Massage is a very personal thing. And how we are from one day to the next presents different personal care needs. Sari Spieler believes that there is no massage "routine" or "formula" that is best for all sessions, or all clients. Sari’s work blends deep and experienced understanding of the mechanics and function of the body with a unique ability to listen well to all levels of the physical and mental fields. Change is the only constant, and from her personal experience of recovery, she knows that it can change in the directions we consciously choose.
Stress, injury history, and our compensations for all that life challenges us with, leave a personalized imprint that flavors our lives. With 19 years of experience to draw from, Sari provides both clinical expertise and keen intuition to support you in treatment. More importantly, she helps you gain awareness of changes in patterns and apply them to your daily life. Can what you gained in comfort and ease in the body or mind become an influence to choices you make beyond the session? Sari believes that by witnessing the wisdom you discover in yourself, you can enjoy life even more fully.
Sari’s repertoire includes:
Massage Therapy - Care that impacts your joints, muscles, connective tissue, organs and alignment.
Support for Wellness and Vitality, improving conditions that impact your life
Injury Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention
Body Mechanics Coaching, Awareness Building and Ergonomic Consultations
Stress Reducing Energetic Techniques

Massage and Self-Care Instruction for TMJ Dysfunction

Acutonics - Sound Healing with Tuning Forks
Sound vibrations can touch the body where hands can't reach. This work can be very calming to the nervous system, and also ease muscle tightness, and aid organ function. Sari uses tuning forks at specific points on and around the body, applying principles of cranio sacral therapy, energy centers, traditional oriental medicine meridian theory.
Flower Essence Support for Emotional and Mental Well Being
Aston-Patterning® is an approach to treatment that considers the way we move and use the natural asymmetry of our bodies in relationship to gravity. Some holding patterns in our bodies are structural, and others are re-enforced by habits. An Aston session might include bodywork, movement, and specific analysis of daily activities. You will learn how to explore efficient movement in everything you do. Making adjustments to your home and work environments, and even your car seat, can support you to feel more comfort and have more energy.
As the only certified Aston-Patterning@ Practitioner on Whidbey Island, Sari utilizes a blend of bodywork, movement re-education, ergonomic coaching, and fitness training, that respects the asymmetry of our bodies, and our lives. She recently gained certification in Aston Senior Fitness for Living, a program for seniors that helps them become strong, stable, and flexible and applying those gains to the Activities of Daily Life!
Aston-Patterning can be extremely effective for:
• Acute or chronic pain
• Repetitive strain injury
• Improved posture
• Improved body awareness
• Improved athletic performance
• Used as a part of a personal development process
