Reweaving a new way to practice

We’re Building a Different Rhythm of Care

Hi,

In May (5/11–12), one of my mentors, Randy Cummings of Black Swan Bodywork, will be coming to teach in my office. I’m really looking forward to being in that space of learning and inspiration again. The last time I had lunch with him in Chicago (circa 2019) I came back and changed the way everything was done. Let’s see what happens this time 😉

There’s something powerful about stepping back into the role of student.
It sharpens my awareness, expands my perspective, and inevitably finds its way into the work I offer.

These past few months have already been full of that kind of depth, (This will be the 3rd class I’ve attended in 2026) and I can feel my sessions slowly evolving because of it.

More intuition.
More connection.
More trust in the body’s intelligence.

Same nerdy intellect and awe for the body as you’ve come to expect from me.

It’s a quiet shift, but an important one.

As I continue to learn and integrate, I’m also holding the reality of summer, more time with my kids, a different pace, and a schedule that reflects that season of life.

If you’re wanting to come in, especially in July or August, I encourage you to schedule ahead.

Here with my practice, you and I, are practicing a form of care that includes motherhood, not despite it.

This is what it looks like to center care in a world that often overlooks it.

You are helping build something that future families will recognize as possible.

This work continues because of the people who choose to be part of it.

And I don’t take that lightly.

With appreciation,
Sara

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.

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.

More soon on something I’ve been quietly building around that less transactional, more relational but for now, just know you’re invited into it.

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 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.
