Meet Sarah Hayes, LAc
Owner/Founder
For more than 21 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for patients through acupuncture and Chinese medicine. In that time, I’ve provided more than 80,000 treatments, and I still genuinely love what I do.
I always say that taking care of people is what I was put on this earth to do. I love getting to know my patients, understanding what’s getting in the way of them feeling their best, and figuring out how we can move them forward.
People come to me for all kinds of reasons: pain, injuries, headaches, anxiety, stress, sleep issues, digestive problems, hormonal changes, fatigue, and sometimes simply because they don’t feel like themselves. While relieving symptoms is important, I’m always looking at the bigger picture. What else is going on? What could be contributing? And what can we do to help the body function and heal better?
My approach is practical and results-focused, but it’s also deeply personal. I want my patients to feel heard, cared for, and confident they have a plan. There is nothing better than watching someone who has been hurting, frustrated, or limited by their health start feeling like themselves again.
Over the years, my work has also expanded beyond acupuncture. After seeing again and again how profoundly nutrition can affect inflammation, energy, metabolism, pain, and overall health, I co- created Next Level Nutrition, our personalized nutrition program designed to help people understand which foods work best for their individual bodies and build a healthier foundation for the long term.
After more than two decades in practice, I still believe something very simple: life is better when you feel good in your body. Helping people get there is the work I love most

I highly recommend Acupuncture Northwest!! Sarah Hayes helped me get back to running after being sidelined for 3 months with IT Band Syndrome. She knew exactly where to focus and I felt incredible relief after our first session. Fast forward 4 weeks and I'm running again. She is a great listener and really cares about my goals. I'm grateful to have Sarah as part of my regular routine from here on out!

Sarah Hayes and Acupuncture Northwest have been game changers for me. I came to Sarah with acute back pain from an injury which she worked on through acupuncture and herbs. This not only got rid of the back pain but also addressed other symptoms of inflammation in my body. Sarah is an amazing practitioner who is a great listener and offers a lot of choice. I really appreciate that we are partnering to work on my health goals whether it is better sleep and digestion to regulating mood and hormones. I highly recommend acupuncture northwest!

I started going to Sara in early February as I was going though some challenging times in my 80-year-old life. Along with asking for help dealing with some difficult emotional issues, I asked for help with sleep as I have had a sleep disorder for many years. It is now mid-May and with Sara's help my sleep has improved dramatically and the emotional issues have become manageable. I think this is the first review of any kind I have ever written. This may speak to you as to how much I want to recommend Sara to you.
