The show

Press This Point is a podcast about the self-healing power of acupuncture points. In each short episode, host Sara Calabro explores one point — the conditions it can help with, how to find it, and instructions for performing acupressure. She also discusses how the ancient theory behind each point can be applied to modern life. You’ll walk away from every episode with a new drug-free tool for healing your body, mind, and spirit.

The host

Press This Point’s creator and host is Sara Calabro, an energy coach and acupuncturist who founded Element Coaching.

Sara discovered acupuncture after working as a healthcare business journalist. The experience of covering the pharmaceutical and medical-device industries provided an up-close look at mainstream medicine’s shortcomings and inspired her to explore other perspectives on health.

Upon graduating from Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York City, Sara practiced acupuncture privately and in community clinics throughout New York and Oregon. These clinical experiences highlighted a need for accessible resources about acupuncture. Sara created AcuTake, the first consumer acupuncture publication, to discuss acupuncture in a relatable way so that people can use it to improve their daily lives.

Now, over a decade after launching AcuTake, Sara is producing Press This Point in response to her patients’ and readers’ desire for acupuncture-inspired self-care tools.

In addition to her work on Press This Point and AcuTake, Sara has written about acupuncture for The Huffington Post, Acupuncture Today, GreenMedInfo, and others. She is the author of Acupuncture Matters and Heal Your Kids With Acupressure.
