Sarah Stensrud, LMT

Sarah recently relocated to beautiful La Conner, Washington! She thoroughly enjoys all that is offered in this special part of the world. On her days off she is mostly outdoors, as nature is healing for her. Her days are spent hiking, kayaking, snowboarding and general outdoor adventure and exploration. She is excited to integrate into the La Conner community!

Sarah became aware of the deeply therapeutic healing potential of massage while confronted with her own emotional and spiritual challenges as a teen and young adult. She is passionate about the connection between the mind and body and how stress, both physical and emotional, can manifest in the body. She combines what she has learned through her clinical training at Sage School of Massage in Bend, OR and other treatment based courses. Using her intuition, she feels in and connects with each client, listening to their concerns, observing visually, and allowing her client’s body to communicate what would be therapeutic. Massage is a meditation for her. It’s about being present and working with restriction to create more flow.
