Folk Garden Uptown
The Birth COLLECTIVE
Folk Garden Uptown is a collaborative wellness space in St. Augustine, located in the former home of the Birth Collective and now home to Dr. Sarah Karsmarski’s established acupuncture and Chinese medicine practice. Rooted in the belief that health is supported through connection, to ourselves, to one another, and to our community, Folk Garden brings together independent practitioners, private care, small-group experiences, education, and community programming in one warm, welcoming space.
Dr. Sarah offers individualized acupuncture and Chinese medicine with a focus on women’s health, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum care, pain, mental health, migraines, stress, digestive concerns, and general wellness. Alongside private treatment, the practice offers small-group acupuncture, pregnancy and birth-preparation support, women’s health programming, auricular acupuncture, and seasonal wellness offerings.
Folk Garden is home to a growing group of practitioners offering massage and bodywork, biofield and shockwave therapy, IFS-informed trauma coaching, occupational therapy, sound, and meditation. Alongside private care, we’re creating space for small groups, guest speakers, community gatherings, and environmental programs as the collective continues to grow.
Our belief is simple: health starts with us and extends into our relationships, our community, and the environment around us.

What You Can Expect with Dr. Sarah
Your first visit is a little more in-depth. We’ll go through your health history, what’s been going on recently, and what you’re hoping to get out of treatment so care is aligned with your goals and tailored to your needs. This helps guide how we approach your sessions moving forward and ensures treatment stays relevant to what your body is going through.
From there, sessions are more focused and streamlined. Most visits include a brief check-in followed by treatment, where you’ll rest comfortably in a quiet, private room for about 30 to 45 minutes. As care continues, we make adjustments based on how you respond, so each session supports your progress and meets you where you are in the moment.
