Aloha & Welcome!

My name is Sara, and I’m the owner of Ebb & Flow Bodywork by Sara—a home-based practice offering professional, therapeutic bodywork. I’m passionate about helping you feel at ease in both body and mind.

About My Background

• Education & Experience:
  I graduated from the Hawaii Massage Academy in Honolulu, HI in 2022. I began my career practicing at a spa in Hawaii for nearly two years, and since September 2024, I’ve been growing my dream bodywork business here in Massachusetts.
• Licensing Disclaimer:
  I am a licensed massage therapist in the state of Hawaii. In Massachusetts, however, I focus exclusively on bodywork rather than massage therapy. This distinction ensures clarity about the services I provide.

My Modalities & Techniques

I continuously expand my skills and incorporate a variety of techniques into my sessions, including:

• Modalities:
  • Lomi Lomi (Hawaiian Bodywork)
  • Therapeutic Touch
  • Myofascial Techniques
• Enhancements:
  • Hawaiian Aromatherapy 
  • Myofascial Cupping Therapy
  • Heated Scraping Therapy 
  • Rosemary Scalp Oil Treatment

My approach is always evolving, driven by my love for learning and a hands-on commitment to your well-being. 

My Approach to Bodywork

Whether you’re navigating life transitions, recovering from physical strain, or simply prioritizing self-care, I’m here to support you with personalized sessions designed to meet your unique wellness needs.

Client-Centered Care

I truly believe in a client-based care model. I always listen to your needs and will never push you past your limits or comfort zone—communication is the pillar of a great bodywork experience. I empower my clients to feel capable, safe, and deeply connected to their bodies.

My approach is intentionally slow. In today’s fast-paced world, I believe that slow, sustained compression, gentle rocking, and nervous system–focused work offer the most benefit. I maintain a pressure within a comfortable range for both you and me; my goal is not to cause discomfort or make you squirm. If you’re seeking an aggressive or fast paced approach, my practice may not be the right fit.

What Length Session Is Best for Me?

• 60 Minutes:
  Perfect for a relaxing full body experience that promotes overall flow OR for deeper, targeted work on one to two problem areas.
• 90 Minutes:
  Ideal for full body relaxation with a focus on one to two areas, OR for deeper, targeted work on two to three problem areas.
• 120 Minutes:
  Best for clients seeking a deep, relaxing experience that addresses multiple problem areas, while still allowing plenty of time for a comprehensive full body session.

Payment & Gratuity Policy

While I do accept tips, please note that gratuity is included in my rates. This means there’s no need to stress about additional tipping—my fees are designed to reflect the complete care you receive.

My Guiding Principles 

The philosophies I live by are deeply integrated into my bodywork practice. Here are some of the mottos and principles that guide my work:

• Balance is Essential:
  "Balance in body, balance in life." True wellness comes from a harmonious integration of physical, mental, and emotional health.
• Self-Care as a Daily Practice:
  "Self-care is a daily practice, not an occasional luxury." Consistent nurturing is key to sustaining long-term well-being.
• Embrace Transformation:
  "Healing begins with listening to your body." Every session is an opportunity for self-discovery and transformation.
• Live with Intention:
  "Live with intention, feel with passion." Intentional living fuels personal growth and the quality of care I provide.
• Growth Through Change:
  "Embrace change as a pathway to growth." I view each challenge as an opportunity for healing and progress.
• Holistic Healing:
  "Nurture yourself to nurture others." By caring for yourself, you enhance your ability to care for those around you.
• Nature is the Ultimate Teacher:
  My time in Hawaii revealed our profound connection to the land, our ancestors, and the elements—especially the sea and earth—that shape our lives. Through regular visualization practices before, during, and after bodywork, I keep my energy refreshed and create a sacred space for healing.
