Distinctive Instruction

At Midwest Massage Therapy, you will enjoy learning from instructors who are also in private practice and have years of Eastern massage experience. We're not simply teaching from a book – our classes are fun, intuitive, and full of in-depth information that can only come from experience and results-based research. You will not get the kind of focused, individual, and proprietary instruction you get from us anywhere else.

Owner Sara Newberry, LMT, NCBTMB, has extensive experience and various forms of training in many modalities of FasciAshi, pregnancy massage, Pillossage™, Asian theory, and other techniques. She takes great care in conducting extensive research and has grown slow and steady, staying away from the hype and utilizing practical business sense. She is kind, passionate, and energetic and loves to share her special perspective in her classes.

Because she has a successful barefoot massage practice that she built from the ground up, she shares her expertise and puts her own spin on what she teaches, giving you the added advantage of learning from someone who has been there, done that.
