Before going to massage school, Sarah graduated from Johnson State College in Vermont with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology in 2002. Afterward, she worked as a Counselor for a Mental Health Agency. Sarah went on to graduate from Florida College of Natural Health in Orlando, Florida where she received her diploma in Therapeutic Massage in 2005. Sarah is a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association and a Reiki Master. She received her certification for Reiki 1 in 2002, Reiki 2 in 2008 and her Reiki Master (Reiki 3) certification in October 2011. 

Sarah specializes in Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage. She believes that massage does not need to be painful in order to be effective. Her slow massage strokes and techniques allow the muscles to relax so that the deeper muscle layers can unwind without damage. Sarah is also well accomplished in Reiki Energy Work, Reiki-Massage, Combo Massage, Foot Reflexology, Hot Stone Massage and Prenatal Therapy. She is excited that the business continues to grow every year and looks forward to many years to come.
