About Sarah Hitchens
Sarah Hitchens is a medical herbalist and acupuncturist offering traditional Eastern medicine approaches to health and wellbeing. She qualified in Five Element Acupuncture in 1992 and in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 1995, and holds professional memberships with the British Acupuncture Council and the National Institute of Medicinal Herbalists.
Sarah's acupuncture treatments draw on both Five Element and TCM traditions, and may also include cupping therapy, moxibustion, electroacupuncture, and gua sha. Her diagnostic approach uses pulse and tongue assessment to reveal underlying patterns of imbalance. She incorporates elements of Ayurvedic philosophy alongside Western understanding, and offers lifestyle advice tailored to both Chinese and contemporary health models.
Sarah specializes in supporting women's health across all life stages, from puberty through to post-menopause, using herbal medicine and acupuncture. She also works with medical and birth trauma, bringing counselling skills developed through further study to her practice.
Whether you're seeking support for a specific health concern or looking to optimize your wellbeing through traditional medicine, Sarah offers a thoughtful, integrative approach grounded in decades of clinical experience.
