“I am 2 months into the weight loss program at WAW Mind and Body, and it’s been a game changer! Sarah and the staff is super supportive and really know their stuff. They create personalized plans that fit your lifestyle, and the focus on both physical and mental health makes a big difference. The weight loss injections have been a game changer. I no longer snack all night. The community at WAW Mind and Body is awesome – everyone’s encouraging, and it feels great to be part of a group working towards similar goals. Plus, the results are sustainable. I've learned healthy habits that I can stick with long-term. If you're serious about losing weight and getting healthier, WAW Mind and Body is the place to go. It's been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. Thanks to the team for all their support and guidance!”

Getting to know Sarah Wawrzyniak

Passion for Healing: From an early age, I was drawn to the intricate tapestry of the human mind. This passion led me to pursue a career in Psychiatry, where I have dedicated myself to understanding and addressing the diverse challenges that individuals face in their mental health journeys. Educational Journey: I earned my bachelor’s degree in science and nursing from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2005, setting the foundation for my deep exploration into the complexities of health. Building on this in 2007 I completed my master’s degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner, followed by a Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My academic journey has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide comprehensive and personalized care. Clinical Approach: In my clinical practice, I prioritize creating a safe and supportive space where individuals can openly express their thoughts and emotions. I also provide a comprehensive array of medical weight loss solutions. I believe in the power of collaboration, working hand-in-hand with my patients to develop tailored treatment plans that address their unique needs. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, ensuring that my patients receive the most effective and up-to-date care. Advocacy and Education: I am a staunch advocate for mental health awareness and destigmatization. Beyond my clinical practice, I actively engage in community outreach programs, advanced practice nursing education, educational initiatives, and public speaking events to foster understanding and empathy around mental health issues. Holistic Well-Being: I understand the importance of holistic well-being and recognize that mental health is a multifaceted aspect of our lives. Outside of my professional role, I find joy in activities that nurture my own well-being, such as hiking, spending time with my family, and practicing mindfulness.

    Sarah truly listens. I can tell she really cares about me and my health. I feel like I can be honest with her and I trust her.
    Sarah was extremely knowledgeable and very compassionate towards all my health struggles. She was easy to talk with and followed up afterwards to see if I had questions about my treatment plan. Seriously, you don’t find this kind of bedside manner amongst medical professionals anymore. Thank you Sarah for the ease of service, I highly recommend.
    The online process to establish care and conduct the telehealth visit was easy to follow and worked without issue. Sarah is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable.
