Sarah Aiken-Felling, MAcOM, LAc, LMT/ABT, NCCAOM Dipl. OM & ABT (Eau Claire, WI)

Over two decades ago, Sarah began studying holistic health care and Asian Bodywork Therapy (Amma Therapy) as a quest to reduce the occurrence of respiratory ailments, migraine headaches, and daily muscle aches. The changes in her health were so dramatic that she continued her professional training in Amma Therapy to help others improve their quality of health too. After 10 years of private practice as a Wisconsin Licensed Massage/Asian Bodywork Therapist, Sarah decided to advance her studies in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN. She graduated with her Masters in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (MAOM) in August of 2015, and has had a steady Acupuncture practice since that time.
