Dr. Sarah Hammer Stevens is the acupuncturist behind To The Point Seminars —a program built for licensed acupuncturists who are tired of being left out of the dry needling conversation (and tired of pretending they don’t already know what they’re doing with a needle).

With over a decade of experience and a thriving Portland clinic, To The Point PDX, Dr. Sarah has treated thousands of patients, trained acupuncturists across the country, and somehow figured out how to run a business, write course curriculum, and occasionally remember to put her kids in the car—with shoes on.

She didn’t set out to create seminars —but after one too many “Wait, can you even do dry needling?” moments, she decided enough was enough. To The Point Seminars is her answer: a certification that gives acupuncturists the skills, language, and confidence to say, “Yes, I do dry needling—and am better than any other provider at it.”

She can map trigger point referral patterns in her sleep, but don’t ask her to locate Du 1 without a cheat sheet. Seriously. (See below bout that one time she tried to explain Ren/Du points on Conan).
