How We Work

This is a mask-friendly space! Mask wearers are welcome here, and I’m happy to wear one too. If you would like to wear a mask but forgot yours at home, just ask for one, I always have spares.

Root Cause Discovery + Homecare ($290 for 90 mins)

When symptoms linger, or when treatments fail; the real cause is often hidden.

Scar tissue, lymphatic stagnation, fascial restrictions, and chronic inflammation can quietly build up and disrupt healing for years.

This session is designed to find what’s been missed — and build a path forward.

Who It’s For

Root Cause Discovery Sessions are ideal if you are:

  • Recovering from surgery, injury, or chronic illness.
  • Experiencing unexplained pain, swelling, or stiffness for longer than 3 months.
  • Struggling with post-surgical complications or slow healing.
  • Seeking a non-invasive, body-centered approach to deeper recovery.
  • Ready to address hidden structural issues that affect your whole system.

What to Expect

  • A detailed intake reviewing your medical history, surgeries, injuries, and symptoms.
  • Hands-on evaluation of lymphatic function, scar adhesions, fascial mobility, and systemic patterns.
  • Initial manual therapy to begin clearing major blockages.
  • A personalized 1–3 month recovery roadmap, including recommendations for treatments, movement, self-care, and herbs if appropriate.

Session Details

Please bring any relevant surgical or medical history with you, and plan to stay well-hydrated.

Because this is an active, highly interactive session, and not a passive or purely relaxing treatment, it’s recommended that you avoid scheduling any strenuous activities afterward.

Giving your body time to rest will support the healing process.

Initial Treatment ($250 for 90 mins)

This appointment is required for new patients and a great way to start if unsure. After your intake, Sarah will review the treatment plan with you, and answer any questions you may have. Because each appointment is specifically tailored to you and your issues on that day, it might include bodywork, acupuncture, manual lymphatic drainage, facial restoration techniques, guasha, Celluma LED light therapy, cupping, myofascial work, or scar and fibrosis work.

This session is for patients interested in general manual lymphatic drainage, relief from chronic illness including Long Hauler’s Syndrome, or from the effects of procedures like oncology treatments.

General Session ($250 for 90 mins, $185 for 60 mins)

This 90 minute session is tailored to what your body needs on the day of treatment, which we decide on together. 60 minute sessions also available.

Post Surgical ($185 for 60 mins)

Sarah is trained in Cosmetic Post Surgical work, and pursues continuing education courses and research in post surgical work, scar work, and fibrosis work. She is experienced and educated in both cosmetic and non-cosmetic surgical recovery, and enjoys teaching her patients techniques for how to maintain results at home. Sarah is currently accepting patients who are experiencing recovery complications like edema, fibrosis, or the aftereffects of hematoma and infection.

Scar Resolution ($185 for 60 mins)

A focused session on reducing the appearance and discomfort of scars. Your practitioner may use special techniques in acupuncture, cupping, guasha, lymphatic drainage, and myofascial release, as well as topical ointments.

Summer Glow Intenstive:  Facial Tension Reset Series

Here’s what I’ve learned from years of this work: your face doesn’t separate beauty from comfort. The same tight patterns that create lines and sagging are often behind TMJ pain, headaches, and sinus issues too.

You’ve probably seen my before/after photos – those results happen because the treatments build on each other when you come consistently. Most people love their first session but then wait weeks for the next one, and we end up starting over each time instead of building momentum.

The Summer Glow Intensive gives you that sweet spot of weekly sessions where real change happens. Patients consistently tell me they’re amazed by both how they look AND how much better they feel – less jaw tension, fewer headaches, easier breathing, plus all the visible improvements you can see in the photos.

It’s the same work I always do, just scheduled the way that actually gets you the results everyone’s looking for.

Why 60 Minute Sessions Work

Most bodies respond optimally to focused, targeted treatment rather than extended sessions. Sixty minutes allows sufficient time for thorough assessment, systematic treatment of primary restrictions, and integration without overwhelming your nervous system’s capacity to process the changes.

This concentrated approach often produces more sustainable results, as your body can fully integrate the work between sessions. Many clients find that regular 60-minute appointments 1-2 weeks apart maintain better progress than spacing out longer sessions.

90-minute sessions remain available when comprehensive assessment or multiple areas require attention, but most ongoing care goals are achieved effectively within the focused timeframe. especially for chronic, multilayered health issues, a burst of frequent shorter sessions allows us to ‘get ahead’ of the inflammation to create lasting change.
