What to Expect at Flowstate
Your session is meant to be a pause. A space for your body to soften, release, and remember balance.
Here’s what you can expect when you come in:
For Bodywork: Arrival
Please arrive close to the start time of your appointment and text Sarah upon arrival..Once inside, we’ll take a moment to talk about what’s present for your body—any areas of tension, pain, or emotional weight you’re carrying—and what you’re hoping to receive from the session.
During Your Bodywork Session
Each session is tailored to your body’s needs and pace. Using a blend of techniques—like myofascial release, gentle or deeper massage, and craniosacral therapy—Sarah works slowly and intentionally, with attuned pressure to help your system release and recalibrate.
You don’t need to “do” anything. Some clients talk, some rest quietly, some drift into deep relaxation. All of it is welcome.
After Your Session
You may leave feeling lighter, taller, calmer, or more connected. Some clients notice a wave of emotional release, or simply a deeper sense of ease that unfolds over hours or days. We’ll give you space to ground before heading back into your day.
What to Wear & Other Notes
For massage sessions, you’ll be draped with sheets and blankets, undressing to your comfort level.
For craniosacral or lighter work, you’ll remain fully clothed in comfortable attire.
This is a trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming space.
For Breathwork: Arrival
Please arrive close to the start time of your appointment and text Sarah upon arrival..Once inside, we’ll take a moment to talk about what’s present for your body—any areas of tension, pain, or emotional weight you’re carrying—and what you’re hoping to receive from the session.
During Your Breathwork Session:
The Breathwork Session follow a "conscious connected" breath style. Each session will be guided by a your guide, Sarah, and a special music track that she had created for you. Music is used to stimulate the limbic brain, which support the processing and regulating of emotion. Each session is done lying down and lasts 2 hours.

After Your Session
It’s highly encouraged to take the rest of the day easy. If you can, spend the day moving slowly and quietly. Nourish yourself with hydrating food, surround yourself with beautiful music and immerse yourself in nature or with loved ones.

Life moves unpredictably, and I understand that delays can happen. To honor the flow of the day and the sessions that follow, late arrivals may not receive extensions of scheduled time. When possible, and if the schedule allows, a partial or full session may be accommodated at the practitioner’s discretion with advance notice of delay. If you arrive late, your session may be shortened to maintain the schedule, and the full session fee will still apply.

Flowstate Bodywork is a professional, non-sexual practice with a zero-tolerance policy for any form of sexual harassment, including inappropriate comments, solicitations, or touch — such behavior will result in immediate termination of the session, removal from the property, and contact with authorities. This work is built on mutual respect, safety, and open communication. You are encouraged to share honest feedback at any time about comfort, pressure, temperature, or technique — your awareness guides the session. Clients are always modestly draped, and only the area being worked on will be undraped; the breast and genital areas are never massaged. You may wear as much clothing as you wish, decline any method, or end the session at any time. Your comfort, autonomy, and boundaries are essential to this work.
