It’s a pleasure to meet you!
Hi, I’m Sarah Swanberg.
I’m an acupuncturist, business owner, speaker and coach. I’m also a mom, wife, sister and friend. I’m a dreamer and a doer.
From a very young age, I’ve walked to the beat of my own drummer. I was born and raised in New Rochelle, NY, a suburb of NYC, into a family of entrepreneurs. I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I knew it wouldn’t be your typical desk job.
I started my career in the world of TV and commercial visual effects, and somehow ended up as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine. (Somehow= lots and lots and lots of school.) I like art, science, mysteries, solving puzzles and helping people and I am lucky enough to have figured out how to turn all of that into a career.
I started my acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine practice in 2015 and quickly realized that I missed the “buzz” of working alongside other likeminded people. I dreamed of working in a practice full of other providers interested in truly helping people heal. Sadly, there were no opportunities to do that where I lived. So, I built my dream practice!
In just a few short years, Indigo Wellness Group has grown to include 12 (and counting!) other providers in fields including acupuncture, nutrition, pelvic floor physical therapy and holistic aesthetics.
I’m also a mom to 2 spunky girls and two fur babies, a wife to a creative powerhouse, a sister, daughter and up-for-anything friend. I’ve navigated my fair share of tricky life things, including chronic illness with a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes at age 7. Despite being an “alternative” health provider, I’m also incredibly grateful for the western medical tools that help me live a full and vibrant life.
I truly love helping people, both in my “day job” as an acupuncturist and clinical director at Indigo Wellness Group, and outside of that as a speaker and coach.
Alongside my sister and IWG co-founder Carolyn Brown, I work with employers and corporations to deliver engaging and informative Workplace Wellness talks and workshops. We believe that businesses are only as healthy as their team members, and all of our talks provide actionable take-aways to help employees feel their best.
I also love supporting entrepreneurs in the wellness space figure out how to start practices and achieve their business goals. I use my years of bootstrap, DIY experience (mistakes and all) to help create sustainable, achievable plans for business success. I’ll be your sounding board, your cheerleader, and mentor.
I can’t wait to watch you make magic!
