Sarah Rhinelander is a licensed massage therapist with a practice on Westport Island in midcoast Maine. Sarah graduated from Downeast School of Massage in Waldoboro, Maine, where she studied Therapeutic Massage and Shiatsu.  Sarah combines Swedish massage, deep tissue techniques, Shiatsu (similiar to accupressure), Shamanic and other energy work to provide an intuitive, positive and holistic approach to healing. She expresses her philosophy of bodywork and healing as follows:

‘Safe and present touch has the ability to transform on every level. This transformative capacity lies not in a therapist’s hands, but in each person’s own inner healing process. A bodyworker is simply a catalyst that opens the way to the natural state of a person, which is health and balance. My greatest joy in this work is in seeing the positive changes that happen when people become conscious of, and reconnected to, their own personal power to heal.’

Since 2008 Sarah has provided therapeutic massage for those living or visiting Westport Island and the surrounding communities. As well as running her own private practice, she is also the massage therapist for the Squire Tarbox Inn on Westport, as well as the Snow Squall Inn and Wicked Good Yoga Studio in Wiscasset.  She also provides chair massage for local businesses, such as In the Clover in Wiscasset, and at craft fairs, hospitals  and charity fundraisers. She has worked with the Maine Sports Massage Team to provide massage to athletes at fund raising events and frequently donates her services to help those in need and to raise awareness of the benefits of massage and bodywork. Sarah is a member of American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and is Nationally Certified  by the NCBTMB as a Massage Therapist and Bodyworker.

Sarah is also an artist, gardener, sailor and restorer of old wooden boats, and works seasonally as a sternman on a lobsterboat. She is active in her island community, and helped create  the charitable organization Westport Island Human Resource Committee, which helps those on Westport Island who are elderly or in need. She completed a year long Advanced Shamanic Apprenticeship in 2010 and is now in a Shamanic mentoring program as a shamanic bodyworker. She continues to further her bodywork education and is currently working towards her Reiki Certification.
