Sarah studied illustration at Mass Art in Boston, and at UNH in Durham she received her BA in studio arts and Classics. While continuing to practice her art and writing, she started a business as a boat painter, refinishing old wooden boats, subcontracting for boat yards as well as working on the water. In 2008 she studied at Downeast School of Massage, and since then has had a full time private practice, specializing in working with elders. She is trained in Shiatsu, deep tissue, a variety of energy work and body based trauma recovery. She has worked with those in memory care, nursing homes and with home bound seniors. She studied Shamanism in a two year apprenticeship with Dory Cote, and continued shamanic studies on her own, as well as studying with Capacitar, a body-based trauma healing organization that focuses on community support and healing. Lucid dream work, meditative journeying and a daily practice of writing and drawing informs her work in the world of healing. When COVID disrupted the field of massage therapy in 2020, she went back to her former occupation as an independent contractor painting wooden boats. In 2022 she returned to body work as a mobile massage therapist, in coordination with other health practitioners in her community. She lives in Midcoast Maine.
