Sarah Eckstein, MT

Sarah N. Eckstein graduated from the School of Holistic Massage and Reflexology in Downers Grove, IL. There she focused on general massage techniques while integrating shiatsu, manual lymph drainage, pregnancy massage, and hydrotherapy to combat certain muscular issues arising from day-to-day living.  Sarah has continued her education with a 52-hour certification in Sports Massage. The class taught her the importance of stretching muscles while integrating massage techniques to help ease strained and tired muscles. She also has expanded her knowledge further with a 120-hour Reflexology certification.

This year, Sarah has begun to study and integrate Hawaiian Lomilomi massage and is amazed with the effects it has on the nervous system, gastrointestinal system, and in aiding with the balancing of structural misalignments. She hopes to continue studying and expanding this aspect of her touch.

When not massaging, Sarah teaches massage therapist students anatomy and physiology. She spends her free time outside with her yellow lab, learning to play the didgeridoo, reading, and fueling her creative side by painting and participating in local charity art auctions.
