Sarah Bauer is a PA Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, and Yoga Instructor. She graduated from the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy in 2007 with a dual focus in Medical Massage and Asian & Energy Therapies. She became a Reiki Master in 2009 after studying for years with Timothy Kocher-Hillmer and will soon begin taking on Reiki students. She was a staff member at The Pittsburgh Center for Complimentary Health & Healing for three years. Upon the birth of her second child in 2010 she opened Samadhi~ Massage, Reiki & Yoga. She completed her Yoga Teacher Training coursework with Joanne Vandenhengel of 3rd Street Yoga in 2010 and currently teaches classes and workshops at Schoolhouse Yoga.
Sarah trained and worked as a professional dancer before turning toward a healing profession. She is a long-time student of mystical traditions as well as a practitioner of yoga and meditation for over 10 years. All of these life experiences give a unique form to her work, melding a fluent knowledge of anatomy and body movement with the grace of a dancer, and incorporating her view of the body's energy system to induce deeper levels of healing. She enjoys working with these different approaches harmoniously in a session depending on a clients individual goals.
Sarah lives in Regent Square with her artist husband, martial artist son and sweet toddling daughter. She is a fluent Spanish speaker. In her free time she enjoys being in nature, breathing, knitting, being up-side-down...and getting a massage!
