Wonderful massage therapy!Sara has exceptional care, massage, and healing skills. She is very knowledgeable about the body its muscles and needs. She helped me get past a couple of injuries and has truly helped me feel and get better.

I’ve been getting massages for decades - Sara is one of the best practitioners I’ve ever worked with. She will work with you to get at the roots of pain and trauma in the body…and she will give you the most relaxing and deeply restful massage. I’ve had many massages from Sara over the years - but this summer when I had a very serious car accident and fractured my pelvis, clavicle, and rubs - she has been a total lifesaver, every step of the way. It took me weeks to walk again but it was a little faster than I was initially told and I honestly believe that the regular massage therapy I’ve been doing w Sara since July is a part of that. Also, she’s very easy to talk to and her intuition is excellent - she just seems to know how to find the knots and then gently work them out. Truly magical.

Best massage of my life, and I’ve gotten hundreds of massages! So often you’ll circle a body part or make a note asking the massage therapist to focus on a certain area, but they just do the full body massage they always do. I asked Sara to focus on my neck and shoulders and she used various tools and modalities on my neck and shoulders and did not move on until the tension in that area was released. I cannot wait to go back and will send my friends her way!

Highly recommend Sara! She’ll kick your butt in a good way 👍👍👍

Sara is PURE magic! I have been to Sara for her 90 minute massages and also EFT tapping. She has literally transformed the way I move and exist physically, mentally and emotionally. Her massages are absolute bliss and leave me feeling ache and pain free. She listens and uses a combination of gua sha to smooth out fascia then incredible massage technique to provide relief and relaxation. I have also seen her for EFT tapping and she has improved my life in all aspects, I am kinder to myself, my relationships have all been transformed and I am happier and live with more ease. Each session yielded almost instantaneous results and I saw improvement in the way I feel and think about people in my life and myself. Words cannot fully express how grateful I am to Sara!


May 05, 2024

Absolutely Amazing!! I highly recommend this place for anyone who needs to relax and destress.


Apr 05, 2024

I have been getting massages from Sara for over 20 years. I’m inspired and so grateful for her skill and compassion as a therapist, both massage and EFT . She is truly gifted.


Apr 05, 2024

Sara is amazing and a highly skilled massage therapist. She is a true healer. She always knows exactly what I need and I leave feeling so relaxed, grounded, and happy, like the best version of myself. I've been seeing her for years. I don't know how I could do my work without her. I cannot recommend her enough!!


Feb 06, 2024

Amazing, long awaited relief from the hands of an Angel


Feb 06, 2024

Digs deep to uncover your trouble spots


Feb 06, 2024

Sara is an amazing practitioner! I have gone to her for massage and EFT and I 100% recommend her for both. As a massage therapist, she is consent-oriented, thorough and really skilled. As an EFT practitioner, a session with her felt equivalent to 6 sessions of talk therapy. Please give her a try!


Feb 06, 2023

I found myself in a lot of pain with my entire left side, from head to toe, tingling. Sara was welcoming, offered water upon arrival, asked questions before starting. She asked questions and read ques that my body offered up as she proceeded. I will definitely go back. Unlike a doctor who will prescribe pills and send you on your way, there was immediate relief and after 24 hours there's significant improvement.


Feb 06, 2023

I had a fantastic massage this week. Sara took my request at heart and provided the most relaxing massage that I've had in years. Definitely recommended.


Feb 06, 2023

I went to Sara with very bad pain in my neck and upper back. She was able to work out the knots in my body and I left feeling significantly better. I would highly recommend her to any one.

October 2022: I have seen Sara and and off for years and more recently, regularly to address deep-seated trauma and unhelpful core beliefs and heal and transform them. In my graduate counseling psychology program, we are learning just how helpful Emotional Freedom Technique/Therapy can be in treating PTSD. It is being used at John Hopkins and some of the best medical clinics, and has been studied in over 100 clinical trials. The results are astonishing. It can be tremendously effective. In a group of veterans, 9/10 of them were able to completely heal their PTSD using EFT, for example. This is not wacky alternative woo woo stuff…it is the real deal. We know that in trauma, talk alone is often insufficient because science has proven that it is stored in the body. EFT combines the somatic, body release of the trauma while bringing self-love and self-acceptance, the foundation of traditional counseling and therapy, in an easily accessible, non-invasive way through gentle tapping on acupressure points that have been used for centuries in Eastern medicine. There is nothing new age about it; it’s a new way of combining the old tried and true very effectively. So, please don’t hesitate to give Sara a try. Even though one can do EFT on themselves, it is much better to have a trained support, and she is one of the best ones out there. I feel so happy in my life thanks partly to Sara. August 2022: Sara is the best healer I have ever had the opportunity to work with in both massage and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I am a graduate student in counseling psychology and have studied and worked with excellent professionals, however she is very gifted at getting to the root of one’s issues and helping to create a true transformation. You will feel much, much better after massage or EFT with Sara, and I can’t recommend her enough. December 2018: Wonderful massage and emotional freedom technique. She really helped me overcome deep trauma and pain. Great prices and a very nice person with excellent technique and intuition.


Feb 06, 2023

Sara helped me with a severe psoaz issue about a year ago. When I went to see her I was walking at a 45 degree angle. When I left the first session, I was walking upright and the problem has never reoccurred. I have since sent my father-in-law to see Sara. He is a former professional massage therapist and he told me that she had done the best body work on him he had ever experienced. Recently I have sent my wife to Sara. In short, I would unreservedly recommend Sara to anyone in need of muscle/body work if they have challenges or for a simple relaxation massage.


Feb 06, 2023

Sara provides such a healing service for my body. Every visit surprises my body with very satisfying results. I share my concerned spots and her healing hands always goes beyond my expectations. I've tried others. There's no one like her.


Feb 06, 2023

There are deep tissue massages, and then there's the archeological excavation that Sara accomplishes. Wow! She'll leave no knot unfound. After a series of bi-weekly visits, I've got range of motion unseen since the early '00's. Sara gives you just what you need, whether you like it or not; so remember: "You don't have to love her, but it helps!"


Feb 06, 2022

Sara is a fantastic massage therapist. I highly recommend her if you want a great massage. Her massage style is very unique, she combines a lot of different techniques that really loosen you up and get you feeling your best. I've been getting massages regularly from Sara for a couple of years. Her office is very tranquil and relaxing. And her prices are fantastic for the quality of service you receive. I also started working with Sara last year on EFT. Sara has made such a positive impact in my life, helping me reframe and process past traumas. I highly recommend working with her. I feel that EFT is quicker and more effective than any standard therapy techniques I've tried.


Feb 06, 2021

In the year we’ve been working on EFT together, Sara has helped me in profound ways. I am healthier that I ever thought possible in a shorter amount time than I thought possible. I am eternally grateful for her contribution to my life. I believe in her abilities as a healer, but most of all, I believe in her.


Feb 06, 2020

Sarah is literally changing my life with her approach to massage and energy work. I have never experienced anything like her and I reccomend you give her a try if you are looking for some whole person massage that is like nothing you have ever had.


Feb 06, 2020

Sometimes, putting emotions, knowledge and experiences into words is so difficult - working with, learning from and growing through EFT classes and meditation with Sara is one of those instances. The changes that have occurred in my life and in my very spirit through working with Sara are so wonderful; my self esteem has grown, my ability to focus, to set boundaries in not just my personal life, but my professional, has changed for the better. Sara takes time to listen, really listen, and find the tools YOU need to improve in all aspects of your life. Her smile lights up a room and her compassion and passion are immeasurable. I have gone from not being able to sit still for even 30 seconds, to being able to meditate for 30 minutes or more. I have obtained my voice and am a much better communicator for it. I have established boundaries that have been completely life changing. The group that meets the first and third Wednesdays of each month is a must. The shared acceptance and encouragement is beautiful. Thank you, Sara for all you have done and continue to do.


Feb 06, 2019

Best massage I've ever had...I am now a regular customer.


Feb 06, 2019

First off, Sara does not do relaxation or traditional massage. She does more body work, or therapy. If you are looking for what most people in the USA consider to be a massage, go elsewhere. This is also not what I would consider to be a professional business. Through all of my appointments, Sara showed up a minimum of 2 minutes late from what was supposed to be the START time of my massage. The first time I went in, Sara really sold me on herself and her work. She told me my body needed a lot of work and she knew exactly how to help me. I appreciated her quirky, outspoken personality. I decided to buy a package of 3 massages for $155. By my 3rd visit, I was ready for a traditional massage. When I arrived, I asked Sarah how she was doing. She proceeded to tell me that she wasn’t doing very well and that her stepfather had passed away the week before. I gave her my apologies, and I am truly very sorry, but that was not the way myself, or as far as I can imagine anybody, would want to start a massage. I could feel that her energy was off and in my opinion, if she was not in a good mental state, she should have not come into work that day. She then spent the whole hour using two fingers to press random parts of my body for a minute at a time. It wasn’t enjoyable, it wasn’t helpful, and it wasn’t what I asked for. I left really disappointed and decided to communicate this to her. I sent her a very kind email, telling her I respect her work, and maybe it was miscommunication, but I didn’t feel I received the type of massage I asked for. I still had one massage left in my package that I didn’t want to waste. She wrote back and although she wasn’t unfriendly, she wasn’t willing to accept any responsibility for the miscommunication or misunderstanding. She basically placed all the blame on me and said next time make sure you communicate so I can give you what you want. Ok, so I go in for what I thought would be my last massage at 2pm on Thursday. I said hello and asked Sara how she was when I arrived, and she didn’t even respond, and wouldn’t look at me. I thought that was strange but brushed it off. She sat me down and asked me what was going on. I told her I was fine and she asked what my expectations were. I explained to her in the best way I could what I wanted, and I asked her if that made sense. She looked at me with a straight face and said a very rude “NO”. As we proceeded to discuss it, Sara was becoming more and more aggressive toward me. She asked me if I had ever been happy with any of her work and I could tell she was upset with me because I had tried to communicate about my last massage. Still, I remained very friendly and was trying to make the best of the situation, as I was in there to receive a massage. She started raising her voice at me and being extremely rude. I was almost in tears. I could not believe that I was receiving this sort of treatment from someone who claims to be a professional and is supposed to be in a place of relaxation. I asked her if something was wrong and told her that it was becoming a very hostile environment. It became very clear to me that she never had any intention of giving me a massage that day, and was holding a grudge because I wasn’t happy with my previous massage. I then told her I thought it was best if she just gave me a refund and she agreed. She forced me to leave her office and went so far as nearly pushing me out the door. Overall, that was a horrible experience for me. I wasted an hour and a half of my day driving up there and back and never received a massage. If Sara is that insecure about her work that she cannot accept that not everyone is going to love what she does, maybe she is in the wrong business. At least I can walk away knowing that I was the bigger person, even though Sara is about 20 years my senior. She had absolutely no right to treat me that way, and I am surprised that she still calls herself a professional. I would not recommend her to anybody, and I can only give you my fair warning to stay as far away as you can.

Picking an RMT is a very personal choice. I've seen at least a few dozen in my 51 years and I've been going to Sara exclusively for the last 10 years. She's the best I've found. She is a great fit for my needs. Very intuitive, strong hands and skillful technique. Always growing her practice to incorporate new healing techniques, yet not pushy or salesy about it. Plus she has a very open and accommodating personality. Always professional, yet fun and engaging to whatever level I'm up for during any given session. Sometimes we chat the whole time, sometimes I barely say and word and focus more on the work. It's a great session either way, every time.


Feb 06, 2019

Sara is THE best massage therapist I've ever had. I've been seeing her for years and would highly recommend her services to everyone. Her years of expertise are apparent in the skill provided. Sara is professional, compassionate and accommodating. I have been suffering from migraines for years and, for my particular type of migraine, Sarah's techniques offer immediate relief from pain. Sara also sees a member of my immediate family and has extended the utmost of patience and compassion for which I remain ever thankful.


Feb 06, 2019

Sara is by far the best massage therapist that I have ever been to. She is very skilled, personable, and truly cares about her clients. Sara doesn't just help you feel better during your massage appointment, but she'll try to help you identify what is causing the pain in a specific area and even teach you some stretches that you can do at home. Sara uses some really effective techniques and has significantly helped me with the pain in my psoas and hips (likely caused by tightening in barre class). She convinced me to try cupping in one of my first appointments with her and now I ask her to use this on me every time! The best part is that she is incredibly well priced for her top notch service! I highly recommend visiting Sara for your next massage!

I'm a nurse and a laser tech and was having such bad back pain I was having to miss work and was in excruciating pain by the end of the day when I did go to work. Before Sarah I had been to several chiropractors and massage therapists and they gave me relief for a day or 2 and then the pain came back. As soon as Sarah touched my back I felt like she knew where the pain was, why it was occurring and it was as if she had a magic wand and melted it away with her hands. No more pain since my first appointment a week ago and I'm about to go for a second today. I'm so thankful I have found Sarah she is amazing!!


Feb 06, 2018

Sara is a healer! She is very talented and has helped my husband and myself be pain free. Her space is clean and inviting. Her massage can be relaxing and healing. I wish I could see her more often. Also her prices are fair.


Feb 06, 2018

She's nutty but she's the only thing that has actually made a difference with my hips and back. I tell everyone to go to her!


Feb 06, 2017

I have been seeing Sara for massage therapy for more than five years after a multi-year search for a therapist who actually made me feel like a massage was effective. Sara's massages always 'hurt so good', and the relief lasts. She cares about her clients and is a refreshing character of honesty and integrity.


Feb 06, 2017

Sara is awesome! she definitely found the knots on the back of my neck and shoulders. Took quite a bit of work on her part to get rid of these nuisances but she did it. I am going to begin scheduling regular appointments.


Feb 06, 2017

Sara provides one of the best deep tissue massages I've had in Austin. She has a very good ability to find the trouble spots and work on them!


Feb 06, 2017

Was referred to Sara by a friend who raved about her deep tissue, sports therapy treatments. During my first session, Sara was fun and easy to talk with. She asked me about the reason for my visit, listened to me describe some symptoms, and quickly hypothesized some causes/issues to address in our massage work. Excited to continue learning and growing with Sara. And, naturally, for all the good massage work! :)


Feb 06, 2017

Wonderful touch and understanding of the body. Also great health tips!
