Reviews
"I'm a gymnast and aspiring professional acrobat, so my body is put through the ringer on the daily basis. Getting a massage from Sarah was like a breath of fresh air. She would check in with me from time to time during the process, but she was so good at reading my body that I could just breathe and relax. She has been a great help in keeping me pain free and mobile despite the demands I put on my body."

"Sarah is one of those rare people who has an intuitively healing spirit. Massage is just one of the ways she exercises this spirit. She had helped me through some acute neck pain with a customized treatment plan including taking me through a body scan during a session. I always leave feeling restored and grateful that this is the way Sarah has chosen to use her gifts in this world."

"When I came in for my massage, Sarah was SO welcoming and communicative. I was able to relax completely and let her do her thing. I loved the way she combines relaxation with movements that I can tell are actually helping my body and its alignment. I do not know all of the technical terms but she did it all flawlessly, where I did not have to move! She moved my body for me. After my massage was over, I swear my eyes were half closed for a few hours because I was so relaxed. I would love to continue coming back to Sarah for massages in the future, pairing it with chiropractic adjustments, to upkeep the great work she did for my back. "

"Sarah's communication before, during, and after massage always made me feel very comfortable. Getting a massage can be very vulnerable for anyone, and Sarah's compassion and loving presence, along with her communication to check in and see how I was doing throughout the massage experience always put me at ease.
I would like everyone to know that Sarah's presence is a healing presence. Sarah radiates joy and kindness, and it is ever present as she works her magic and tunes in to all areas of your body. I work a stressful job, and every time after my massage with her I felt all of the tension leave my body, my headaches improve, and my anxiety levels go down. You will never be in more caring hands than you are with Sarah. "
