Naturopathic Medicine & Acupuncture

Dr. Sarah Trotta, ND, LAc

Naturopathic Physician & Acupuncturist

Dr. Sarah Trotta is a Naturopathic Physician and Acupuncturist who believes deeply in the power of listening and meeting each patient exactly where they are. Her own journey with a life-altering autoimmune condition as a teenager led her to discover integrative medicine and inspired her to dedicate her career to helping others navigate complex health challenges.

She earned her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and Master of Science in East Asian Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, followed by a residency in naturopathic primary care and Five Element Acupuncture. Her residency training emphasized fertility, endocrinology, and complex chronic illness—areas that remain central to her practice today.

Collaboration is at the heart of Dr. Sarah’s approach. She enjoys working closely with other providers and specialists so her patients receive truly comprehensive care. She is especially passionate about supporting patients with chronic illness and autoimmunity, and helping individuals and families of all genders on their fertility and parenting journeys.

Areas of Focus: - Fertility support for all genders and family structures - Adjunctive prenatal and postpartum care - Gender-affirming care, including hormone management and wellness exams - Complex chronic illness: MCAS, POTS, dysautonomia, autoimmunity, chronic infections, long COVID, chronic fatigue, and gastrointestinal conditions - Pelvic pain, menstrual irregularities, and dysmenorrhea - Functional medicine: advanced lab analysis, nutritional counseling, botanical and homeopathic medicine, and pharmaceutical management when needed

Hands-On Modalities:

Dr. Sarah is also trained in a number of therapeutic bodywork techniques, each chosen for their ability to gently support the body’s innate wisdom and healing capacity: - Acupuncture - Arvigo Techniques of Mayan Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT)® - Holistic Pelvic Care™ (a version of pelvic floor physical therapy) - Craniosacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Integrative Visceral Techniques
