I went to see Sarah Shiho seeking help for my plantar fasciitis, and she did enormously, I work 8 to 10 hours on my feet, so it was imperative to get better, now I don’t even think about my feet, it is incredible! Even better she helps me manage my perimenopause symptoms, night sweats are gone, hot flashes also gone, foggy brain managed too! I tell all my friends about her and I can’t say enough how effective her acupuncture treatments are. She is very approachable and she listens carefully to you and your ailments

I was recommended to Sarah Shiho by a colleague and I am so glad to have been introduced to the 1 needle acupuncture that she does as well as the cupping. Her knowledge and compassion are very fitting for her profession. I feel the treatments have complimented my naturopath visits and are helping me optimize my health and I feel so much better.
