Body Wisdom Sanctuary — Local services in New York

I have been going to Body Wisdom Sanctuary for the last 4 months or so now I was recommended by a friend that had been to it and had a lot of great things to say. I will have to say my overall experience has been a lot better than I had expected. Siewil has a way of talking and also very personal touch too when it comes to body work period so for me during our sessions we will talk about different things as she's working in different body parts for example when I first went to her I had some concerns about my digestion and she has a lot of different views from traditional medicine to eastern medicine when it comes to digestion and sometimes where your body may be feeling or expressing or hiding certain parts about your digestion. So I had a body massage as well as stomach massage which was very interesting 'cause I had never had a stomach massage in my life. Now this was definitely interesting and felt weird but there was different times where she had expressed to me where certain parts of my body would have tension built into based on from my diet for example certain parts of your feet your your calves your legs your thighs your back and how it's kinda all interconnected. I felt this was definitely an experience for me and a very intimate touch when it comes to this type of work. I have nothing but great things to say I have experienced relief from my stomach to deep tissue massage and overall fantastic experience I would definitely recommend anybody who has an open mind too try body work if they haven't tried traditional massage just before. And there's also a personal touch to it during the time we have as well as conversationally talking about where do you feel pain are you willing to try this are you trying this and overall I am very happy and I will continue to do this and I have recommended it to some of my friends as a great way to include this into your overall body care. So bit of a rant but this is kind of how I am but overall I have nothing but fantastic things to say and this has been a great experience for me...

Rarely in life, we are touched by the presence of a powerful soul with a radiant and loving heart—and even more rarely, with the versatile skill set to heal and restore…as if by magic. Saras Siewli is all this and more, and nothing short of masterful in her art. She seamlessly weaves and integrates a vast body of wisdom into her own embodied practice with her own unique soul signature. To give a taste: she took me on a journey that first relaxed my body, bringing together myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and her mastery of thai massage, then moved to increasingly subtle layers of my being with energy work, sound healing, and her own special signature. In a short time, she not only restored long-standing, supposedly “irresolvable” issues in my body to health, but safely brought me into a receptive state to fully absorb profound emotional and spiritual healing as I reconnected with the deepest place inside myself. The seamless interweaving of all these forms make receiving an experience of healing with Saras Siewli a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity that no one else could perform. Her wisdom, her presence, her depth and humility, combined with her embodied knowledge, her empathy and emotional brilliance, make it a special treat, both fulfilling during the session and long-lasting in its healing effects. As Shakespeare put it, “though she be but little, she is fierce”…and yet, that wouldn’t do the miracle of Saras Siewli justice: her mastery is infused with her kindness, care, and true generosity of heart. If you’ve found your way to this review, you are a blessed soul indeed, because you’ve already come so close into the field of a rare and priceless jewel in the ocean of life. Take the leap, and let yourself enjoy the special grace that Saras Siewli brings with...

I found Siewli at a time when I really needed healing in my life. I was suffering from Lyme disease for 6 months and every part of my body ached incessantly, and energetically and emotionally I was depleted. Throughout our time together, Siweli has been extremely sensitive in her touch and intuitive in her draw to the areas of my body that needed the most healing. One of the things I appreciated from our session was her compassion, which prevails in every gesture. When I arrived she asked me if there was anything going on physically or emotionally that I would like to share. It is so rare in our society to have someone who doesn't rush through the process of any appointment and treat it like a business interaction - instead going to her space is like a peaceful refuge away from NYC where time stops, and she cares for you, holistically. She has a kindness in her eyes and touch that asks for you to relax and let go. Seeing Siewli for about 2 months now has greatly helped my range of motion, my abilities in my own Yoga practice, my inflammation, as well as the  release of deep trauma I have stored deep inside. Above all, I’m able to walk with my head up, and my heart open every time I leave a session. This is truly the voyage that Siewli takes me through, leaving me  relaxed and open to whatever may come.  I’m so grateful to have the steady presence of this great healer and beautiful human...
