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 and awareness 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 slowly 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 between April 1st to the 4th. Massage therapy sessions stand alones will not be available as of June 1st. 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. Please send an email for an appointment. 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 partially or 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

A simple process to get you where you need to be
Evaluate
Through conversation and evaluation of your pains, needs, state of mind, we look to identify what we can apply for short and long term change so you can get back to living your ideal life. I am happy to hold space for release, conversation and body awareness so we can find where your needs are not being met.
Set Goals
Goals can be big or small, short term or long term, but you have to want something and know what it is to get it. We find adaptable approaches to help you start on your personal journey to a better you.
Educate
Through 10 years of studies, practice, experience and curiosity I have come to learn that there is no cookie cutter approach that works for everyone. Specially that we all learn very differently. I give you ressources, tools, reads, tips and tricks that are adaptable and approachable according to where you are at. When we educate ourselves, we allow for new perspective to settle in and our vision widens to what we truly seek to create with what we have at hand.
Followup
I am not one to run after patrons as the whole purpose of these sessions is to empower you to take inspired action through gentle guidance. However I am available to help tackle hurdles, answer any doubts, questions and follow up routines that can help you go where you are meant to be.
Methods we Explore
Finding fitness and health equilibirum
Discovering and activating the senses
Breathwork
Breath is the mother of all energy, so they say in Traditional Chinese Medicine and ayurvedic practices. It is also the one therapy that no one can do for you, yet is free to practice as you please. Through educated guided practice you can dive deep in your inner world, help regulate your nervous system, increase circulation and ground your body and mind. I will be happy to guide you through the process as needed.
Meditation
Some meditations seem long and tedious, some seem boring, some are too much, some are too little, but there is surely a meditation that can help you get into a space of being that can in turn have major repercussions on your productivity, creativity, energy, clarity of mind, and maybe even find an answer or two hidden within. Combined with yoga nidra cues, some breathwork and embodied practice this can become your go to for resourcing.
Emotional Healing
There has been thousands of research papers and books written on the connection between emotions and the body. However if we do not identify and allow to feel the emotion, to question what it's telling us, we often get stuck and end up ruminating. Sometimes those blows show up physically and create an onslew of unwanted issues. Emotional healing is energy in motion and starts with the body coming back online.
Massage
Finding relief from pains, aches and discomforts can be frustrating. Specially when we don't know what we don't know. It can imply physical, structural, emotional or psycho somatic components that need guidance, release or manipulation, involving a mix of modalities practices and treatments. Therapy isn't always linear, nor is one modality the best for everyone. Being aware of the complexity of the body and it's requirements Sara is happy to refer out to other therapists and specialists when necessary. She will always refer to professionals she has tried and tested throughout her years in the health industry.
Lifestyle Habits
We all know that the best doctors in life are love, sun, fresh air, whole foods, movement, sleep / rest, nature, water and consistency in those things that feed and resource the many layers of our well being. Together we look into what aspects we can add / improve and perhaps adapt for better longer lasting lifestyle change.
Body Awareness
The body is so resilient and adaptable, but often can heal itself with the right information and care. We delve into different approaches to give you back power over how and what your body best responds to. But the true work comes from consistent practice, even just a few precious minutes a day of self care can help create a world of difference.
Your vital energy and body awareness will translate in every exchange you have on a daily basis, with yourself and others. Sometimes its a matter of getting things aligned..
