Sarah attributes her unique and therapeutic massage style to her early massage days working on Hilton Head Island, where she learned from seasoned therapists to treat the practice as something sacred. 

​

Today, Sarah owns and operates Healing Roots Massage & Wellness Center with the intention of creating a haven for others to experience relief from physical, mental, and emotional distress, as well as a renewed connection to one’s self. 

​

Since starting her career as a holistic practitioner, Sarah has received certification in Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra, completed Myofascial Release training, and became certified in Reiki levels 1 2 & 3. Sarah shapes her work in a way that addresses the whole self, and clients can expect thorough, meaningful work in a safe, intimate, and easeful space.

Most recently, Sarah has graduated with her Masters in Social Work from The University of Pittsburgh.  

​

Outside of Healing Roots - Sarah enjoys spending time in nature, practicing yoga, running, and writing poetry.

​Heather came to Healing Roots shortly after graduating from The Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy in 2023. Since her time with Healing Roots, she has grown increasingly more passionate about the healing she is trusted and can provide. Trained in Swedish, Myofascial, Neuromuscular, and Prenatal Massage, as well as Reiki and Reflexology, Heather is enthusiastic about blending and customizing each massage to best help every individual's therapeutic needs. 

From a young age, Heather has felt a strong connection to all living things. She views every form of life as unique and worthy of compassion. That being said, having the ability to hold space for each client to share their story and their needs during a session means a great deal to her! She encourages everyone she meets to be open and honest and to advocate for themselves to receive the best outcome from their session.

When Heather is not in the studio, she enjoys spending time in nature, drawing and painting, hanging out with friends, and, most importantly - cuddling with her two hounds, Harvest & Hilde

​Every emotion we put off for later takes energy (and tension) for our bodies to hold.  I help my clients find more space and ease with whatever life may be bringing up for them.   I use what I have learned in my 13 years of practice as a transformative coach and 6 years as a massage therapist to help my clients come home to the self inside of the body, and embody (in-body) their own depth and aliveness.  

Feeling safe and held in the honest experience of tension, pain, stuckness, fatigue, sorrow, grief, despair and likewise in our calm, curiosity, tenderness, and joy is such a crucial gift that I have been given in my own healing journey by skillful and loving mentors, and I am honored to get to practice offering the same to the people that arrive on the massage table with me.  

The clients who love working with me are interested in their own journey, understand that an outside person isn't going to "fix them," and at the same time they also get that all of us needs some support along the way.  The human experience wasn't meant to be navigated alone.  If this resonates with you, please book us a time together, and I look forward to being with you.
