphasizes clarity, compassion, and nervous-system restoration as foundations for sustainable healing.

Outside of the clinic, she enjoys the outdoors(walking, hiking, biking, or paddleboarding) when it’s warm and sunny, and loves gathering with friends and family around a delicious meal, or reading and resting, when it’s not.
