Sarah is a licensed massage therapist who has been working with clients in Western Massachusetts and the Berkshires since 2007.

 

Sarah has studied many modalities including Kripalu Bodywork, deep tissue and therapeutic massage, myofascial release, ayurveda, reflexology, thai, and reiki. Over her years of experience, she has found that finding stillness in the body and listening to what it has to say encourages deep transformation on both the physical and soul levels.

 

Sarah believes in the infinite potential of the body’s ability to heal and that through conscious awareness we can release old patterns that manifest in physical discomfort. Using guided breathwork, grounded presence, and intuitive touch she holds clients in a safe space to let go of what no longer serves them and expand as energetic beings.
