Sara Raby, Ac

Acupuncturist & Founder

Sara Raby completed her acupuncture training at Collège de Rosemont and went on to complete a clinical internship at Zhejiang International Hospital in China. She has been practicing with rigor and dedication since 2011.

Her clinical approach is distinguished by her ability to adapt to each individual’s condition and goals, while maintaining a coherent, integrative therapeutic framework. She combines medical knowledge with extensive clinical experience, particularly in women’s health, digestive and nervous system disorders, as well as musculoskeletal pain and sports injuries.

Curious and committed to lifelong learning, she continues to deepen her practice. She has also contributed to the evolution of the profession through her involvement with the Ordre des acupuncteurs du Québec.

From a young age, I have been passionate about nature and the connections that link us to others and to the living world. My travels and encounters with diverse healing traditions have nurtured my interest in accessible, coherent, and sustainable approaches to care.

After training in clinical Western herbalism, I pursued university studies in philosophy, sociology, and anthropology—disciplines that deeply shaped my understanding of the body, health, and society.

Choosing acupuncture was a way to participate in a movement toward more equitable, sustainable, and life-respecting care. This vision led me to create La Lignée.

During my psychology studies, I realized I wanted a more proactive approach, oriented toward concrete solutions. This desire for action led me to change my professional path.

It was during this time that I discovered acupuncture through a profoundly transformative experience: just a few sessions were enough to relieve significant discomfort, in a lasting way. I was completely amazed.

This encounter sparked a passion for Chinese medicine, which led me to Toronto to train in acupuncture. Three years later, I am back in Quebec, driven by the desire to share this knowledge and contribute to the well-being of my community.
