Born on the banks of the Mississippi River, in the farmlands of Iowa — Sarah Chase has always enjoyed observing nature and the natural flow of the season’s cycles. She loved traveling all over the country with her grandmother and seeing the different landscapes and lifestyles the world has to offer.
Things really started to make sense to Sarah when she was introduced to alternative healing methods and metaphysical studies as a teenager.
Sarah immersed herself in the arts, and received a BFA in Ceramics in Athens, GA. After she graduated, she decided to really follow her heart and combine her two loves — yoga and massage — by attending the Asheville School of Massage and Yoga in Asheville, NC. When she first saw the city nestled in the oldest mountains in the world, she knew it was where she belonged. It was a transformational experience that changed her from the inside out. After she graduated massage school, she began to work as an acupuncture assistant at the Chinese Acupuncture and Herbology Clinic which opened her up to the world of Chinese medicine. Finally a medicine that felt like it could get to the root of colds and fevers and physical pain and even emotional distress. As soon as the first needle was placed and she had her first feeling of qi sensation, she knew that she wanted to know as much as possible about Chinese medicine.
Moving to Portland has brought about an exceptional amount of growth, new connections, and new ideas. Her practice continues to grow in exciting ways that have challenged and surpassed her conception of the human body and its innate capacity to heal. She loves preparing delicious meals for her family with fresh local ingredients, taking trips to the coast in search of marine life, and breathing in the Western Red Cedars and Douglas Firs
