About Sarah
Hello, I’m Sarah.
I first came to massage and bodywork about 20 years ago while looking for ways to manage my own wellbeing. I know that when I take care of my health - a swim, eating well, regular massage - I feel more grounded. Starting bodywork just felt right – the ebb and flow of massage and the sense of connection from touch therapy drew me in. During my studies, I worked in a hospice – that’s when I realised how deeply important this work is. It was at the hospice that I learnt the importance of massaging with compassion and presence.
Knead + Ground was born out of my love for Bodywork (Knead) and Aromatherapy (Ground). Growing up in nature and experiencing different therapeutic approaches has shaped my practice. I bring the different aspects of massage, bodywork and aromatherapy that I have learnt along the way to my treatments to support physical and emotional well-being.
Over time I have noticed my interest shifting to take a more mindful approach with bodywork; listening for the subtle changes in the tissue and inviting change into the body, rather than forcing it. This has been shaped by my experience of how the body responds. Fascial bodywork in particular offers a gentle, non-invasive approach to support your body and mind.
My practice is rooted in the nervous system and an invitation to work somatically; by noticing what is happening on the inside, we can begin to create lasting change in the body.
When you come for an appointment with me, I want to take you on a journey from beginning to end. Each session is approached with care and presence and tailored to you. I want you to feel completely held in the space and leave feeling nourished.
You’ll find me working out of my therapy space in the centre of Frome.
I have a degree in Integrated Therapy in Practice which includes a FD (Arts) in Health and Social Care (Holistic Therapies) as well as Clinical Aromatherapy, Swedish Massage, Indian Head Massage, Reflexology, and Stone Therapy. I have continued my professional development in short courses including: Pregnancy Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Advanced Massage Techniques, Women’s Health, Breathwork, and Understanding Trauma. I am currently studying for a Diploma in Fascial Bodywork which is informing more of my current practice.
I am a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists and committed to continued education.
