Sarah Cohen’s Summary

I am a therapeutic massage therapist dedicated to providing excellent service to my clients at a reasonable price.
A graduate of McIntosh College in Dover New Hampshire, I am licensed in the States of New Hampshire and Maine as a Massage Therapist. My attainment of a Reiki Level II practitioner has allowed me to offer a broader spectrum of services to my clientele than ever before. I bring a fresh enthusiasm to the field, as well as over 6 years of personal experience in the massage therapy field. My personal and professional experiences have led me to where I am today.
I work with my clients to improve their wellbeing and comfort through massage. I also maintain a friendly, fair, and creative work environment, which respects diversity, ideas, and hard work.

Owner / Massage Therapist

Sarah Cohen

(Alternative Medicine industry)

September 2005 — Present (4 years 4 months)

Working in Southern NH with a service area that encompasses the Hillsborough and Merrimack Counties, Sarah Cohen is an outcall massage therapist.
Outcall massage is a type of massage in which a massage therapist travels to a client, rather than the other way around. I offer massage therapy in people's homes, hotel rooms, and businesses, among other places, bringing any necessary equipment with me to the session and packing it up at the end of the day. Just as with massage in a spa or massage studio, outcall massage can offer a number of different styles and options.
