“Her massages are intense in the best way, and so efficient for what I needed.”Alexis K. · Google review
Hi, I'm Sarah.
I always knew I wanted to work in a helping field. After earning my degree in psychology, my first job in the field was in foster care, where I worked as a social worker. I cared about it deeply, but it felt like pouring from an empty cup.
The roots go back further. When I was in college, my mom went through treatment for breast cancer, and it left trigger points all over her body. Massage helped her. I got hooked on how the body maps together: the nervous system, how muscles let go, how a knot in one place can send pain somewhere else entirely.
Now I get to be the highlight of someone's day, their week, sometimes even their month, and that fills my cup. I feel so blessed that I get to fill theirs in return. People walk in excited and leave feeling better than when they came.
“Life ejects you into where you're supposed to be.”

Sydney
Intern · training with Sarah this fall
Sydney graduated from Blue Heron Medical Massage Academy in 2026. She began her journey in the wellness field as a dental assistant, where she saw daily how significantly jaw stress, posture, and muscle strain impact overall well-being. That experience led her to pursue massage therapy, where she combines clinical precision with compassionate, restorative care. Specializing in deep tissue massage, TMJD relief, and persistent shoulder and lower back discomfort, she works closely with each client to uncover the root causes of their pain. Sydney is truly passionate about seeing people thrive and feel their best. Recognizing that sustainable wellness is a collaborative effort, she takes pride in teaching her clients practical ways to maintain mobility and continue their self-care routines at home between sessions. In her free time, she stays grounded through hiking, camping, and traveling, unwinds by painting, and loves going on adventures with her dog, Mowgli.
