About Myself
My Story
My name is Sarah Woods. I have been a Certified Massage Therapist since 2008 when I graduated from the National Holistic Institute (NHI) in San Jose, California. Because of my passion for massage, and to better serve my clients, in 2016 I completed an additional 450 hour Advanced Neuromuscular Program from NHI. I have worked at numerous massage establishments, from day-spas to doctors offices. I have run my own business for four years now; such bliss. I absolutely love what I do; it is a joy to help people feel and achieve their best.
MY MISSION
Empower and Heal
What I Believe
I first discovered massage as a young, energy-filled child who could not go to sleep. After experiencing the almost miraculous benefits massage seemed to offer with calming my nervous system throughout my youth, I enrolled into massage school right out of high school. Now having been in the field for fifteen years, massage continues to profoundly benefit my life: a calmer mind, reduced pain, greater range of motion, and improved sleep. I now find great meaning and enjoyment in helping others lead healthier, happier, pain free lives.
My Approach To Treatment
A Holistic Approach
I offer various massage services, each tailored to an individuals needs. Massage collaborates with your body’s interconnected systems to promote healing. Benefits include: increased blood and lymphatic circulation, increased range of motion, greater flexibility, and a toning of the nervous system. Feel free to browse through each massage option and contemplate which service calls to you.
Neuromuscular
This modality is wonderful for crises and unexplained pains that other types of massage have not been able to fix. Migraine headaches, tinnitus, TMJD, whiplash, pinched nerve, carpal tunnel, pain between the shoulder blades, low back pain, hip pain, sciatica, knee pain, and plantar fasciitis are just some of the issues Neuromuscular Therapy ( NMT ) can help alleviate. Also considered a deep tissue massage this slow, steady modality works into the deeper layers of your fascia. This massage helps reunite the nervous and muscular systems. I will use quasi-static pressure with fingers or elbows to eliminate trigger points. With knowledge of referred sensation patterns we can work together to get to the root cause of your discomfort and aid your body in healing. This massage can be done with the client clothed and does not require lotion. ( 60m $100 / 90m $150 / 120m $200 )
Deep Tissue
This high pressure, intense massage is great for computer junkies, commuters, and people with chronic pain in a specific area. This massage focuses on the deeper layers of fascia and muscle tissue. Slow steady pressure is used too penetrate and break old holding patterns creating a more pain free body. ( 60m $100 / 90m $150 / 120m $200 )
Swedish
With long gliding, relaxing strokes, this massage is a phenomenal sleep aid and can help you unwind from a tough day. This modality uses light to medium pressure. ( 60m $100 / 90m $150 / 120m $200 )
Pregnancy
For the Mommy-to-be! Every precaution is taken to ensure the safety of you and your child. Organic oil and if you so desire lavender essential oil will be used. There are certain areas that I will avoid entirely in the early stages of pregnancy and only light pressure will be used in the later stages of pregnancy for the safety of mom and baby ( 60m $100 / 90m $150 / 120m $200 )
