My name is Sarah, and I am your Forks, Washington therapeutic massage and body work practitioner.  I arrived to the peninsula in Fall of 2021 and was drawn to this area as an avid hiker and adventurer.  I attended massage school in Texas and am currently licensed in the State of Washington. I retired as a rancher, boarding stable owner/operator, and horseback riding coach in Texas.  I am so enjoying my career as a licensed massage therapist, LMT, and I absolutely love the Olympic Peninsula, its national park, rainforests, beautiful beaches, and lovely cool weather.  I moved to Forks in 2024 after marrying my husband and I absolutely love how quiet and green it is here.  I am excited to be closer to where the wild things are and am looking forward to exploring more of the area.
 

Medically, I am able to warm up tissues and gently deepen into muscle fibers, soothing each muscle individually, one fiber at a time.  This process is delicate, but firm, and done with intention.  I also incorporate fascial restriction release into my sessions.  I am quite mindful of lymphatic flow and maintaining physical touch throughout the session for your comfort and confidence.  I keep my patients carefully draped for their modesty and security. I use subtle stretching throughout therapeutic sessions and patients tend to come off my table restored, relieved, and recuperated.  My space and my part in your healthcare journey is, at best, to add to your physical, mental, and emotional health in a comfortable and supportive fashion.

Lypossage Body Contouring Technique:  Lypossage is designed to promote good self image and positive health.  Lypossage influences your health, skin, fascia, muscle, cardiovascular system, and lymphatic system. Lypossage helps to lift and sculpt the body.  A study done shows its participants lost dimensions in the waist and thigh.  For the face, Lypossage can increase collagen production, increase circulation to the face for cleansing and renewal, improve muscle tone, and remove toxins from the face.  It can also help to restructure fascia, pulling the face "up" and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
