My Story

I was told I wouldn’t walk again and that I shouldn’t have children, as my back couldn’t support a pregnancy.

I’m Sarah McCabe.

I’m a walking, talking, mum of three.

I’m a fully trained acupuncturist based in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.

I’ve been through a turbulent journey to get where I am today, physically and emotionally.

I want to share my skills and knowledge with you, showing you just how well our bodies and minds can be.

What I won’t do is pretend that it’s not a tough journey.  I’m real and honest but with a huge desire and belief in bringing hope, health and healing into the lives of anyone struggling.

I always wish someone had spoken encouragement and hope into my life after my accident, so here I am, wanting to bring this to anyone who needs an extra little sparkle of hope.

I’ve always been determined and I thank God for that. But I remember so clearly lying in my bed, terrified of moving any which way for the fear of the shooting pains hurtling through my body, making me scream in pain, and hearing my little baby crying needing lifted.  Having to turn to my husband, yet again, to ask him to get her. My head and heart were tortured.  I had so much to live for, but yet I didn’t know if I wanted to experience another day in that excruciating, debilitating pain.

The words of doctors and results from scans over the years swirling in my head,

“You’ll be in a wheelchair by the time you’re 30”

“Things are only going to get worse”

“You’ll loose strength”

“Degeneration”

What was the point of even trying to hope for the future?!

Then I stumbled across acupuncture.

 I found it changed something in me, it gave me a little bit of relief, it seemed to clear my head… in fact, enough to attempt to think about trying to come off some of my crazy meds.

Little by little as I dared to open my world again to movement and hope I started to believe in a brighter future.

Fast forwarding a huge amount of ups and downs, I was eventually in the place where I had the chance to study this literally life changing therapy.  Through a lot of pain at times, crazy stress and 3 years of hard studying I qualified in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture in 2016.
