Sarah Minen LMT

Sarah has always done such an amazing job when working on my hips. She listens to what I can tell her about my issues and is able to work out the problems. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a massage therapist. more

My first visit to Sarah was amazing. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofascial Pain. My left arm had shooting nerve pain and I could barely lift my coffee cup.\r \r I found Sarah to be very knowledgeable about trigger points, was able to get them release and provided my with a great deep tissue massage that also relieved my pain. Can't wait to go back! Strongly recommend :) more

My experience with Sarah was tremendous! I have not received a massage before and she made me feel very comfortable, was extremely personable, and went to great lengths to understand my specific situation and needs before going to work on me--this especially was important to me. \r \r She made a marked and lasting difference on what has been very tight deep tissue in my neck and shoulders. It felt completely different when I left then it has for years, and she sent me with a stretch recommendation to be practicing.\r \r Sarah clearly knows what she is doing, has the arm and hand strength to do it well, and I will be visiting her again as I continue to complete my physical therapy.\r more

Sarah is professional and kind. You can tell she really cares about what she is doing. She provides and amazing massage! I had some lower back pain and she helped it. Going to see her again! more

Sarah is wonderful! She has really good energy and she really cared about where I hurt and knew how to relieve the pain. I love a good deep tissue massage and need it to help me deal with the pain of fibromyalgia, and I am picky about massage. Sarah fit the bill and went above and beyond. I really appreciate her attitude, understanding, and level of knowledge. more

Sarah is an excellent massage therapist, her technique and hand strength something she should brag about. You can tell she keeps up on her craft and loves what she does. She if very well trained and intuitive to the needs of her clients. I absolutely loved my experience with her and I loved the music she played. A PERFECT MASSAGE. I am definitely going back to her. Thank you Sarah! more

Sarah excels in massage therapy. She is very friendly and sincerely cares about her clients. One day I woke with excruciating neck pain and could barely move my head. I did an online search and found her web site and the reviews here. I liked her blogs and was impressed with all of the 5 star reviews. Sarah returned my call quickly and we set up an appointment for a few days away. The same day Sarah had a cancellation and knowing the awful pain I was in, she called and asked if was available and if I wanted to take the cancelled time. I jumped at the opportunity and saw her that day. My tight muscles wouldn't allow Sarah to apply much pressure, but Sarah was very attentive to my pain and adjusted her techniques and pressure and she worked out as much tension as my body would allow. Now that my body is healing, Sarah is able to exert more pressure and I am feeling much better. Sarah is professional and loves her job. She is enthusiastic and loves helping her clients feel better. Her office is located very close to downtown and the University of Utah and her location makes it convenient for me to see her during the day or after work. I feel very fortunate to have found such a great massage therapist--THANK YOU SARAH!!! You are the best! more

I developed a repetitive strain injury (RSI) after spending way too many hours working at the computer. I literally couldn't click the mouse one more time or do anything at all with my hands. They just hurt too much. After doing my research one book gave me some sobering advice given the extreme degree of my injury: ""you MUST seek professional help if you hope to fully recover"". Trigger point massage was highly recommended for promoting healing, and so with my career on the line I sought out a massage therapist. Luckily I found Sarah on my first search, and she's everything I could've asked for: professional, knowledgeable, nice, and superstrong. She knows the right questions to ask, really listens, and tailors your treatment accordingly. With her help I can now do daily activities completely pain-free, and I am slowly building up my computer time. As a side benefit, I've relearned what it feels like to be relaxed and am much more aware of how my habits and work affect my health. I can't recommend Sarah enough! more

WOW! I've been getting deep tissue treatments for the past 8yrs and have never been so satisfied as I was with Sarah's work. She was not only very knowledgeable of the muscle work she was doing, but she talked me through each step and commented on my status... it was very professional and so relieving! I will continue to see her weekly for such amazing comfortable treatment! Thank you Sarah!!!! more

When I contacted Sarah, she got back to me within a few hours and I had an appointment quickly. She's really professional and nice. I had serious pain in my upper and lower back, but after an hour of vigorous massage, it was gone. I thought that I'd still feel at least a little pain the next day, but I didn't. Sarah also recommended yoga and showed me some stretches to help open up my upper chest and back so I can keep the areas relaxed. It seems to be working. Overall, it was a great experience. If/when the pain comes back, I'll definitely give Sarah a call again. more

This is one of the best massages I've ever had at any price, including at fancy New York or L.A. spas. The fact that she's so reasonably priced is just a bonus! Sarah was really pleasant, put me at ease, and created a great atmosphere. I asked for just a pretty basic massage, and got what I wanted and much more. She did some really innovative things during the massage, like lots of muscle stretching in addition to massaging, and also placing hot washcloths in strategic areas to enhance the experience. And the music she chose was so great I asked her for the playlist! I would totally recommend her, and I'm definitely going back. more

I just went to Sarah for a massage. I had a lot of tension in my neck, shoulders, and upper back; Sarah was able to find the specific sore muscles and provided me great relief. (My posture is better now too!) I felt very comfortable with Sarah. She is friendly and professional and the massage lasted the entire 90 minutes. Sarah was quick to return my call requesting an appointment and was able to accommodate my schedule. Her studio is neat, clean, and the music was great! I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for an excellent massage at an affordable price. more

I have had many massages from many different places, and many different people, suffering from neck and back pain. Anyone that has specific neck pain knows that it is very hard to find a massage therapist who will spend enough time on your neck, and also be able to do deep tissue massage without it being painful. I also get tension headaches, which Sarah relieved.When I went to Sarah my body was in heaven. Sarah is extremely thorough and I feel that she only ends the massage when she feels the body work is done, not just the minute that the time is up. I can tell she really cares about meeting my needs. She also does a full 60 minute hands on, instead of the 50 minutes hands on and time to dress. She also put this amazing heating pad on my back and eyes, no one has ever done that before! It made it the perfect experience. Her home is also a very comfortable environment but also very professional. I love Sarah! Thank you! more

I accidentally came across Sarah through a review site as I was researching back pain. I have a Thoracic strain and made an appointment with her in hopes it would alleviate the pain. She was very professional, she was kind and friendly. The massage was great, one of the best I've had, soothing, relaxing and my back has been feeling better since the session. I made an appointment for another before I left the first appointment. Highly recommend. more

I am happy to have met Sarah first before going somewhere else for a massage. She is very knowledgeable in massage therapy. I have never had a massage experience like the one she gave me. She is knowledgeable and professional Thank you Sarah! more

I have spent a lot of time(years) in pain due to my Rheumatoid Arthritis flare ups and I have tried to find a massage therapist that I can rely on. Finally with Sarah I have just that. I have been using a cane and barely been able to walk for quite some time now, but after just one session with Sarah I am remarkably improved. I was so impressed with her knowledge and skills that I scheduled a follow up appointment directly after my massage. I know that Sarah is the answer to my pain plea. (Regardless to as cheesy as that may sound) She is extremely knowledgeable about the body and the best ways to treat it and has a genuine concern for her clients and their comfort. I am so grateful that I found a massage therapist away from a big spa environment where service and a great massage are rarely combined. Sarah?s prices are fantastic and really inexpensive considering how great she is. I have had cheap and really expensive massages and Sarah is without comparison the best I have ever experienced. Thank you Sarah for helping me feel like a normal person again by alleviating some of my pain. Whitney more

I was experiencing a great deal of pain in my hips, hip flexotrs, and front of my thighs-- it seemed to be spreading to different areas each day when I woke up! I was gettting desparate-- it seemed to be spreading to another body part every time I blinked! i found Sarah's name on Google, and shs immediately responded and I got in to see her within a couple of days. Her knowledge of the body and her intelligent questions about my lifestyle and pain history made me feel at ease, as did her comfortable massage area in her home and her easy, thoughtful attitute about how my muscles were behaving. She helped evry muscle in my body, even those I had given up on as being chronically or permanently tight. Here rates were surprisinglly reasonable and I will definitely be going back to her as soon as possible! I highly recommend her to all who are experiencing pain, especially if stretching/yoga do not seem to touch that pain! Be sure to drink a lot of water after the massage, because through her deep massage techniques, there are a lot of toxins released in your body and they need to be flushed out. Thank you, Sarah, and I'll be seeing you soon! more

I have had several massages from multiple providers and several different modalities. I am GREATLY impressed with Sarah! She gives a fantastic massage using a variety of advanced techniques. She is one of my absolute favorite Masseuses. I especially enjoyed her couple massage lesson. She helped my wife and me learn and develop techniques that we can use on each other for a variety of ailments. Sarah's rates are very reasonable, her studio is clean and relaxing. She really goes the extra mile to make sure that you are comfortable and relaxed. I will be returning soon and often! more

I would definitely recommend Sarah Minen to anybody. I've had massages from other people before and I thought they were great but she is even better. I work as a CNA and have had back pain related to my job. After a session with her my back pain is gone. Thank you Sarah! more

Sarah is a great massage therapist that I would highly recommend. I hurt my back and neck in a skiing accident that was very similar to whiplash. In one massage Sarah had relieved most of the muscle tension and strain in my neck and upper back providing immediate pain relief and restored the range of motion in my neck. She is very knowledgeable about human anatomy and has very strong hands that are capable of breaking up the toughest knots of muscle tension. I am grateful that she was able to relieve the pain from my skiing injury and I am back on the slopes again. Now I go for massages to work on chronic muscle tension and bad posture issues. It is nice to have her support in my healing journey. Give her a try, you won't regret it. more
