Hello! My name is Sarah Rose. Massage therapy is more than a career to me; it is a calling that changed my life. To love what you do for a living is truly a blessing. I am very passionate about providing people with a healing touch to help rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit. My approach to massage is heavily influenced by intuition, while also backed by my knowledge of the body. My styles range from slow, free-flow, Reiki-influenced Swedish, Deep tissue, Trigger point therapy, Therapeutic stretching, Myofascial release, and Neuromuscular techniques. I have found that a blend of these styles is my bread and butter. I have also begun my journey with Thai massage and very much look forward to deepening my practice. I am so grateful to be living in Asheville, where there are so many opportunities to explore different modalities within the healing arts community—forever learning and molding my massage style!
