Meet the Practitioner
Dr. Savannah Sapodin, L.Ac
Savannah is a licensed acupuncturist in the State of New York and a graduate of the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture, where she trained in classical Five Element acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbal medicine. She also holds a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (DAcCHM) from the Pacific College of Health and Science.
Savannah has earned her certificate in Facial Rejuvenation, which includes cosmetic acupuncture, facial cupping, and facial gua sha, studying with Michelle Gellis. Savannah is also currently studying techniques with Kiiko Matsumoto.
Savannah blends Classical Five Element Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese medicine to benefit her clients in the best way possible. This means spending sincere time with each client, listening to what the client expresses, hearing what is expressed without words, and supporting the inherent nature of each person with acupuncture. Her treatments touch upon the spirit, mind, and body, to support whole self healing.
Savannah spent multiple years across seas working on various permaculture farms and learning about native methods of healing naturally. Some of these places included Nepal, India, Japan, and Costa Rica. She has traveled throughout China, learning about the culture and the medicine she has come to practice here in the United States.
Savannah grew up on Long Island, and is a long time devotee to finding the hidden gems of nature on this lovely part of the world. Her love for the outdoors nourishes her acupuncture practice as the elements and patterns of nature are her greatest teacher.
Savannah is also a certified yoga instructor as well as a certified group fitness instructor and certified Zumba instructor. She loves to dance, groove, sing, and share her voice with the communities within which she finds herself.
