Back to Structure, Back to You.

The podcast has been on a little pause.
Back to Structure, Back to you.
A price change. And a package to ease you in.
We're still reweaving a new way to care over here. Summer is winding down. School is back in session.
I never know how much to share on social media, so I try to keep this space a little more sacred. A place where I can share more specifically about what I’m thinking, creating, questioning, and doing.
Your inbox is something I don’t take lightly.
If you’re willing to open and engage with these messages, I find this a little closer to real life than another face scrolling past your swipe.
This summer has been a reckoning of sorts for me personally.
I had a lot of time with my kids and time away from the usual rhythms of work.
And what I keep coming back to is this:
There is another layer emerging.
Barefoot massage is one vehicle through which I offer solace, soothing, and nurturing.
I offer motherhood support through Mother Circle, postpartum care, and bodywork.
And because somatics have been revolutionary in my own life, my signature Body Wisdom group class has become something really meaningful, not just for me, but for the people who continually show up for themselves and for this community.
And yet...
I still feel like there’s more.
I won't share all of my musings yet. Some of them are still becoming.
But I've been creating a lot of social media content that I'll begin rolling out soon, and I'd love for you to follow along and engage with me there.
Because it's a wild thing to have a body of work that is deep and intricate when the world increasingly asks us to communicate in three-minute increments.
How do we even do that?
And maybe that's part of what fascinates me about social media.
It's revealing all the ways we're connected and disconnected.
All the ways we're a truly magnificent species.
And all the ways we're capable of destroying some of the very things that make us human. It's complicated. It's sticky.
And somehow, we're living through a time that I suspect will be talked about in history books. I feel it.
Revolution.
This week, I'm coming back to structure.
And I'm inviting you back into my practice after a long and strange summer of 2026.
A few ways to come back into community:
BODY WISDOM My signature somatic group class is offered every other Saturday evening at 4pm and every other Sunday morning at 8am.
These are small, accessible spaces to slow down, notice what's happening in your body, and practice being in relationship with yourself.
Please register at least 24 hours in advance.
MOTHER CIRCLE Mother Circle begins September 19 at 7am and will meet every other Saturday.
This is a space for mothers to be witnessed, supported, and reminded that we were never meant to do this alone.
BACK TO THE TABLE / BACK TO THE MAT / BACK TO THE BODY
*Total cost. I still don't accept gratuity unless it is chocolate or used books. :)
If you've been in recently, you've probably heard me waffle about this. I haven't adjusted cost since 2023 and it's an increase of $20 per session.
I realize everything is feeling tension right now. Our bodies and our wallets.
Like many deeply feeling people, I want therapeutic massage to remain accessible to as many people as possible while also supporting my family and creating a sustainable practice.
If at anytime, my work has helped you or inspired you, please consider sharing this with others. Even responding with a one-word reply helps the google overlords know that I am truly a real human.
That's how we support and lift each other as we traverse these weird and unusual times. Forward this message. Join the Patreon. Share my website. All of it goes to support the change I am living to support in the world. It's all supportive.
Reviews make waves in others finding me and the work I create in the world. Please consider sharing your experience on google.
I’m Sara, and I'm interested in creating spaces where healing isn't dependent on having all the answers, but on cultivating honest relationships, embodied practice, and a willingness to keep learning together.

The podcast has been on a little pause. A New Class! Many of you have LOVED the new service, Intra-Oral Massage. You can still receive that! As I've developed this, I could feel something emerging. This work can be done by YOU--at home! And I found it pairing so nicely with the lymphatic work that I attribute to some of what helped me improve my POTs/Long Covid symptoms. (if you have questions about that, send 'em to me!) And I want to teach you how to treat yourself. -If you have a history...
