Sarah is hands down the best massage therapist that I have ever been to. She takes the time to really understand what areas are problems for me, and she always makes sure to ask what my goals for the session are. When I indecisively say, "I don't know," she outlines a general plan, making sure to focus on the areas that typically bother me, while incorporating it into the overall picture. I am happy to let her do this, as I always leave in a complete state of relaxation. Additionally, Sarah seems to do a great job of reading the tone of my mood at each session, and no matter what has happened in the outside world, she creates a sense of calm and relaxation with her serene outlook and guidance. I have recommended Sarah to all of my friends and colleagues, and some of them now travel from about 75 minutes south of Chicago to see her, as she is the only massage therapist they would ever want to see. There is no one I would rather see at the end of a rough week, and I know that I will keep going back to Sarah for years to come. I highly recommend that if you are looking for a massage therapist, you should book an appointment with Sarah. read more

"Was humbled today and reminded of the power of massage. Received one, focusing on my left neck and shoulder pain- that has been chronic for some time. A combination of the sport I love so much, Acroyoga, and a car accident in February. Treatment for the decrease in range of motion and a certain pain upon certain ranges of motion has been slow and at times felt somewhat elusive. Today, I remembered the power of receptivity to treatment as well as the power of a therapist's listening being (because she listened without ears, and beyond her hands). As Sarah positioned my head into a full range of motion to the left, I had a distinct understanding that she was helping me complete some kind of motion I couldn't when I was hit by that car. For some reason, I hadn't been able to turn over my shoulder and look left. For some reason, that had significance. And for some magic reason, all of this shifted my musculature and for the first time in a long time, my head is centered on my neck. I am not chronically looking to my right, off into some unfocused distance. Gratitude is deep." read more

EXCELLENT!! Sarah is a fantastic massage therapist. I have been going to her for 2 years. She is intuitive, knowledgeable and provides a very professional service. She has been more helpful in her assessment of my muscle pain than some physicians I have seen and with that has provided great relief and release to the tight muscles in my neck, shoulder and back. Sarah is also very approachable, friendly, listens and sets a calm and quiet environment. My family and I recently relocated to Texas, and I wish I could convince her to move here! I already miss her. Of the 9 years I have received massages throughout the country, she has been by far the best I have experienced. I highly, highly recommend Sarah. You're muscles will thank you for it! Another plus is the Heartwood Center where Sarah has her practice. It's a great resource for other disciplines such as acupuncture or yoga. read more

I do very physical work and recently put out my back for the first time. Like, crawling up the stairs, involuntarily yelping in pain bad. I thought I'd go see my MD and get an Rx for PT, but I decided I would try Sarah first; I had previously seen her glowing reviews online, but her openings never fit my schedule. This time, she had an opening the next day. And lucky me, because she was miraculous. She did stuff I've never had done, weird pulls and pressures, and also advised me on what to do later at home. It was the most phenomenally effective massage I've ever had. She's professional and pleasant, and is involved with your care without getting too intrusive, if that makes sense. I won't see anyone else from here on out. read more

Sarah quietly interviewed me to learn what I hoped to get from a massage therapy session. "I want my joints and muscles to be worked, lubricated, stretched but more than anything I want to leave relaxed". Under considerable stress due to difficult medical treatments, she considered my complete profile and expertly delivered the most effective massage I've had - ever! and I'm a big believer in regular massage. Strong yet very fluid strokes left me feeling so physically loose and tranquil, I was stunned at the difference in the before and after me! And yes, I did find myself snoring at a point. Total bliss and very effective! I look forward to making Sarah's therapeutic massage a regular part of my health regimen. read more

A year ago we left Chicago for Minneapolis and who knew that one of the things I'd miss the most were my regular massages from Sarah. I'm not a massage kind of guy. Sarah immediately set me at ease, and she really listened to what I had to say about my general tension, and specific aches and pains. Every visit she revisited what we had addressed previously and she customized each massage to take care of whatever was bothering me at the time. Sarah combines exceptional technique with a incredibly calming personality to convert me to the benefits of regular massage. read more

I have been to a lot of different massage therapists over the last 35 years and Sarah is the very best. She is surpisingly strong and has excellent technique to make that most effective. And she is extremely gentle, a rare combination. I told her about the muscles in my back that were bothering me and she focused on them. The soreness was completely gone for several days, a result far better then I anticipated. I was extremely pleased with the resultsand have been back each week since. Plan to continue. read more

I have been going to Sarah for a few years and I like Sarah's responsiveness and her willingness to communicate throughout the massage. We discuss what my body needs during a session and Sarah's very good with responding to those. She knows exactly what to do and when she isn't sure on how to treat an ache, she will ask for feedback. She's the only massage therapist I go to and I would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

Sarah is a wonder. She is a kind and calm massage therapist. I have never been to keen on massages, but when I met Sarah I was hooked. I began to see Sarah while trying to conceive and she was always very aware of my emotional and physical state. I had the great fortune to continue to see Sarah monthly during pregnancy and always felt very centered and at ease during all my massages. Sarah is highly recommended. read more

A massage with Sarah is like having a giant, albeit well-trained and intuitive, cat knead you quietly into a state of uncommonly deep relaxation.
