About Dr. Sarah

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 passionate about guiding you to feel fully alive.

I value an integrative approach to wellness weaving Science and Spirit, Medicine and Magic.

I am a Naturopathic Physician, Acupuncturist, Breathwork Facilitator, 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, everything ocean, sunshine, and bare feet.

I weave threads from Functional Medicine, Chinese Medicine, Mindfulness, Magic, and Deep Connection to Mama Earth.

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.

Dr. Sarah Rothman – Patient Testimonials

Dr. Sarah is truly one of a kind. She knows just the right questions to ask and carefully listens to your answers with sincere concern and patience. My health has improved greatly over this past year because of her. Never in my life have I looked forward to going to a doctor's appointment as I do when my appointment is with Dr. Sarah because I know I will be well taken care of. Thank you Dr. Sarah.

— Josie D., Pacifica

Dr. Rothman is wonderful. I am new to naturopathic medicine, and Dr. Rothman is a patient resource. She is knowledgeable and has helpful and specific recommendations on ways to improve my diet and general health. What sets her apart is her sensitivity to her patients' needs — Dr. Rothman is generous with her time, always willing to listen and respond to my questions. She is a great asset to the community. I am so glad there is a naturopath here!

Before coming to see Dr. Sarah I felt like I had been going through menopause for the past eight years. Working with Dr. Sarah has changed my life. She is so compassionate and passionate about everything she does. She always takes the time to teach me what is going on in my body, and I feel empowered because I can actually understand what is going on with my hormones. She put me on Bio-identical Hormone Therapy along with some female balancing nutrients and herbs — and I feel like I did ten years ago. I finally feel like me again.

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 on Maui and in California.

I am also a Breathwork Facilitator, Public Speaker, and Retreat Leader, offering Wellness Talks, Breathwork Events, Global Wellness Retreats, and Breathwork Teacher Trainings for companies 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, mystery 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 (Midwives, Integrative MDs, Psychologists, Physical Therapists, Naturopathic Doctors, Acupuncturists and Energy Workers). 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 concerns, autoimmune processes, food and environmental sensitivities, and emotional balance to optimize the health of the body, mind, and spirit.

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 and Retreats 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.

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

My 9 year old daughter and I attended this retreat and it was definitely a 5 star experience! The authenticity of Sarah and Julia opened us up right away to be able to enjoy all the pieces of the retreat fully. We were left with deep and meaningful connections, with the sense that a profound bonding had occurred between us. The facility was clean, comfortable, and friendly. The kitchen put out delicious food that even my picky eater enjoyed. I cannot express in a simple review exactly how special and wonderful this time we spent together was.

This is a totally high-integrity practice and I just can't speak highly enough about it. I have seen Dr. Sarah for a variety of things, from walking pneumonia to food sensitivities to well-woman care, and she is outstanding. A few years ago I had a terrifying experience at my regular OB/GYN and wound up unresponsive on the exam table. When I shared that with Dr. Sarah, she tailored my visit expertly — acupuncture, herbs to help calm me, and she was very gentle, calmly talking me through everything she was doing and making me a participant. Because of her, I'm no longer fearful at all. I have referred several friends here, and one was finally able to get to the bottom of her debilitating headaches. Another has had wonderful success with fertility support. This is an outstanding practice and I am so, so grateful.

This was one of the most magical, incredible, and memorable experiences of my life. Dr. Sarah Rothman brought so much to my life — it was truly lifechanging. I made lifelong friends and had a healing experience.

— Tamar A., Maui Ocean Retreat — Breathwork, Sound and Ocean Love, 2026

I was told about Dr. Sarah through a family friend since I wanted to try a more natural route and was tired of my old doctor not listening to my concerns. I wanted someone who would really listen to me and not rush through my appointment. Boy were my prayers answered. Sarah always takes time to listen to me — never glancing at the clock, but giving me her 100% attention and taking notes. She has helped me with so many issues in life, and I always leave feeling so relaxed. Never in my life would I have seen myself trying acupuncture, but there I was laying on the table with my scented lavender eye pillow and ocean sounds in the background. I left feeling like a million bucks!
