My name is Sara Friske and I am the owner and Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist of Align Bodywork. I received training at Blue Sky School of Professional Massage & Therapeutic Bodywork in their Medical Intensive Track. I am also a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, working primarily in acute and subacute patient care from 2014-2021 with all types of patients, but primarily those with neurological and cardiovascular diagnoses. With this unique background, I welcome working with clients that might be more medically complex and not necessarily comfortable going just anywhere. Lastly, I am also a NASM Certified Personal Trainer.

Personally, I am very passionate about all aspects of wellness and very much practice what I preach. Outside of the office I am probably training for some sort of race, spending time with my husband and dogs, traveling, enjoying time in nature, or indulging in too much coffee. I have completed 1 full Ironman triathlon, several half Ironman triathlons and ultramarathons, along with many other types of endurance races.

Continuous learning is a passion of mine. It is common for me to be attending over 40 hours of continuing education a year and reading textbooks about movement, the human body, or personal growth.

Bodywork appointments with me are primarily therapeutic. Relaxation & a low stimulation environment are present as I feel strongly about working with the nervous system, but targeted muscle work and movement are the key components. The most common way clients have described my style of work is “intentional”. If you are seeking long, flowing Swedish massage strokes and hot stones or towels, I will not be the best fit for your needs at this time.

I look forward to working with you and developing a treatment plan together to keep your body, mind, and passions aligned.
