Words cannot express my endless thanks to Sarah and her team for accommodating my husband and I during our day of Ayurvedic Rejuvenation. Their warm hospitality far transcended our expectations, especially as both my husband and I awaited our treatments. During our treatments every process was gently communicated to both of us, which we found so helpful, particularly as this was our first time with Ayurveda. We were both amazed at the detoxification process during svedana and the incredibly calming effect of shirodhara. And the 2 person abhyanga was unreal! Their usage of oils, in combination and individually, made this an even more invigorating experience. We each learned so much about the multi-uses of these oils. I can't recommend all three treatments and their team enough. Needless to say we both completed our Ayurvedic rejuvenation feeling much more aligned and energized. We hope to visit again upon our next trip to Washington. read more

I'm not an experienced massage person. I think I've have only 3 or so in my life. However, this setting was easily the most comfortable one I've been in. It was not just relaxing, which I would have expected, but comfortable. It didn't feel like I was in a business setting, it felt like I was in a whole new place. It's tough to describe, but you're really at peace here. I came for treatment for foot pain. I have been slowly treated it with various methods but learned some great techniques from Sarah. I'm trying not to jinx anything, but I really feel like I'm making bigger strides to being pain free just from one session. Granted, the real work is following what she taught, but it's definitely working. I couldn't recommend this place enough. Just a top to bottom great experience. read more

Ayurveda is like a slow turning ship toward health. Sarah Kruse has helped me with ayurvedic consultations to improve my health. I have experienced Ayurveda consulations twice, once in India while dealing with a difficult bronchial condition, and the second time here in Seattle with Sarah Kruse. Sarah has a compassionate nature, and is well-suited to this work. She is very knowledgeable. We Westerners have so much to learn about balance, and I have found Sarah to be able to bridge her deep understanding of Ayurveda with Western lifestyle habits such as little sleep, wheat, sugar, coffee, etc. It's not easy to change these things. Sarah creates a soft yet definitive opening for what you can change in your life. At least she has for me. Give her a try. read more

I recently received one of Sarah's incredible Abhyanga/Ayurvedic Warm Oil Massages. I've received many types of massage and this was one of my favorites--it's hard to explain why it was so amazing but I'll try to touch on it at least. Sarah is a gifted practitioner, and also has a very calming presence about her. There was such attention to detail throughout the massage. It was a very full experience of being skillfully massaged, soaking up all of the oil (and there was a lot of oil!), smelling all sorts of delicious scents/essential oils, and leaving feeling extremely relaxed, and also with my skin feeling very soft. I can't wait to book another session! read more

I treated myself to a Day of Ayurvedic Rejuvenation (Four-hands Ayurvedic warm oil massage, aromatherapy steam tent treatment, chakra energy balancing and shirodhara, warm oil over the forehead). It was amazing and the best massage experience I've ever had. The four-hands massage left me feeling relaxed and alleviated the back pain that I had when I had arrived. The steam tent left my skin feeling soft and even further relaxed me. By the time I got through the chakra balancing and warm oil over the forehead, I was in a very chill and meditative state. I haven't felt so great in ages and it raised my vibration exponentially. read more

Sarah is magnificent. She is kind, compassionate, and extremely educated in her beautiful art of healing through her practice of massage therapy and also in the science and practice of ayurveda.

I'm most grateful for a pratictioner with stellar integrity and deep, compassionate care as Sarah. I will always seek out her giftedness with every visit to beloved Seattle on Stone Way! read more

It involved an Abhyanga oil massage, Svedana (herbal steam treatment) and Shirodhara (warm oil treatment over forehead) and a chakra balancing. Sarah is extremely professional and has a calm and grounding presence. Her vast experience, healing touch and intuition help her fine tune the treatment for exactly what you need at that moment.

I recently experienced an amazing Day of Ayurvedic Rejuvenation! It was 2 1/2 hours of total relaxation and pampering. It consisted of a two person warm oil abhyanga massage, aromatherapy stream treatment, chakra balancing and finished with a wonderful warm oil drip on the forehead shirodhara treatment! What a lovely way to spend a cold, rainy day. The whole experience was not only relaxing, but deeply grounding and nourishing to the body, mind and spirit. I will be treating myself to another day of rejuvenation very soon. read more

I approached Sarah Kruse for Panchakarma and I am glad I did. She is thorough, highly skilled in her craft, and always present. There is magic in her hands. I literally felt my brain activity coming to standstill and be able to fully relax during Abhyanga (massage) and Shirodhara. I have more energy and feel lighter as a result of this experience. I strongly recommend her for all modalities of Ayurveda. Her presence is soothing and calming and her kindness and care will leave you speechless. read more

I saw Sarah after having sudden hearing loss. I was using the Abyhanga treatments to reset my nervous system bring me back into balance. Words cannot express how nourishing these treatments are on all levels, Mind body and spirit. It is an incredible experience with tons of knowledge around Ayurveda and its principals. I trust Sarah with her wisdom in the practice. I see her now on a monthly basis because I can feel the benefits of the treatments in my whole body. read more

I was just meditating and feeling so much gratitude for the healing work you shared with me yesterday. The effects continue to be very profound in that the integration of deep spirit/soul/consciousness is so very clear and integrated within my mental and body awareness. I am so excited about this work! Your presence in animating it is equally powerful. Just wanted to send waves of appreciation and purpose your way. Have a beautiful day! read more

It's an amazing opportunity to have an Ayurvedic oil massage available in Seattle, among the various other ancient techniques provided by Embrace Ayurveda. If you have never done this, you must at least give it a try. read more
