Sarah Knaup has a very natural, professional approach to healing...she projects a warm, caring attitude and offers acupuncture services in a peaceful environment. I left feeling renewed and energized! - Female, stress relief.
I met Sarah Knaup during the worst time of my life, while struggling with infertility. Sarah was warm, caring, and knowledgeable from the moment I met her. The acupuncture treatments were so relaxing, Sarah was always there for me no matter where I was emotionally and without fail she would help me get to a better place before I left. I also had treatments before and after my IVF transfer. Sarah and an acupuncture treatment made the experience warmer and less intimidating. Even my husband who was initially skeptical of acupuncture fully recognizes how it has helped me. - Female, fertility
Sarah has been a true blessing to relieve my sciatic pain and neck sprain after a water skiing injury. I'd recommend her for anyone that has ANY ailment!- Female, neck pain and sciatica.
After going for treatments from the Chiropractor and the Medical Doctor I found that Acupuncture was the ticket for me. Sarah’s gift of patience and gentleness with this client, who is afraid of needles, is another reason I would never go to anyone else. - Female, foot and ankle pain.
For many years I had gone to chiropractors and massage therapists for the same recurring pain in my neck and difficulty in turning in my head to either side. They temporarily relieved some of the pain, but the difficulty in turning my head never went away. After only two acupuncture treatments by Sarah Knaup for the same problem, not only was the pain eliminated, but I immediately had much greater range of motion with my head. The relief has now lasted for six months and I am a safer driver. Learn from my mistakes. Make Sarah Knaup your first choice for treatment of your pain issues.- Male, neck stiffness and pain
