Rooted Elm Therapeutic Massage

Sarah is the best RMT I have ever had. I have been going to her regularly for the past year and want to take the time to give her a thorough review.Firstly, her practice is truly client-centred. She is a great listener, and her massage skills are superb! She allows her clients to decide their goals for each appointment (ie. relaxation or recovery), and she matches her clients energy (ie. talkative or quiet, informative or fun!). She has a great knowledge base about anatomy and health, and is always willing to answer any questions. She even stayed late one day to show barefoot massage to a friend of mine who is a new RMT grad, FREE OF CHARGE! She is truly a generous and dedicated practitioner.One of the most meaningful things I have taken from Sarah’s practice is her ethos of self care. Every appointment I had with Sarah, I felt encouraged to love, listen, and honour my body. She taught me how to take care of my body AND my mind. When I went through a mental and physical trauma at work, her practice nurtured both. Her practice is truly holistic: a perfect blend of physical and emotional self-care.If you’re looking for an RMT who will nurture your mental health as much as your physical health, I recommend Sarah. I can speak from experience that I will truly miss her practice whole-heartedly.P.S. if you have made it this far in my review, what are you waiting for? Book with her already!

Sarah has such a calming presence. What I appreciate most is how she starts the appointment...how can I best serve you today?" When I explained what was going on and what would be helpful

Sarah is outstanding an goes above and beyond with her treatments and advice. She is extremely knowledgeable and gets to the root of the issue each and every time. Highly recommend.

I had a great first massage with Sarah! I had the Ashiatsu massage and was really impressed with the deep and therapeutic pressure she was able to provide. I will definitely be back!

Sarah is truly amazing! I’ve struggled to find a massage therapist who actually listens and tailors their approach to the issues I state at the beginning of a session. Sarah does just that and I couldn’t be more thankful.I find it difficult to make requests during an appointment, like more pressure here, or give me a moment to readjust, etc for fear of being annoying. But Sarah manages to make me not feel like I’m inconveniencing her when I give feedback, make requests and asking questions. Can’t recommend enough!By the way, don’t be afraid of a barefoot massage if you have never tried it! If you seek good pressure in a massage, a barefoot massage provides that and more.Yet another hidden gem of Halifax.

Sarah is a great communicator and uses several techniques that I haven’t had from any other massage therapist. The consistency and depth of pressure she delivers when using her feet is fantastic, and her treatments are very effective without being painful.

As an RMT myself, I highly recommend Sarah for massage! She is extremely skilled and knowledgeable, and her hands (and feet!) move with care and confidence. Her calm demeanour is perfect for anyone who deals with stress or anxiety.I’m so happy I found such a great massage therapist downtown! Highest of high fives.

Sarah is spectacular! As someone with a sensitive soul and body I find she very intuitively responds to what I need. I often drift off during the session and feel like I'm floating away on a cloud afterwards. Do yourself and your body a favour and make Sarah a part of your self-care routine! Her space is a little oasis in the heart of Halifax.

Sarah is an outstanding RMT with an intuitive, caring, and highly effective approach. Highly recommended.

Every treatment I’ve received from Sarah has been full of compassion, efficiency and skill. She is a talented therapist in all respects and I highly recommend her.
