IMPORTANT UPDATE TO NOTE Embracing Change: Transitioning to Somatic Coaching After 15 years dedicated to massage therapy, I have embarked on a journey of personal and professional growth, exploring the profound connection between body and mind. This path has led me to somatic coaching, a holistic approach that integrates physical sensations with emotional and mental well-being. What Is Somatic Coaching? Somatic coaching emphasizes the mind-body connection, helping individuals become more aware of their bodily sensations to facilitate growth, transformation, and healing. Techniques such as mindful movement, breathing exercises, and awareness practices enhance self-awareness and promote overall well-being. Transitioning My Services In light of this, I have decided to transition my practice to focus primarily on somatic coaching. While touch remains a vital component, I will exclusively offer bodywork with a preceding somatic coaching session. This integrated approach allows for a more comprehensive experience, fostering deeper awareness and empowering you to cultivate inner wellness, which often translates to improved overall health. Upcoming Changes • Limited Availability for Massage Therapy: A few sessions for massage therapy are available until January 25th inclusively. Massage therapy sessions will not be available afterward. I apologize for the short notice; other excellent therapists are listed on my website for your convenience. • Somatic Coaching Sessions: Online somatic coaching sessions are available from January 26th to the end of April, as I will be away. In-person sessions will be available as of May 1st. • Prerequisite for Bodywork:A somatic coaching session is required before any bodywork appointment. It's important to note that somatic coaching is a more comprehensive, holistic perspective, examining the body in its entirety, and the bodywork that follows leverages a broader range of techniques, including sitting, standing, and lying down while fully clothed. Conversely, massage therapy concentrates on relieving soft tissue tension and temporarily promoting relaxation. The transition to somatic coaching represents a shift towards a more integrated approach to wellness, focusing on the mind-body connection and the cultivation of inner wellness. I understand that change can bring questions, and I am here to support you through this transition. My commitment remains unwavering-to provide holistic and effective services that promote your well-being. Your trust and well-being are at the heart of this transition. Thank you for your continued trust and support. Warm regards, Sara

We all have interesting journeys that lead us to the paths we've taken, chosen or not, but somehow i like to believe that we always end up exactly where we need to be. I for one have a thirst and curiosity for how the mind body and soul connect. This is perhaps due to my ever longing to self heal. I have seen many therapists of all kinds, some better than others and a few exceptional ones. My journey has been a perfect example of Rumi’s saying “we are all mirrors of each other” and “we are all here to walk each other home”. It is essential to help one another with what we have added in our basket of knowledge and experience by sharing those stories that have helped each one of us through our darkest times.
I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, studied and earned the title of event coordinator, massage therapist, naturotherapist, breathwork facilitator, but I mostly identify as a free spirit trying to increase awareness, help inspire our inner spark, to lead by our inner compass and lift one another through stories, music, photography, art, poetry, touch and spoken word. I believe the human to be innately good despite having forgotten our true essence due to the noise that surrounds our society. Some call me a coach, some a therapist, some a healer, others a light worker, but I like to identify as a curious human with an affinity towards human behavior. Each interaction is different, and I wish to create a space where each person can experience the part of me that is needed in that moment. I am a health consultant, for health of heart, body, mind and maybe even some soul. Then again none of these are separate and form a perfect connected web that holds our true essence. Allow yourself to discover what part of you you'd like to explore for deeper healing.
