🌿 A Lifetime Shaped by Traditional Chinese Medicine

Sarah Clark’s journey into acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began long before her formal training. Growing up in a family immersed in TCM, guided by her mother, Lily Shwe-yin Clark, a respected acupuncturist who established her UK practice in the 1970s, Sarah has been surrounded by this healing tradition since childhood.

This early exposure shaped not only her understanding of health and wellbeing, but also her deep appreciation for the wisdom, philosophy and clinical precision that underpin TCM.

Today, Sarah brings more than 16 years of clinical experience, advanced academic training, and a compassionate, whole-person approach to her work with patients across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and North-West London.

🌿 Our Clinical Philosophy: Treating the Whole Person

At the heart of Sarah’s practice is a simple, timeless philosophy:

Health becomes possible when we understand the body as a unified, dynamic whole. When regulation returns, the body’s innate healing processes reawaken; easing symptoms, resolving disorder, preventing illness, and supporting each system back into its natural rhythm of optimal function

This belief guides every treatment plan. Using acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutritional guidance and lifestyle support, Sarah works to:

  • understand the root pattern of imbalance

  • support the body’s natural self-regulating mechanisms

  • improve long-term wellbeing

  • create meaningful and lasting change

Her approach is gentle, thoughtful and responsive, ensuring each patient feels heard, supported and empowered.


🌿 Sarah’s Specialist Treatment Area: Fertility & Reproductive Health

While Sarah treats a wide range of general health conditions, she has developed a respected special interest in fertility, reproductive health and hormonal balance.

Her postgraduate training in fertility, gynae and obstetrics and membership in the Acupuncture Fertility Network reflect her ongoing study in:

  • Unexplained infertility

  • Preconception care

  • Assisted conception support (IVF, IUI, ICSI, FET)

  • PCOS

  • Endometriosis

  • Ovulatory and menstrual disorders

  • Recurrent miscarriage

  • Male fertility and sperm quality

Sarah’s work in this area is rooted not only in clinical expertise but in her belief that fertility treatment should be compassionate, comprehensive and deeply personalised.

She is also a regular speaker at The Fertility Show in London, sharing insights into the role of acupuncture and TCM in modern fertility care.
