Myofascial decompression, commonly known as cupping, helps break up persistent tension in the fascia that causes the interface between muscles and skin to become sticky and restricted. By releasing these adhesions, areas of chronic soreness and stiffness can experience a marked improvement in mobility and overall function due to increased circulation and blood flow.

Meet Sarah
Hi, I'm Sarah Coppola, a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist, Craniosacral Therapist and Vedic Astrologer.
I started my own practice in February, 2023. It has always been my dream to have a space where I can share my innate passion for healing in a comfortable location.
Pursuing a career in Massage Therapy was a natural progression from a passion for learning holistic healing methods. I began in the mid 2000’s by studying herbal medicine and wild plant identification. In the early 2010’s, I became a Reiki practitioner.
I had an intuitive message come through in 2015 telling me about something it called the “2020 Vision.” At the time, I knew I wanted to help others but had no idea how I would do it. This message was very strong yet calm, and told me that I needed to get myself into a position in life so that by the year 2020, I would already be up and running working and sharing my affinity towards healing.
Inspired by this, I enrolled in a Massage Therapy program in 2018. For a few years after becoming licensed, I worked in other spas and massage offices. But I knew my practice would be best served by operating my own space. In the beginning of 2023, I opened my office at the beautiful and historically significant former Divinity School Campus.
Since then, it has been my pleasure to assist the Greater Rochester community by sharing my space and skills. I welcome you to reach out and come experience it for yourself!
Sarah is passionate about her work, helping others feel better and regain balance in their lives. She was inspired to become a massage therapist so she could build and operate her own practice, creating a welcoming, respectful space where people with neurodiversity and members of the LGBTQIA+ community can feel safe and comfortable.
“She has been helping me tremendously with chronic pain. I am happy I decided to take an investment in myself to seek her care.”
— Laura B.Our Focus
Tech Neck
Massage and craniosacral therapy can both help relieve the muscle tension, stiffness, and pain associated with tech neck, improving posture and restoring more comfortable neck and shoulder movement.
Chronic Pain
Massage and craniosacral therapy ease chronic pain by loosening muscles, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and calming the nervous system, addressing both bodily and neural causes.
Stress Reduction
Massage therapy helps reduce stress by easing muscle tension and lowering cortisol levels, while promoting deep relaxation through soothing touch, slower breathing, and a calm state of mind.
Fascial Tension
Bodywork relieves fascial tension by stretching and mobilizing the connective tissues, restoring elasticity, improving hydration, and reducing restrictive adhesions, which together enhance movement and ease discomfort.
“Being treated regularly with her knowledge and skill has made a noticeable difference. I have mobility, my pain is manageable, and I have the mental room to enjoy more of my life.”
— Anjolee W.
