Sarah Ellis is an intuitive and sensitive massage therapist. I had been going to Sarah for neck and back issues. Her keen awareness to her clients helped bring to the surface my problem with scar tissue in the abdomen from a hysterectomy done several years prior. After discussion and making a plan of attack to help alleviate my pain we started a regular program and did just that. I would never have believed that through tissue work I could be pain free from an old surgery filled with nasty scarring. I'm so grateful to her for the knowledge she has and the healing hands she's been gifted with. I highly recommend her as a massage therapist with body issues big or small. » Expand « Minimize ~ Debra
I was in two car accidents over the past 2 1/2 years and I honestly do not know
what I would have done without Sarah. Not only is her bodywork superior, Sarah offers so much more than massage.
The injuries from my accidents are very complicated and my team of doctors was having an extremely difficult
time diagnosing and treating me. Sarah continued to encourage me to seek alternate care and continued to provide
me with relief from my nearly constant pain. Through her help I was finally able to find a team of providers
that began offering me real care.
Prior to meeting Sarah, I had received massage from over a dozen Massage Therapists. The difference between
Sarah and my prior providers is remarkable.
Between sessions, Sarah will analyze and research options for my care. After sessions, she will spend
considerable time with her patients showing them exercises and stretches they can incorporate to assist
them with body care. It is very obvious that Sarah cares a considerable amount for her patients and is
dedicated to their overall well-being.
I would recommend Sarah Ellis (and have numerous times) for anyone in need of Massage Therapy. She is an
amazing body worker and I cannot say enough about the incredible experience I have had with her.

I am an aging athlete and cancer survivor and for years I have been going to Sarah Ellis to put my body back together. She first listens and then applies her responsive and gifted techniques that inevitably help to heal what ails me. Her knowledge of the human body is extensive, innovative and creative and I always feel my energy released and vibrating after a visit. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sarah. » Expand « Minimize ~ Annie
Sarah is wonderful at listening to her clients and diagnosing what she hears from her clients as the problem, then
going right to work on those target spots. I've been seeing her off and on now for over 18 months for a variety of
issues, ranging from elbow tendonitis to tight trapezius and levator scapula, to lower back issues, and most recently
for fascial work post-surgery to release some scar tissue.
The depth of her knowledge -- and her ability to explain it to the layperson -- never ceases to amaze me.
She's very personable, caring, and resourceful. Not only has she helped with body and tissue work, but she's
also referred me to other very helpful people who have continued to make a huge difference in my personal health and
happiness. I highly recommend her!

I met Sarah Ellis a little more than two years ago, a dear friend gave me the gift of a massage at a very important
time in my life. My wonderful son Luke, 19, had died suddenly in an accident, and my friend thought that Sarah's
healing touch might be a comforting and loving gesture at this difficult time. When my friend offered, I said
"yes." I do not have much recollection of my first meeting with Sarah, given the shock and grief I was experiencing,
except to say that I left her knowing that I had received exactly what I needed at that moment in time.
This initial meeting set the tone for my relationship with Sarah in the two years that I've been receiving her
healing, restorative and comforting touch: I have always received what I need. Sarah is intuitive and gifted, gentle
and tough.
Her work with me has enhanced my athletic endeavors, helped me heal in my grief, and encouraged me to be healthy in body
and mind. I can only give positive endorsement.

I was referred to Sarah in 2003 (I think), because my neck had "locked up", and I was unable to turn my head.
Also, I had extreme pain in my ribcage area. This was the result of a very poor chiropractic adjustment, and I was scared,
to put it mildly! I came to Sarah with great fear and trepidation, because I was in so much pain, discomfort and immobility.
I was also fairly skeptic as finding any relief by seeking massage therapy.
I was blown away by Sarah's manner, her knowledge of the human body, medical conditions, and by her calm, compassionate approach
to me and the pain I was feeling.
To fast forward… after 1.5 hours with Sarah, I was able to turn my head, experience pain-free movement, and actually believe
that she would be able to fix this "situation" that I found myself in! I was ecstatic, and nearly brought to tears with relief. I
continued to visit Sarah, and have seen her on numerous occasions over the past few years, and have always come away with a renewed
spirit and relief from any particular physical discomfort.
I could go on and on about Sarah, suffice to say that she is the consummate professional in her field, and I would, and have recommended
her to many, many other people. She is the best practitioner that I have ever had the good fortune to experience!

Sarah Ellis helped me recover from a Cesarean Surgery in early 2010. She worked with the organs surrounding the surgery site and the scar itself. I work as a Pilates Teacher and it was important to be able to return to my work with as little pain as possible. Sarah is an amazing and talented Massage Practitioner. Her additional studies in Visceral Therapy and Craniosacral Therapy make her work so valuable. » Expand « Minimize ~ Shane
Having a treatment by Sarah Ellis is an amazing experience.
First one enters the enchanted ambiance of her garden, into the house through the old fashioned front parlor and into the treatment room.
You lie on the warm cozy massage table, Sarah's gentle voice guides you along with her skillful touch. It becomes clear you are in the
presence of a true healer and you can't help but relax fully and enjoy the experience. Sarah has helped me recover from surgery with her
particular expertise in working with deep tissue. I highly recommend her ability to heal. You can't go wrong.

I am so grateful to have had Sarah as my massage therapist for the past few years. She is insightful and highly skilled as a healing professional. I have a congenital hip problem and much associated pain. I am confident in Sarah's approach to therapy and in her ability to listen and address my concerns. She is flexible in terms of scheduling and I always feel welcome in her home. Sarah is very positive and has a genuine ability to connect with her clients. She is a big reason that I have been able to stay active, flexible, and energized, despite a significant physical limitation. » Expand « Minimize ~ Kathy
I've been a client of Sarah's since she started her practice. Over the years she has seen me through several injuries including pulled
hamstrings, a broken foot, stressed wrists and overall stress in my body from life's changes. Throughout it all, Sarah has worked with me
to reduce overall pain and stress, get my body functioning back to normal and I find when I leave the table, I'm feeling much better than
normal!
She is extremely thorough, a great listener (to my words and mainly my body), and amazingly knowledgeable about anatomy, physiology
and everything else that is part of her profession.
The bonus is that I've also been turned on to some great new music she's played
during the massage.

Sarah Ellis is excellent at therapeutic massage and has a great understanding of physiology. I always leave feeling better! ~ Geoff
Sarah is knowledgeable, highly skilled, and puts you at ease immediately. I initially came in for chronic migraines and headaches, which are so much better now. She also has been very helpful in correcting problems due to past head, neck and shoulder sport injuries. Sarah is one of those intuitive masseuses who can feel where there are issues and correct them with great results. I am continually amazed at her skill and natural talent. A treasured find! » Expand « Minimize ~ Joanna
I started working with Sarah after I tore the tendon in my biceps and later after injuring my back in a car accident. She has an intimate knowledge of how the body works and was able to get me back to my previous health through massage therapy and a targeted program of stretches and exercises that she devised to treat my injuries. The quality of life that I now enjoy wouldn't be possible without the excellent and extremely knowledgeable therapy provided by Sarah Ellis. » Expand « Minimize ~ William
I came to Sarah highly recommended by a body worker colleague of 20+ years. Injured, perhaps body surfing, I struggled for more than 4 years trying this and that to release the tension that was causing me to be in almost chronic pain. Despite the pain I remained as active as I could. Physical therapy was a wonder and let me inhabit my body again at a functional level. Then I went to Sarah, a master healer. With amazing clarity she found her way to the underlying source of tension in my spine that drove the imbalanced pattern throughout my body, and released it. Within a very short time I was not only pain free but again inhabiting a balanced, responsive and vibrant body. Sarah is among the rare and extraordinarily gifted healers that we are so lucky to have amongst us. » Expand « Minimize ~ Heidi, Homeopath, Body Worker and Writer
I'm a Montessori teacher of 20 years. This means that I need to move about the classroom on a daily basis, work on the floor,
pick up children, sing and teach movement. I need to be very mobile. I was injured over a year ago in a 3 car pile up on highway 405.
I was the 1st car and the accident was not my fault. My car was totaled. I did not feel anything at the time of the accident but
within 8 days my neck felt horrible and I could hardly turn it to the left. I was seeking help but could not find anyone willing to
focus on my "problem or injury"; they would charge me BUT kept massaging other parts of the body and had a pre-set massage
they did on everyone. Or scary as it sounds NOW, I kept finding people that did not know what they were doing! I was basically wasting
my money and could get no relief.
I meet Sarah aprox. 3 months after my injury (in Dec 2009) and I was desperate. Well BINGO… finally someone who knew the body,
where I was injured, tight (I did not need to tell her--she could find it) and she also knew where my bones were out. I feel very
fortunate to have found her…
as otherwise I'd be requesting pain bills and not fixing my problem. Over the years (I'm 57) I've seen many people for
massages, but for injury and serious problems, know one is as good as she is… she's the best!!
