Sarah Ferrell moved to Albuquerque from Indiana in 2004 to attend the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics (NMSNT). She was drawn to the school’s diverse curriculum and specifically to the Core Synchronism work taught by founder and instructor Robert Stevens. Sarah graduated from Indiana University in 1999 with a BA in Anthropology. She spent summers during college doing volunteer work in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala and touring the US with her all-female vocal group, VIDA. She continued to pursue music and work/ travel in Latin America after college. When her band dissolved in 2002 she knew she needed to turn her attention to her own health. She’d been exposed to massage therapy and bodywork in the years prior and was drawn to delving deeper into this work.
Sarah’s experience at NMSNT was transformative and set her on a path to personal health and vitality and a successful career as a professional massage therapist and bodyworker. She continued to study with Robert Stevens, completing all seven levels of Core Synchronism as well as exploring continuing education in yoga, nutrition, and deep-tissue massage.
Sarah has been a Licensed Massage Therapist for 20 years and has owned and operated her own private practice for that length of time. For 12 years she managed the bodywork collective Calle Ocho Therapies (2008-2020). She has nine years of spa experience as a part-time massage therapist at Betty’s Bath and Day Spa (2005-2014).
In her free time Sarah loves to play music, practice yoga, ski, tend to her garden and chickens and spend time with her husband and teen-age children.
