Steph Sanders (she/her), is a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese medicine herbalist committed to supporting your journey towards optimal health and balance. With a Master’s degree in acupuncture and Chinese medicine from Northwestern Health Sciences University, she blends time-honored traditions with modern understanding to offer comprehensive personalized care. Her own journey with acupuncture began when her late, special-needs rescue dog, Stella, received acupuncture for a physical deformity. Seeing the benefits firsthand inspired her to explore its healing potential, especially after years of managing her own challenges with anxiety. Steph has found acupuncture to be transformative for her mind, body, and spirit, and she’s passionate about sharing its power with others.

While Steph specializes in mental health support, pain management, and reproductive wellness, her clinical practice addresses a wide range of health concerns. From digestive issues and sleep disorders to long COVID, urinary, cardiovascular, eye, and ear conditions. Steph also embrace an inclusive, Health at Every Size, anti-fat phobic approach that welcomes individuals of all body types, genders, and backgrounds.

Steph believes it is important to note that acupuncture typically requires a series of treatments for favorable results. When booking your first appointment, view it as the beginning of a journey. She will collaborate with you to create a treatment plan that aligns with your specific health goals and respects your unique healing process.

Steph is dedicated to providing a safe, judgment free space where everybody is respected. Her approach combines gentle acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine techniques with herbal remedies to address root causes, not just symptoms. Whether you're battling the blues, chronic aches, or hormonal havoc, she’s an ally in this journey - and don't be surprised if your sessions include a few laughs too along the way.

On a personal note, Steph loves music, travel, and is a huge dog lover -always enjoying hearing about patients' pets. She has a furry friend of her own named Ozzie, who she loves talking about.
