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, the International Spa Institute graduate 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 levels1 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. Currently, Sarah is in the process of completing her Masters in Social Work at The University of Pittsburgh. Her intent is to provide direct practice therapy as a complement to Healing Roots' existing services. 

​

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

Auttumn is honored to be at Healing Roots to act as a channel for mind, body & soul connection through the practices of therapeutic massage and reiki. 
​
Her history of caring for others through touch, namely her father, inspired her to receive her education at the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy. Here, she received training in myofascial release, energy work, neuromuscular therapy, and Swedish massage. Her massage style is a manifestation of her intuition and creativity. She prioritizes the comfort of each client by understanding that everyone who stands before her has walked a different path and individualizes each session with gentle and diligent care. 
​
Auttumn has spent a lot of time learning to trust her “gut feeling” and has practiced honing her skills through reiki. If you choose to receive a reiki session from her, she highly recommends bringing a journal to take notes after your session to take the reiki energy with you and integrate it with your own self-care practices.

Outside of Healing Roots, Auttumn can often be found creating art, enjoying a wide range of live music, or outside, finding quiet moments deep in the woods. 

Heather is excited and honored to join the team at Healing Roots. A recent graduate of The Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy, she has found her greatest passion - healing energy and touch. Previous to studying massage, Heather spent 15 years as a dedicated Chef, using her hands to make fresh pasta and bread. Now she has started a new chapter in her life, and is thrilled to be using her hands to provide body and energy work. 

Heather is enthusiatic about Reiki and compassionate massage. She believes that every body is beautiful and unique, and loves to work with every type of person. Heather truly enjoys listening to the stories of our bodies, and finds gratification in providing for whatever needs those bodies may have. 

When Heather isn’t in the studio, she enjoys spending time with her two hounds - Hilde and Harvest, volunteering, practicing tarot, making kombucha, and of course - cooking.
