Dr. Sarah Murphy Hi! I'm a naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist and creator of The Burnout Recovery Method. For me, work-life balance is key. I’m here for you!

☀️ Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD) with 20+ years of experience specializing in Detox, Hormones and Longevity. 🌿 Root-cause Care. 👗 Sustainable Fashion Advocate

🏆 Voted Best in Malibu, California | Doctor of the Year

💛 linktr.ee/drsarahmurphy I’m Dr. Sarah Murphy, ND and I'm passionate about helping artists and professionals reignite their energy, rekindle their creativity, and live truly satisfied! I’m also the founder of Zuma Wellness in Malibu, California, and the creator and host of the Are You Satisfied? podcast, where my guests and I explore the intersections of burnout, balance, creative joy and fulfillment, and all things natural healing. I love working with clients and patients internationally via my online telehealth platform. And I’m super excited about the upcoming launch of my Burnout Recovery Method online group program. I was honored to be named Naturopathic Doctor of the Year 2017 by the California Naturopathic Doctors Association and voted Malibu’s Best Naturopathic Doctor 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 in the Malibu Choice Awards. The peace and tranquility I have found making magical Malibu my home base is a source of great inspiration to me personally and to my work. I love walking my talk and teaching others how they can do the same in order to live their best lives. When I’m not working with patients or walking the beautiful beaches of Southern California with my puppy, Prince, you might spot me jumping out of an airplane (26 times and counting!) or out salsa, tango, swing, or - my latest favorite - blues dancing. I also love hiking on new trails because nature is awesome, globe-trotting around the world because there’s so much to see on this planet, and trying new adventurous activities (archery, anyone?). I have found that, when we learn to care for ourselves and truly heal from burnout, then so much more in life is possible. That’s why my greatest passion continues to be helping people return to a more balanced and healthy life path as they move towards unlimited whole health. I offer virtual and in-person consults through my private practice, and I’d be honored to help you along your healing journey.

The art of living well... Health is not merely the absence of illness—it is the quiet harmony between body, mind, and spirit. It is the rhythm of a heart that beats with purpose, the breath that fills the lungs with gratitude, and the mind that rests in peace even amidst life’s noise.

True health begins with awareness. It grows in the choices made each day—the food that nourishes, the movement that strengthens, the rest that restores, and the thoughts that uplift. It is found in laughter shared, in sunlight on the skin, in the stillness of morning, and in the courage to care for oneself with compassion.

Every heartbeat is a reminder of resilience. Every inhale, a chance to begin again. Health is not a destination but a lifelong journey—a gentle unfolding of balance, energy, and joy.

To live healthfully is to honor the miracle of being alive. It is to listen to the body’s whispers before they become cries, to nurture the mind with kindness, and to let the spirit dance freely in gratitude. In this harmony, beauty is born—not from perfection, but from presence. 💜💛🩵

Remembering the stunning beauty of Carbon Beach, Malibu as it was! ☀️ On this day, as we reflect on the anniversary of the Palisades fires that impacted so many of our lives… my thoughts are with everyone as they continue their recovery journey. 🌊 The pain is deep and real, and I know it lingers. Sending all my love and support to those navigating this path. ❤️

✨ I’m easing into 2026 with more slowness and presence. How about you?

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to forget the power of slowing down. Life has its natural rhythms, and when we allow ourselves to align with them, we open the door to deeper fulfillment and balance. 🌼

By embracing the slower pace of nature in this winter season, we can nurture our minds, bodies, and spirits. It’s in stillness that clarity emerges, and in trust that we find peace. 🌙

Let’s slow down, follow our hearts, and trust that things will fall into place. Let's cultivate a lifestyle that honors our well-being and embraces the gifts that come with being present. 💛

Inflammation—the chronic kind—is something you want to avoid at all costs. In fact, it plays a role in most chronic diseases, including big bads like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. Thankfully, there’s plenty you can do to prevent or counter this damaging process, including making different food choices. Here’s everything you need to know about how your diet affects your chronic inflammation risk—and what foods can help beat it back.

A simple leaf replaced a lifetime of plastic.

In Thailand, some supermarkets made a quiet yet powerful shift by abandoning plastic packaging altogether. Instead of synthetic wraps, they began using biodegradable banana leaves to package fresh fruits and vegetables—an age-old, natural solution revived for modern sustainability.

This small change created a big impact. Banana leaves decompose naturally, reduce waste instantly, and return to the earth without harm. By blending tradition with responsibility, these stores proved that innovation doesn’t always mean something new—sometimes, it means remembering what always worked best.

Are you taking care of YOU this holiday season? It’s a stressful time for a lot of people, from social demands to financial concerns to grief over those who aren’t with us.

So, let’s just take a minute to think about all the things we can do to maintain sanity and stay healthy, grounded and at peace through the holidays. 🙌 Here are a few ideas:

👉 Say No. You actually don’t have to do all the things that other people want you to do (even go to their parties!).

👉 Block Time for Yourself. Put times on the calendar when you’ll do what you need to do for YOU instead of everybody else.

👉 Donate or Volunteer. Giving to others can give you a sense of fulfillment and peace and put your own worries into perspective.

👉 Journal. Even if it’s just a sentence or two before your head hits the pillow, writing down your thoughts can be a powerful tool.

👉 Keep Your Routine. Stick with your exercise and other healthy habits to keep your body and mind resilient!

We’ve had a rough few years, and the holidays might make what’s bad feel even worse. I hope we can all find some joy in the small things and some gratitude where we least expect it. 💛

As Hanukkah soon comes to a close and Christmas draws near, we want to pause and offer a simple wish.

May this season bring moments of light, rest, and quiet connection. Whether you are lighting the last candles, decorating a tree, gathering with loved ones, or moving gently through a complicated time, we are holding space for you.

This time of year can carry joy, reflection, grief, gratitude, or all of it at once. Wherever you find yourself, we are thankful to walk alongside you. Thank you for trusting us with your care, your stories, and your health journey.

Wishing you warmth, steadiness, and nourishment in the days ahead, and a season that supports what you need most.

Happy Holidays from Zuma Wellness! 💛✨

🧪 What’s really going on in your body?

Did you know that, even when we do our best to live clean, eat well, and do “everything right” — our bodies are still exposed to hundreds of toxins and toxicants every single day? Over time, that load adds up.

Lingering fatigue. Brain fog. Skin changes. Hormonal shifts. And more serious illness too.

Sometimes it’s not “just stress” or “aging” or “allergies” or “idiopathic illness.”

Let’s get to the root cause. Sometimes it’s toxic burden!

Take my quick Toxic Burden Assessment Quiz to learn more about how modern life impacts your health and if detoxing therapies might help.
