Testimonials
Dr. Sara has been immensely helpful in addressing a variety of concerns. From acupuncture for a complex muscle injury to lifestyle and supplement counseling, her approach has always been practical and highly personalized. She listened -- really listened -- to my goals for managing seasonal allergies, improving my sleep quality and navigating considerations unique to women's health. Her recommendations and the answers to the dozens of questions I've asked have all been supported by medical science and proven results. Trusting Dr. Sara is not only easy, but has resulted in far better outcomes than I had with other practitioners.~ B.B.

Dr. Sara at Meadow Hill Wellness in Annapolis is truly exceptional! As the owner and practitioner, she provided me with outstanding treatment for my chronic insomnia using a combination of acupuncture and functional medicine. Her approach was highly effective, significantly reducing my anxiety and helping me achieve deeper, more restful sleep which made a huge difference in my life. What's more, they work with insurance providers, making the services more accessible. I highly recommend Meadow Hill Wellness to anyone struggling with sleep issues or seeking holistic wellness solutions. It's a true gem in the Annapolis community! ~ I. Y.
Meadow Hill is fantastic. Kate has been extremely helpful in easing my lower back and shoulder pain. Treatments also help with overall stress reduction. This was an experiment for me, as I was a non-believer. Acupuncture is legit. Especially when working with an expert like Kate. If you're experiencing pain or fatigue this is for you. ~J.S.
Zoey is wonderful! She has such a calming presence and every session she is committed to understanding where I’m at and where I’d like support before jumping in. Her kind demeanor creates an atmosphere of relaxation and care. Highly recommend! ~ L.T.
My journey began with Meadow Hill Wellness over five years ago. I turned to acupuncture to help relieve the stress of a new baby and life that were now manifesting into physical ailments. I was in my lower 30’s morbidly obese, chronic fatigue, body aches and high blood pressure. During the years, I have lost weight, changed my eating habits, which in turn has reversed my high blood pressure, fatigue, and body aches. I have been seeing Doctor Sara now for over a year and she has been wonderful in many ways. I go into my acupuncture appointment and feel that my needs are listened to. I leave the appointments feeling calmer and less stress headed into the days ahead. When I first started seeing Dr. Sara my anxiety was at an all time high and I was having panic attacks. I was taking Lorazepam for my panic attacks, as I felt out of control. With the help of Dr. Sara, I very rarely use in the moment medicine and am able to function. We would talk weekly about my progress and what occurred, and she was able to help with solutions. She has wonderful listening ear and has the magic touch with the needles that go in painless. T.E.
“So thankful for this calming influence during my journey through fertility treatments to a joyful pregnancy!”

“I always feel better when I leave Meadow Hill than when I arrive, and it all has to do with the staff and the quality care I receive. I have suffered from migraines for nearly 20 years and almost no medications have helped.
I went to Meadow Hill as a last resort, having heard good things about acupuncture. Acupuncture has changed my life when it comes to these debilitating headaches. I was nervous about getting stuck with needles, but Sara made it painless and easy. She explained the process, how the needles work, and that we could adjust treatment if I felt pain.
Since I started treatment, I’ve gone from having 3-4 migraines a month to 1-2 every three months, and that is amazing! The staff is always accommodating to my schedule and they give me top notch care. I highly recommend Meadow Hill to all anyone who suffers from chronic pain or stress.
I really look forward to my treatments as they give me a time to relax and find some peace in my hectic life.”

“I was introduced to Sara Poldmae and acupuncture in September of 2006, and I have been so excited about taking care of my health since my first appointment! I have been treated for numerous things: acid reflux, fibroids, colds, menopause. Each time I have had relief and felt great after! I am also taking fish oil now and highly recommend it!
The thing I am most excited about is how much better I feel—there is an overall energy and wellness feeling I have inside. It has improved my inner core so much. It has helped me with feelings of depression, tiredness and fatigue. I have had less colds and flu.
Did I mention how much more energy I have!!!? This has had lasting effects for me. I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their health and well being.”

“I have been coming to Meadow Hill Wellness for 6 months and know that it has been one of the most important things that supports the capacity for my body healing. I have a connective tissue disorder and acupuncture with Sara and massage therapy with Cat have been phenomenally beneficial both physically and mentally.
I have such a strong feeling of well being after my work with all of the wonderful staff at MHW! I strongly recommend Meadow Hill Wellness!”

“We love coming here. Sara takes great care to help my husband's back pain. Acupuncture really does the job to manage his pain.”

“Some of you may have heard me say from time to time that Sara saved my life. I struggled with a number of health related issues for a while. She diagnosed my gluten intolerance and helped me adjust my diet, which made a huge difference in my energy level and overall health in so many ways. I think she is an expert practitioner for it. This has been extremely important to my quality of life.
More importantly, she has helped me survive menopause. While many of my friends and peers are fanning and braking out into sweats in public and at inconvenient times. Acupuncture treatments from Sara relieved my hot flashes and my night sweats.
My mood swings are under control as well. As most of you know I have been through a great deal. Menopausal women all over the country find themselves divorced and completely fall apart emotionally. I was able to stay strong and sane throughout my separation and divorce. I owe Sara and Meadow Hill a great deal of gratitude for all of it.
During a treatment last week (and many other times) I could feel the stress drain from my body. My face and shoulders loosened and a sweet peace came over me. I know this sounds corny, but it is my truth.”
