Bio
 A native of the Shenandoah Valley and
1988 graduate of the College of William & Mary, Sarah Handley has worked
over thirty years in the healthcare industry, most recently in a private
massage therapy practice in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Trained
in medical massage at the Virginia School of Massage—Winchester and The
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Sarah is equally comfortable working
bedside in a healthcare setting or in practice with healthy clientele.
 An active
interest and practice of yoga led Sarah to the study of traditional Thai
massage, a branch of traditional Thai medicine that blends yoga and massage.
She studied with Pierce Salguero (author of The Encyclopedia of Thai
Massage and director of Tao Mountain,
a not-for-profit organization that serves as a resource on Thai massage and
traditional Thai medicine) and Nephyr Jacobsen (founder of the Naga Center in
Portland, OR, and author of Seven Peppercorns: Traditional Thai Medical
Theory For Bodyworkers).
In
2007, Sarah travelled to Thailand, further expanding her knowledge and skills
related to Thai healing arts.
