About Sarah
Though Sarah enjoys treating a wide variety of people and cases from pain management to emotional distress/disorders to digestive complaints, she loves working in women’s health and particularly with women around reproductive health and fertility, and perinatal care. Acupuncture can greatly benefit both mother and baby pre-conception, during pregnancy, and after birth. She is experienced with labor induction as well. She also enjoys treating children.
Sarah Stillman is a board certified as a Diplomate in Oriental Medicine (Dipl. O.M.) by the National Committee of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and a licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac) in the state of Colorado. She practices both at Boulder Chiropractic and Nutrition in Boulder and in nearby Lyons, CO, where she lives. She also offers remote treatments via Zoom or phone.
Sarah is trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Japanese style of acupuncture, Intuition Medicine®, Chinese herbal medicine, Oriental nutrition, Oriental bodywork (shiatsu and tui na), pediatric acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture, and auricular acupuncture.
Sarah received her first acupuncture treatment at the age of 15 in her hometown, Telluride, CO. This sparked a deep interest in holistic medicine which led her to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Integrative Physiology from CU Boulder and then a master’s degree in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College, also in Boulder, CO. She then studied and worked with esteemed Boulder acupuncturist, Dr. Jeffrey Dann and associates from 2009-2020.
Through the Academy of Intuition Medicine in Sausalito, CA, Sarah studied deeper spiritual healing work. In 2024 Sarah obtained her Master Certification in Intuition Medicine® there. This work greatly influences her acupuncture treatments.
Sarah’s schooling trained her in Chinese medicine, though her continued studies led her to specialize in Japanese acupuncture. She gravitates toward this style because it aims to balance the qi by gently strengthening areas of deficiency through delicate needling techniques using the thinnest needles, allowing the body to gracefully integrate the change.
Her studies took her to Japan to the In-Touch Japan Acupuncture Seminars in 2011, 2014, and 2019. Other professional trainings have been in Japanese acupuncture with Edward Obaidey, the Japanese acupuncture tradition of Iyashi No Michi (The Way of Healing) with Yasuda Mukan Sensei, nutritional approach to disease with Donna Wild, cosmetic acupuncture, energy work with Psychic Horizons Center and the Academy of Intuition Medicine, Sotai (Japanese neuromuscular re-education), moxibustion, osteopathic listening techniques, and more.
