Dr. Sarah Noseworthy is an Oregon-licensed, Board Certified Naturopathic Physician and Acupuncturist. She created Spire Holistic Health with the belief that unmanaged chronic stress is the underlying reason for most health symptoms to occur. Chronic stress disrupts the neuroendocrine system and leads to break down. Stressors in your environment, combined with vulnerabilities in your body, shift your body’s protective ability into something more destructive. When that happens, your body needs additional support to get back on track. Dr. Sarah is proud to be that additional support and guide in her patient’s journey of wellness.
