SARAH SHOEN, LMT

Instructor

Sarah is a graduate of the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy, and is a full-time massage therapist in Newport, Rhode Island. She has owned and run her business, little bird wellbeing, since 2018. Sarah attended Rhode Island College and received a B.A. in Psychology and studied physical therapy at South College in Asheville, North Carolina prior to attending massage school. Sarah has returned to CRSMT, both as a teaching assistant and instructor.

With over ten years of collective experience, Sarah has developed her own style and technique with bodywork, based on mindful awareness and intuition. She is enthusiastic about learning, creating, and observing human connection, as well as embracing the art of imperfection and full-body acceptance. She is devoted to her work, clients, community, and students. She continues to develop the practice of mindfulness through manual therapy and meditation techniques. When Sarah isn’t at the shop or teaching at CRSMT, she spends most of her time staring at the ocean, drinking too much coffee, camping, and reading.
