Mental & Emotional Health

Modern life is full of stressors, and many of us encounter significant trauma that impacts the way we respond to stimuli in our environment.  Acupuncture and herbal medicine excel at bringing the nervous system back into the parasympathetic state, helping to ground your spirit and soothe frayed nerves.  Sage operates from a harm reduction framework, providing compassionate care while meeting each patient where they are.  She works with people who would like to avoid mood stabilizing medications, those who choose to take them, as well as those who transition off of them in collaboration with their prescribing doctors.  Traditional Chinese Medicine can also address the side effects of psychiatric medications such as night sweats, digestive upset, and sexual dysfunction.

Some, but not all conditions that are treated by Sage Staggs:

  • Stress

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Panic attacks

  • Insomnia

“Sage is an incredible acupuncturist and healer. She is attentive, engaged, calming, and supportive. Her treatments and supplements have helped tremendously with anxiety and acne. I always walk out of her office feeling like a weight has lifted off of my shoulders. Highly recommend her!”
