Dr. Sarah Larson
Naturopathic Doctor/Master of Science in Oriental Medicine/Licensed Acupuncturist
Passionate about helping patients improve their health by offering a wide range of Naturopathic, Chinese and traditional Western medicine treatment options, Dr. Sarah Larson (she/her/hers) believes helping patients regain optimal health and well-being requires both the empathetic listening to and observing of each individual; “one size fits all” does not apply. She relies upon appropriate conventional testing, labs and imaging alongside Eastern pulse, tongue and countenance diagnostic techniques to arrive at the correct diagnosis and to then provide the most efficacious and beneficial treatment options. The utilization of Western and Chinese herbs, pharmaceutical medications, acupuncture, hydrotherapy and lifestyle and dietary optimization are all part of a large tool box from which she builds individualized and achievable treatment plans while consistently following the latest research.
Dr. Larson embraces the belief that following the healing course of nature will help return each patient to a state of health and well-being when given the appropriate assistance, time and space to do so. A reduction in inflammation, improved nutrition and digestion, proper sleep and exercise are all important aspects to improving one’s state of health.
Dr. Larson graduated from the National University of Natural Medicine with a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine. Before starting her own practice, she completed a two-year residency approved by the Council of Naturopathic Medicine under the supervision of Dr. Edythe Vickers at An Hao Natural Health Care Center in Portland, Oregon and also practiced with Dr. Linda Meloche at Abbey Road Clinic in Carlton, Oregon. Her undergraduate work in psychology was completed at the University of North Dakota, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Science with a pre-medicine emphasis.
As a primary care physician, Dr. Larson focuses on acute and chronic diseases, autoimmune conditions, acute and chronic pain and cancer as well as more common conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol. While in medical school, Dr. Larson completed an additional 2-year internship in women’s health and offers exceptional health care services such as female wellness and annual examinations, hormone testing and balancing, birth control education and prescribing.
When she isn’t working, Dr. Larson savors time spent with her husband, family, friends and her two dogs. She enjoys hiking, road biking, being outdoors near or on the water or simply exploring both Oregon and Washington’s breathtaking natural beauty.

Coco Bailey
Esthetician
Coco Bailey graduated from The Aesthetics Institute of Portland in June 2023. After graduation, she became licensed as an aesthetician in both Oregon and Washington.
Coco grew up dancing competitively which resulted in heavy makeup worn for hours at a time. The makeup tended to mix with sweat and successive reapplications were a part of competitive dance. Coco found this makeup regimen combined with the changing hormones of young adulthood resulted in acne starting around the age of nine. Eventually, she started seeing a dermatologist and achieved clearer skin.
She has always loved learning about skincare and the science behind all professional skincare products and the reasons skincare products can be beneficial. After teaching dance for several years, Coco decided she wanted to explore a long-held passion of hers and enrolled in aesthetics school.
At Emerge, Coco specializes in facials, dermaplaning, lash extensions, lash/brow tint, lash lifts, and brow laminations Coco loves providing customized facials because she can decide with the client what will help them most and to also create a home care skin plan best suited to each client.
While not at work, you can usually find Coco spending time with her family, her boyfriend and his kids, and their two kitties. Coco enjoys watching movies, reading books, dancing, and exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
