Hi ! I’m Sarah Bodary Swinney, the owner of The Root Wellness Center. I graduated from Vasar High School in 2008 and went on to receive my degrees in Business Management and in Personal Training. I started Bodary Fitness in 2011 and absolutely loved my job. However, I very quickly realized that most of my clients were struggling with serious issues that just personal training wasn’t going to correct. I decided to go back to school to become a Massage Therapist. I became a licensed massage Therapist in 2014 and took every additional certification course I could find (cupping, rock tape, fascia scraping etc.) I felt very confident in my skills, yet it bothered me that I was not able to relieve the pain of some of the clients, no matter what modality I used. I could really relate to this since I was born with hip dysplasia, scoliosis, and was in a couple of car accidents. I had been to countless doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists without receiving much relief from my pain. I had a couple of them even tell me that I would just be in pain the rest of my life. This is something I refused to accept for myself and refused to accept for my clients, so I continued to explore other avenues. I read books and took certification classes on subjects many would consider farfetched. I held onto what made sense to me, and I let go of beliefs that no longer served me. I learned that to truly heal we must heal as a whole: mind, body, and soul. I learned that our universe and bodies are electromagnetic, and we can actually heal with sound, vibration, and frequency. I now use massage therapy, personal training, nutrition, sound therapy, aromatherapy, energy work, and so much more to help facilitate you on your healing journey. I know that I still have so much left to learn, that I will never be done learning, but I feel confident that I have found the correct path. I am also a Holistic Doula and am in school to become a Doctor of Natural medicine. I am married to my wonderful husband Adam and we live in the country with our 7 cats, 6 chickens, and three goats. I look forwards to working with you and am truly honored to be part of your wellness journey.  

Sometimes you need to talk about what is bothering you. Sometimes you need to be quiet and just breathe. Sometimes you need to talk about something else entirely. We respect your needs and hold space for you along your healing journey. You have no obligation to talk about past or current traumas. You can still heal without discussing the story.
