Sarah Humpal, L.Ac.

Sarah received her first acupuncture treatment somewhat skeptically from Mend’s community clinic. Over a series of treatments, she noticed not only her symptoms subsided, but she found a greater sense of calm and richer sense of self, which led her to pursue a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. She is delighted to be coming full circle to serve as an acupuncture practitioner at Mend.

Prior to her acupuncture studies, Sarah earned a Master’s of Arts in social work and public policy from the University of Chicago and worked in adult literacy education and in multiple levels of government. Sarah is constantly curious about the way that systems and individuals influence each other’s wellness, and this interplay is foundational for Chinese Medicine. When not practicing, Sarah loves porch-sitting, exploring power dynamics, snacking, and adventuring to places near and far.
