Sara Gerdes, Ph.D.
I spent much of my life in California learning about the biological sciences. I earned a B.S. degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from California State University Stanislaus. I went on to earn a Ph.D. in Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics from University of California, Los Angeles. My thesis work focused on the genetic mechanisms responsible for bacterial communication and biofilm formation. Since leaving academics I have worked as a microbiologist in several laboratories doing biotechnology research and manufacturing quality control.
In 2010, I experienced some major life changes including the birth of my amazing daughter and a very serious medical diagnosis for myself. As I got accustomed to my new role of mother and recovered medically, I found myself both grateful for traditional medical support and frustrated by its' limitations. I started incorporating more natural, non-traditional treatment modalities to facilitate better healing for myself. During this time, I trained in the use of essential oils for both physical and emotional concerns.
I have now refocused my career on energy medicine. In particular, I am interested in how our emotional, physical and energetic health are intertwined. I feel very lucky to have started training in energy medicine with Wendy Schoeppner in late 2018. I am a Reiki Master, a certified practitioner of Emotion Code energy healing, trained in Soul Contract Reading, and a Blue Mist Healing Practitioner. I combine all my skills to help address issues including: lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus, chronic fatigue, arthritis, digestive issues, chronic pain, sensory sensitivity, anxiety, business growth and personal development. I believe that each healing journey is unique and that every person has the ability to grow and create a life that makes them happy and fulfilled. I work with clients of all ages and am honored to use my skills to help my clients lead happier, healthier lives.
