Our Story

Planted in 2016 in Brooklyn, NY, and now thriving in Portland, OR, Sarah Maag Massage Therapy supports every body—because no two bodies are the same.

There is no one-size-fits all session. Every client deserves to tell their story and receive the massage their body needs that day.

— Sarah Maag LMT, Founder

Sarah Maag, LMT (she/her) uses a trauma-informed approach to come alongside clients to support, befriend and welcome healing into their bodies. After taking time to understand the current manifestations of injury, chronic pain or high stress and anxiety, she will use her broad training in Western and Eastern massage styles to search for root causes. During each session, she tailors the pressure, heat, and movement to most effectively support joint mobility, stress-relief and overall tissue health. Sarah always ends with a nugget to take home—stretches, breath work, Qi Gong—empowering clients to feel better so they can do things they love.

Sarah completed a rigorous 1000-hour AOS in Massage Therapy (2016) through Pacific College of Health and Science (then Pacific College of Oriental Medicine) in New York, NY where she thoroughly studied Kinesiology, Orthopedic Sports Massage, Chinese Tui Na and Acupoint massage as well as Japanese Shiatsu. She is a MaMassage® Prenatal therapist (24-hour) and uses the Pinpoint Dermoneuromodulation (DNM) Approach for nervous system massage, especially when connected to chronic pain.

Sarah’s first 5 years were spent building a group massage practice in bustling Downtown Brooklyn, NY before moving her family to the beautiful Pacific Northwest in 2021. When not massaging, Sarah enjoys reading with her three kiddos, practicing yoga, traveling with her husband and preparing delicious meals for friends.
