Naturopathic Doctor Sarah Rothman

Aloha and Welcome! I look forward to meeting you. I am so honored to work with you on your healing path and to serve you, however I can. I am a Naturopathic Physician, Acupuncturist, Breathwork Facilitator and Teacher Trainer, and Mama of two. I am a lover of the ocean, the trees, neon green moss after the rain, writing songs with my guitar, the medicine in plants, flowers, and food, deep connection, giggles, sunshine, and bare feet.

I value an integrative approach to wellness and am passionate about guiding you to feel fully alive. I weave threads from Functional medicine, Chinese medicine, Mindfulness, Magic, and Deep Connection.

I encourage you to take an active role in your health and honor your body's innate ability to heal.

Healing in all its forms ignites me. It is alchemy.

I am honored to bear witness to it daily, in myself and in all the amazing humans I have met on this journey.

Practice

I am a Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor in California, Hawaii, and British Columbia and a Nationally Licensed Acupuncturist. I am currently offering patient visits through telemedicine for those near and far and in person in Maui and in California.

I am also a Breathwork Facilitator and Teacher Trainer, Public Speaker and Retreat Leader. I offer Wellness Talks, Breathwork Events, Retreats, and Breathwork Facilitator Trainings for groups and programs around the globe.

My Clinical background includes extensive training in Women's Health, Cyclical Wisdom, Thyroid and Hormone Balance, Digestive Health and Mind Body Medicine. I believe that how we choose to nourish and move our bodies is integral to overall health. I believe strongly in the power of food as medicine, the potency of plants, living in right relation with the land and the waters, and the importance of mindfulness, breath, and connection as essential for wellness.

I founded and was Medical Director at Thyme Integrative Health, an Integrative Health Clinic in Northern California for over a decade, where I brought together many amazing Integrative Practitioners (Psychologists, Integrative MDs, Midwives, Physical Therapists, Naturopathic Doctors, and Acupuncturists). I have mentored several other Naturopathic Doctors and Acupuncturists over the years and LOVE to teach and collaborate. And ALWAYS, I consider myself a student, and am forever curious and passionate about expanding my learning, wisdom, and experience in the layers and complexities of healing, wellness, and the human experience.

I have also spent time doing some Clinical work abroad in countries such as Bolivia, where I trained in pediatric and women's clinics and hospitals, and Kenya, where I worked with patients and physicians in rural natural health and homeopathic clinics.

I am passionate about Women's Health and Cyclical Wisdom and gently guiding people to live as healthily and happily as their potential through education, empowerment, and deep connection with Body, Spirit, and Earth. My teenage daughter and I co- founded a project called My Moon Kit- first period ritual kits for girls with a mission to empower and prepare young girls, turn cycle shame into celebration, and stigma into ritual. I love working with women around fertility, throughout pregnancy, and during the postnatal period with both Acupuncture and Naturopathic Medicine. I am a Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM), a group of internationally recognized Acupuncturists and other Integrative Doctors in the field. Another area of focus is Thyroid Health, including Hashimoto's, Inflammatory Thyroiditis, and Hypothyroid and Hyperthyroid imbalances. I am a certified WTS Doctor (AARM) and will work with you to optimize body temperature and thyroid function through nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and various forms of thyroid hormone medication as needed. Connecting Throat and Womb has been a huge part of my journey, my practice, and it's my jam to share it with Women and Girls. As well, I am fascinated by the Gut- it is often the foundation and starting place, so I work with a wide array of digestive troubles, autoimmune processes, food and environmental sensitivities, sleep health, and emotional balance to optimize the health of the body, mind, and spirit.

Really, I work with YOU as a complex, fascinating, and whole person.

I hold strong value in bringing health, wellness, and mindfulness into community and into the workplace. Healing and wellness are magnified in groups, and I am passionate about facilitating Medicine Circles of many kinds. I have led numerous in person and online Breathwork and Meditation sessions and Facilitator Trainings for several Companies, Institutions, and Private Retreats around the world, including Robinhood, Maze Therapeutics, The Bay School San Francisco, and many others.
