Hi, I'm Sarah.

It wasn't always massage.

I always knew I wanted to work in a helping field. After earning my degree in psychology, my first job in the field was in foster care, where I worked as a social worker. I cared about it deeply, but it felt like pouring from an empty cup.

The roots go back further. When I was in college, my mom went through treatment for breast cancer, and it left trigger points all over her body. Massage helped her. I got hooked on how the body maps together: the nervous system, how muscles let go, how a knot in one place can send pain somewhere else entirely.

Now I get to be the highlight of someone's day, their week, sometimes even their month, and that fills my cup. I feel so blessed that I get to fill theirs in return. People walk in excited and leave feeling better than when they came.

“Life ejects you into where you're supposed to be.”
