November 2024: Welcome Sara Thomas, LicAc!
We are thrilled to announce that another licensed acupuncturist will join the staff at ACA! Sara Thomas, LicAc will start seeing patients at our clinic this month! She will be working Tuesdays 9am-1pm, starting Nov 26.
Sara is a 2022 graduate of the New England School of Acupuncture. Here are a few words from Sara about her path to this career:
"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."
