Sarah Maiden, LAc

Acupuncturist
1801 Bush St, Ste 106, San Francisco, CA
After graduating with a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I volunteered for two months running a rural health clinic in tribal Nepal, seeing over 600 patients. This experience gave me advanced training in treating orthopedic issues, a better grasp of both Eastern and Western differential diagnosis, and a healthy respect for the efficacy of frequent acupuncture treatments. I enjoy treating both the urgency of third-world disease as well as the difficulty of first-world issues. I have a depth of experience treating everything from ear infections to assessing concussions to ordinary back pain. The scope of acupuncture is wide and effective for many conditions. I feel strongly that the energy medicine of acupuncture can move qi, invigorate the body, and shift perspective in ways that we do not fully comprehend. In addition, the Chinese apothecary is a time-tested tool for many health conditions. I completed the year-long Whitfield Reaves Orthopedic Apprenticeship program in Sports Acupuncture for orthopedic issues and pain. Also, my background of ten years of massage therapy gives me unique perception with my palpation skills, while my year working as a Certified Nurse Aide in a hospital gives me greater diagnostic skills and a basic familiarity with varying disease presentations. Additionally, I completed a 600-hour training in coaching and am currently working on the Hakomi somatic counseling program. This training and ongoing classes in listening skills and habit change have been crucial in developing my empathy and understanding of the challenges my patients face. With the added benefits of infrared light, cupping, and Chinese herbs, acupuncture is truly a unique energy medicine of great depth and scope. I look forward to meeting you in the clinic. I am in network with Cigna and accept Anthem Blue Cross, United, Meritain, and more insurances.
