After one session, I felt physically and
emotionally relieved
Going to sports massage therapy was suggested to me by my dance teacher who saw the physical toll dance was taking on my body. After just one session, I not only felt physically relieved, but also emotionally. Sarah has helped to greatly improve my mobility, flexibility, and endurance during during my dance sessions, while also teaching me the importance of listening to and loving my body. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of my sessions!

Try myofascial release therapy for
teen postural issues
My daughter takes private ballet lessons in New York. Her ballet teacher commented on her posture, saying that the forward bending shoulder blades were likely due to muscle spasms in her upper back. She recommended massage and myofascial release therapy. After just a few months of work with Sarah, my daughter's posture was greatly improved.
Now, a little more than a year later I don't notice her posture as an issue anymore. So many teenagers have posture issues and I would strongly recommend trying myofascialrelease therapy as a potential solution.

Relief not addressed through other therapies
I have been able to move about and live normally after beginning therapy with Sarah. This therapy has provided relief that wasn't addressed through either pharmacotherapy or physical therapy.
I now have an option to eliminate lower back and leg pain that is non-invasive and actually works.
The ability to enjoy life again!
I came to bodyHeart becasue I was feeling chronic muscle pain in my legs. The discomfort was preventing me from enjoying my retirement years, not to mention the enjoyment of my granddaughter.
The myofascial release therapy I received helped me to reconnect to my body and what it was telling me.
Thank you for giving me the ability to enjoy life again.
NOTE FROM SARAH: This is a good example of "compounding sessions." This woman saw me twice a week for three months. Great results - the ability to enjoy life again!
Non-invasive and it actually works
I have experienced the power of myofascial work before, but what happened today was, well, weird and fabulous. I wouldn't have believed it if someone had told me about it. I had had a bad cold and it left my sinuses full and my nose stuffed up. My body was all out of wack: psoas tight as a drum, lower back tight, left glut was in spasm and made most any movement painful.
Sarah worked around my psoas, pelvis, etc., and moved to my hamstrings. When she dug into the back of my right leg, I almost hit the ceiling. Clearly this was the right spot. She hung in there, down the hamstring and behind my right knee, and I kept breathing into it. I started to feel the tingling energy release when all of a sudden it moved up my back and through my head. My sinuses immediately cleared!
All day I can breathe and my movements are easy and fluid. From the back of the knee to clearing the sinuses -- who knew?!
Letting the issues flow...
The beauty of your type of therapy is the lack of thinking required. Having been in talk therapy for a period of time, I see now that I was usually thinking about how to answer/discuss issues instead of letting them flow.
At my last session at bodyHeart, the discussion before we started was informative and may have set the stage for progress, but the hands-on therapy was so meaningful! Unlike previous sessions, this time I don't know who or what we were dealing with! My curiosity is rising and I want to schedule another session soon.

Bringing my mind/body back into balance
I first came to Sarah because I was suffering from an excruciating stiff neck. The moment that I stepped into her office, I knew that this would somehow be different than what I was used to. After that first session, I felt immediate relief and I was completely pain-free within two days (normally this condition would last up to a week).
Now two years later, I continue to see Sarah on a regular basis. Today my sessions range from many different approaches, depending on what my body needs at that moment . . . hot stone, deep tissue, or even a traditional massage. No matter what I choose, Sarah, a gifted healer, knows instinctively how to bring my mind/body back into balance. Thank you, Sarah!!
