About Mark Sagato

Mark began his journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine at the age of 12 after being introduced to qi gong through his first teacher. He was immediately fascinated with the concept of acupuncture and it was clear to him that this was his calling. At 19 years old he began his formal education in this medicine, studying tui na, a traditional form of Chinese therapy focusing on structural and musculoskeletal issues, under Bill Helm.

He later went on to receive a four-year master's degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine from Yo San University. There, he focused on working with mental health through acupuncture.   

After receiving his Master’s degree, Mark continued his education, undertaking an intensive program of study in Classical Medicine. This allowed him to hone his ability to treat chronic and complicated health issues. 

Chinese medicine is truly Mark’s passion and mission in life. His goal is to help as many people as he can transform their health naturally and to completely shift how we view healthcare.
