Sarah has been interested in health since she was a child and is fascinated by the healing power of the human body. She completed her Honours Bachelor of Health Science degree at the University of Western Ontario and then attended the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) in Toronto. She was involved in school as a class representative and also was awarded two academic excellence awards.
During Sarah’s year long internship she treated patients on the Cancer Care specialty shift at The Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic. She also completed a four month internship downtown at Queen West Community Health Centre. After graduation she embarked on the trip of a lifetime and travelled to Kenya, volunteering with The Foundation for Integrated Medicine in Africa (FIMAFRICA). She was humbled by the experience which gave her a new perspective of life.
Sarah arrived home from this adventure and ready to start a new chapter in her life. She opened up her own clinic, Sow Health, in the hopes of spreading her passion for health.
Sarah is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor registered through the Board of Directors of Drugless Therapy – Naturopathy.
