Founded by Sarah Jacobs & Urszula Dragowska, Lotus House began as a small community clinic with a big vision. Inspired by the profound benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Sarah and Urszula sought to create a space where patients could experience comprehensive, compassionate care.
Sarah and Urszula first met in 2001 while studying Traditional Chinese Medicine at the International College of TCM in Vancouver. Their core teacher, Dr. Liu Fang, paired them as study partners in their first year, sparking a friendship that quickly grew into a strong professional bond.
In 2005, Sarah moved to the Sunshine Coast and opened her first clinic.…in her greenhouse in Roberts Creek! As her practise grew, she joined Dr. Linda Ward and invited Urszula to come and join professionally together to expand the clinic’s offerings. Bonded by friendship, a shared passion for acupuncture and TCM, and a love for coastal life, Sarah and Urszula founded Lotus House Acupuncture & TCM Clinic in 2006.
Sarah and Urszula have built a thriving practice with a shared vision of providing exceptional patient care while supporting each other in their dreams of raising their families on the Sunshine Coast.

At Lotus House, we embrace a traditional approach to health, grounded in the observation of nature and an understanding of the body’s natural rhythms. Guided by the classical principles, we view the human body as a reflection of the natural world—an interconnected system constantly seeking balance and harmony.
Acupuncture is a medicine of flow—supporting circulation and the body’s vital energy to promote overall well-being. Through gentle techniques such as acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and gua sha, we aim to restore healthy circulation and assist the body in its natural self-regulating abilities.
While rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, our practice collaborates with complementary health professionals and Western medical care to support a holistic, integrative approach to support your health.
Classically trained practitioners in practices of acupuncture, moxabustion and traditional chinese medicine herbalism. Dedicated to bringing classical health principles, practises and wisdom to provide personalized health care at our clinic.
Urszula began her training at UBC where she completed a BA in Cultural Anthropology. Her interest in healing led her to study Traditional Chinese Medicine. She pursued her studies at the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Vancouver and the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Victoria where she completed a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diploma. Having completed her formal studies in Canada, Urszula traveled to China for eight months where she interned at several Traditional Chinese Medicine Universities. She continues to study with her mentors.
Sarah’s passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine was sparked during her year travelling Asia and India where she experienced traditional healing therapies such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Vipasana meditaiton, Reiki, Acupuncture and Thai Massage. Inspired to study holistic medicine with ancient and philosophical roots, Traditional Chinese Medicine was a natural fit for Sarah and upon her return to Canada, she began her Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine training at the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver, BC. After graduating Sarah interned at the Guangxi TCM University Hospital in Nanning, China and continues to train and study with mentors and teachers from all over the world. She is a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner licensed in both acupuncture and herbs and a graduate of Simon Fraser University (BA)

Curious about what makes Lotus House unique? Here are answers to some common questions:
Most clients experience minimal discomfort during acupuncture. Our registered acupuncturists tailor each session to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease.
Acupuncture helps restore the balance of energy (Qi) within the body by stimulating specific points on energy lines known as meridians in the body. This promotes natural healing, reduces pain, and improves overall wellness.
During your initial session, you will receive a thorough health assessment followed by a personalized treatment plan. Our practitioners will explain the process, answer your questions, and ensure you feel comfortable throughout the session at our clinic.
The number of sessions varies based on individual needs and conditions. Some clients experience relief after a few treatments, while others may benefit from ongoing sessions for chronic conditions or optimal health maintenance.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches stress and anxiety while treating the pattern by addressing imbalances in the body’s energy. Techniques such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary guidance work together to restore harmony and promote relaxation.
