Background & Massage Therapy Specialties

My thirty-one year career in the massage therapy profession began in Minneapolis where I received my initial training at Northern Lights School of Massage Therapy graduating in 1993. Since then I have had extensive training in advanced massage modalities including Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Orthopedic Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, Positional Release, Active Isolated Stretching, Dermoneuromodulation and Oncology massage.

I have specialized my entire career in supporting people with chronic pain and complex medical conditions that require a massage therapist to adapt techniques for greater safety and efficacy to serve clients with complex health states. I am now an Emeritus Professor of Massage therapy at Northwestern Health Sciences University where I was part of the founding group of faculty in their massage training program.

Over my 23 years at NWHSU I supervised students in their clinical rotations in massage and taught courses in ethics and other professional skills and as part of an interdisciplinary team helped develop and teach the initial course in Evidence Informed Practice for Massage Therapy. I was awarded the Faculty Excellence in Teaching award along with my team members for our work on that course in 2009.

My approach to massage is shaped by careful listening and assessment and blending techniques as needed to the individual client. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how massage therapy can help you. Set up an intake appointment today.

  • "From the first massage therapy appointment, I could tell that Sarah has a depth of knowledge and experience that would be extremely beneficial for me. She's used a variety of modalities and techniques to great benefit! I highly recommend Sarah to anyone, but especially for anyone with a chronic illness who gets musculoskeletal and/or neuropathic pain."

    Maria L., Client

  • "I have seen Sarah as a massage therapist for 10 to 15 years at this point and she's helped me greatly with some degenerative issues and many mishaps/injuries I've had over that timeframe. I would tell anyone coming to see Sarah that she is by far the best massage therapist I have ever had. She's allowed me to maintain my active daily lifestyle by her abilities over these many years."

    Jim K., Client & Retired Healthcare Professional

  • "Sarah is the ultimate professional and has incredible intuitive skills and listening ability. I am retired and live an active lifestyle in pursuit of physical fitness, strength and balance. I would not have the quality of life at my age without Sarah’s ongoing care for the past 14 years."
