Founder and President
The founder of YogaMedics is Sarah Fink. Her vision is to revolutionize healthcare as we know it. YogaMedics is aligning the incentives of physicians, patients, insurers, employers, and families. Its cutting edge method of healing helps people who have not YET been able to recover.
After earning her Masters of Public Health from the University of Michigan, Sarah, a longtime yoga enthusiast, served as the Director of Strategic Development for the Michigan Health and Hospital Association. In the midst of working with hospitals, insurance agencies, and studying current health care trends, she saw the need for medical programs to truly provide holistic health and simultaneously address the mental, physical, and emotional impacts of injury and illness.
Her beliefs that the integration of yoga and evidence based medicine could help people not only recover physically, but also find the confidence and internal strength to achieve overall health and wellness, fueled the creation of YogaMedics.
Sarah has been practicing yoga for more than ten years and has been a certified teacher for the last five years. Sarah holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Kalamazoo College, where she studied psychology with a focus on behavioral interventions. She earned a Masters of Public Health degree from the University of Michigan, with a dual focus in Health Behavior and Education and Health Management and Policy.
