Sara Calabro is AcuTake‘s founding editor. The publication was created based on her experience as an acupuncturist, writer and photography lover.
In studying and practicing acupuncture, Sara realized a role model for changes in how we think about health: Effective, yet simple, safe and low-cost, acupuncture addresses many of the complexities that plague our overburdened healthcare system, and afflict our bodies and minds. Sara started AcuTake with the goal of improving access to acupuncture by growing awareness of all it has to teach us.
Sara discovered acupuncture by way of journalism. For 10 years she worked as a healthcare business journalist, covering the pharmaceutical and medical-device industries. Her journalism career took her from healthcare reporter for PRWeek to managing editor for Pharmaceutical Executive to editor-in-chief for Medical Technology Investment Digest (and many places in between). The experience, while inspiring at times, provided an up-close look at modern medicine’s shortcomings and made her curious about other approaches to healthcare.
Upon graduating from Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York City, Sara founded a low-cost clinic in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and was on staff at Manhattan’s busiest community acupuncture clinic. Board-certified and licensed in New York and Oregon, Sara currently practices acupuncture and runs AcuTake from Eugene, Oregon. She is a contributing writer for Acupuncture Today and the author of Acupuncture Matters.
