Sarah McClure

Sarah is also an experienced herbalist and welcomes client interest in herbal and dietary approaches to treatment and management of complications that may arise during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Sarah came to Oregon thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and knew as soon as she laid eyes on Mt Hood that she had to make the Pacific Northwest her home. She speaks Spanish and spends a lot of time watching telenovelas over a bowl of ultra-salty popcorn. She’s a huge musical theater nerd and never tires of talking about Anne of Green Gables, one of her childhood heroes.
