This isn’t a massage you get, it’s an experience you surrender to.

Each long, weighted stroke is delivered with the grounded grace of bare feet, the rhythmic beauty of Swedish massage and the intuitive depth of trigger point specificity.

I’m Sara, and I’m interested in creating spaces where healing isn’t dependent on having all the answers, but on cultivating honest relationships, embodied practice, and a willingness to keep learning together.

Everyday, I live with a chronic illness that makes me cozy up with discomfort. And in a world increasingly telling you to soothe, comfort, & dissolve your pain. I’m here to tell you that is fine until it’s inaccessible. So really, it’s not fine. Yes, self-care, self-soothe, rest…. but maybe you also need to move your body.

We’re here to experience a full range of emotions, feelings, & sensations. That means being with discomfort until you can hear it speak. And then translate it for yourself through your own whole-self. I can’t do this work for you. I can only hold the space (Yes, I’m using that term-it is overused and it is meaningful) and guide you through what I’ve seen with myself and clients.

Support (sometimes called resources) is what we focus a lot on. What and who hold you up? Because surprise, you can’t do it all on your own. And resourcing can be easier than you think. I’m not always talking about moving people around or compromising your contact status—sometimes it’s exploring the texture of a plant or a sensory rich memory.

We move through these concepts together in Body Wisdom: a group somatics/movement/breath care class. Every other Saturday 4p and Sunday 10a

Until you decide to work with me in group or solo, I’ll point you to my FREE resource guide NOW available.​

There are a few new (and honestly, delicious) offerings I’ve been weaving in:

​

• {NEW!} Intra-oral + facial massage — for those holding tension in the jaw, face, or nervous system or you have a history of headaches. (and also has a connection to the pelvic diaphragm) This work can be subtle and profound, softening patterns we often don’t realize we’re carrying. This can be added to your session or a session on its own.

• The Soleful Reset (4 hours) — a deeply immersive experience. Think: layers of warmth, intuitive touch, rest, and time stretching just enough for your system to truly exhale. This is one of the most generous ways to receive.

• Love Your Low Back (Add-on to any table session) — You’re feeling the creak and the ache especially in your low back? Yeah, let’s focus on that. I don’t want to take away from the other work we do on the table so let’s add a little extra time and focus up on your low back, QLs, Psoas, pelvis, hip flexors, and gastrocs.

• Postpartum care (Closing of the Bones / Blessingway) — for those in a threshold moment. Whether you’re preparing for a new baby or newly postpartum or tending to an older transition, this work honors the body in its transition and its integration.

I’ve also brought in some beautiful new tools and textures that I can’t wait for you to experience… the kind that make your body say “thank you for that!”

If you’ve been meaning to come in, or your body has been whispering (or shouting), now is a really lovely time to listen.

​You can book here​

I want to say, thank you for being part of this space. Whether you come in regularly, occasionally, or are simply here reading these words… this work is shaped by relationship.

If you’re wanting to stay connected in a different way, I’ve been sharing more on the podcast lately, and the Patreon is still open as a softer, ongoing space to engage with this work outside the treatment room.

I’ve been sending emails about new offerings but I wanted to put them all in one place. And give you a few more.

“I found myself able to decompress better during and after Sara’s Body Wisdom program. You would think ‘mind opening’ would be this big deal, but the program is very accessible and low key. It was the calm eye of the storm in my life. Sara is good at walking you through ways to let go of the next things you need to do for a bit. Life is pretty over stimulating. The calm and space to just be present in the moment, and breathe, is welcome. The program sessions were the perfect length of time. One of my favorite things is how Sara welcomes everyone before and after the session. Her practice space is ideal and has sunshine and tea. The experience was so welcoming.” Register here

​

I want to be clear about something, I believe in care as a practice. In remembering one another’s humanity, even when the world forgets. Even when the powers at large are shifting the tides in what we model and consume as human value. I stand firm in my progressive values and everyone deserves the right to equality, dignity, and justice. We’re not going back. If you’re a woman, femme, queer, ND neurodivergent, BIPOC, you are seen and held here.

These times call for the helpers to emerge. I’ve always held the space to help the helpers.

If you are an organizer or activist, you can use the CODE: HUMAN1ST to jump into the Body Wisdom course at no cost. The work you’re doing is important, let me hold some of this with you. Please spread this word quietly to ensure safety.

Thank you for reading. It means the world to me.

​
Remember, a one-word reply to this email does wonders for email deliverability. I also love to hear from the ones reading this. Plus, I like to know I’m not just yelling into a void when I send these. 🙂 You can also like, share, and comment on social media. It all helps us small biz folks.
