Sarah Eckstein, LMT
Sarah has been helping people feel better since 2007, but her appreciation for the human body started much earlier. As a competitive gymnast, she learned firsthand how demanding movement can be—and how important it is to take care of the body before pain or injury takes over. Her experience as an athlete gave her a liftlong valuation for recovery, injury prevention and the incredible things our bodies are capable of.
That passion eventually became a career. Over the years, Sarah has developed a therapeutic stlye that blends advanced techniques with intuition, experience, and the right amount of problem-solving. She specializes in pain management, rehabilitation and helping clients move through life with less discomfort and more ease. Sarah believes everyone deserves to feel good in their body. Whether you’re training for a marathon, chasing toddlers, sitting at a desk all day or wondering how you’ve managed to sleep wrong again, she loves helping clients find relief.
From 2009 to 2015, Sarah served as the head of the Anatomy & Physiology Department at The School of Holistic Massage & Reflexology in Downers Grove, IL. Teaching allowed her to combine her love of science with hands-on clinical experience. Although she stepped away from the classroom to focus on her growing practice, she continues to mentor massage therapists who are building their skills and confidence. She regularly is asked back at SOHMAR as a guest speaker to give her curated presentation, “10 Steps to Starting a Massage Business.”
Sarah strives to create an environment where everyone feels comortable, respected and welcome. She knows every body is different, every story is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness. Her goal is simple: to listen, to meet you where you are, and to help you leave feeling better than when you walked in.
When she’s not in the treatment room, you’ll find Sarah with her hands in the garden, working on a creative project, hiking with her dog, Luna; or relaxing on the deck with a good book. She loves live music, enjoys travel and is happiest anywhere there’s a good combination of sunshine, fresh air, good company and an adventure waiting nearby!
