“How do you put your experience with Sarah Tewhey into a few words? Impossible! She is much more than an acupuncturist. She is empathic, nurturing, supportive and intuitive. Sarah offers the energetic and healing aspect of acupuncture, as well as support and guidance. She helped me through loss, infertility and two C-section for breech babies. Although it was in my plans to have Sarah at my delivery for pain control, my son had other plans. She was able to come after the delivery for help with swelling in my legs, recovery and to meet my love. That visit helped complete the journey that Sarah and I had together. She also supported me through my second delivery. Sarah and acupuncture along with the passion she has for women’s health is amazing and I strongly suggest any woman consider connecting with her and seeing what she can offer for your journey!”

“I had no idea how helpful acupuncture could be during birth! I was challenged with back labor and Sarah’s strength and hands on my back relieving pain was essential. There was a portion of my labor when I wasn’t able to urinate and catheterization entered the discussion. Sarah instead used a gentle hip rocking technique to move my hips and free up my bladder. It was such a relief to avoid that intervention! After my babe was born, when all of the attention in the room shifted to her, Sarah kept her focus and care centered on me. Postpartum, she also helped me immensely with the emergent challenges of becoming a mother in ways I could never have imagined. Both personally and professionally she is a true gift to have in the birth space. ”

““My first experience receiving acupuncture from Sarah was when I was 40 weeks and 6 days pregnant with by second baby. It was a Thursday. I was hoping to avoid a medical induction due to being post dates, which I had needed with my first baby. Seeing Sarah was a lovely, relaxing and comforting experience. She put me at ease and made me smile, which was not easy to do at that point in my pregnancy! Later that day I had a few contractions and active later started the following evening. I had my baby in my arms by 7:30am on Saturday morning. As a doula I refer my clients to her all the time and she has helped countless birthing people in our community. She has a true gift for acupuncture and a passion for supporting people during pregnancy.” ”

“Sarah’s presence and knowledge were so wonderful to have during my labor. She has a special gift and energy. This community is fortunate to have her, as was I. Her treatments and support, no doubt, helped me stay both relaxed and focused while the hours passed. Sarah’s words and treatment were so welcome.”

“I have to say that pregnancy support from Sarah with acupuncture was an invaluable tool through my pregnancy and labor. I was not expecting the benefits that came from acupuncture, but it made my pregnancy much better!”
— EM, Bass Harbor ME
“Sarah provided acupuncture for my high blood pressure during my pregnancy and taught me to perform acupressure on my infant son for digestive issues. She is incredibly gentle and knowledgeable with her clients - parents and babies alike! Sarah’s calm nature and willingness to educate puts you at ears.”

“This was my first pregnancy and nothing prepared me for the level of constant nausea I felt well in to the second trimester. I tried every remedy I could think of and that people shared with me just to find some relief and get through the day. Working with Sarah was the respite I was hoping for. It gave me more of a break from the nausea and lasted longer than anything else I tried. It also served as a nourishing self-care practice at a time when that was so crucial. My pregnancy was a challenge from start to finish, but my daughter was born healthy and is now a thriving two year old. I consider Sarah part of the team that helped make that possible.”

“I am so thankful for Sarah and the acupuncture treatment I received during my pregnancy. I have always been a high risk pregnancy due to an irregular blood condition. With O, I knew I needed a c-section. With Sarah I was able to use acupuncture up until the day before he was born to support our health together. Pregnancy is a time when the gentle touch of acupuncture provides much welcomed support.”

“Sarah Tewhey is one of my miracle workers along with my midwife. She has helped me through two pregnancies and two births and now two postpartum periods. I suffer from pregnancy and postpartum anxiety and OCD and she has truly helped me. Every time I see Sarah I have a sense of calm and feel well cared for.”

“Sarah attended my birth in 2018. I was almost 42 weeks pregnant and although I was in labor, the contractions were sporadic and not very strong. Sarah gave me a little nudge with acupuncture, which was relaxing and pain free and best of all my contractions immediately became more intense. Our daughter was born only a few hours later. We were truly blessed to have her there to help us welcome our little one in to the world!”
