I aim to help you gain ease of movement and room for life by observing, discussing, and working through imbalances in strength and muscle tone, functional habits, restricted tissues and the like. Education is a primary endeavor in most sessions, as learning about the unique qualities of your body and what they mean for your own strategy at home means you make better progress in and outside my office. Everyone is welcome, but I specialize in working with:
headaches and migraines
hypermobility disorders and related conditions: immune hypersensitivity, autoimmunity, mast cell activation syndrome...
injuries
unknown causes
Above all, I aim to work with those who have failed to find relief, answers, or solutions anywhere else. Whether or not we find I am able to help you directly I will do my best to help you find ways forward--including referral to other specialists. Contact me for a free consultation: sarah@lightspiritstudio.com.
Our goal for these sessions is piecemeal, relevant education and navigation. We address systemic care gaps for chronic, complex illness--primarily by getting you to the right people, but also by helping you:
work through formal, validated assessments for undiagnosed hypermobility & sensitivity related conditions
better understand the basics of your diagnosed MCAS or hypermobility related conditions (toward stronger self-advocacy & management)
review your untold health history to create a strategic, condensed, and thorough summary for your healthcare team
find high quality educational resources
connect your providers with networks for referral, mentorship, and further education
access advocates in other specialties, such as accessing SSDI benefits, working out insurance denials, or navigating conditions outside my experience and training.
sign up (via a quick email message) to participate in our local group affiliated with The Ehlers-Danlos Society: Santa Fe Hypermobility Resources Group (feel free to join with MCAS, immune, and mystery health concerns as well--many events cross over in reach, and since this group is made up of people with oddball health issues, you may find helpful recommendations among members regardless of what is going on)
let me know of any interest in classes listed here--we start planning anytime we have a few people on the list
local journal club for healthcare providers and practitioners of any modality--contact katie@lahoyahealth.com or sarah@lightspiritstudio.com
Please call to schedule a free consultation via phone, video, or in person. No commitment necessary--this offering is to allow us to assess what work we can expect to accomplish together.
Standard Rate: $120 for the first hour for any combination of bodywork and advocacy services.
Session Upgrade: $40 self-pay for each additional half hour (can be used to extend 60 minute insurance-based sessions).
Billing Surcharge: $20/session to cover administration and billing services for sessions not paid in full at time of service.
Advocacy Packages: not yet configured--in-session advocacy work is under the standard rate; out-of-session advocacy work is still free of charge as many efforts also go toward building generic resources that can be shared with others at low cost or free.
Sliding Scale: yes--please inquire. I charge a relatively high fee so that I can afford to lower rates for those who need it--I'd rather see you moving up in the world than waiting until you can come in at full-price. Don't be shy to ask what we can work out.
Tips & Donations Policy: not at all expected, but welcome. These are used to provide lower cost care for those who need it; as I work with many chronically ill clients, available funds are applied regularly. I'm considering setting up a 501c3 to manage donations formally. Please inquire if this is of any interest--I know you're out there.
Zelle*, Venmo*, Paypal*, HSA, debit/credit, cash, check. (HIPAA disallows payment requests; you're welcome to use links here or my QR codes available on site)
Cigna: I'll just need your insurance ID, date of birth, name, and address associated with your policy. Please bring your card to your first appointment.
Mi Via: Requires prior setup.
Blue Cross Blue Shield: Not yet, but hopefully soon... I'm applying to credential with BCBS. This is a slow process but I could know by Spring 2026.
Health Savings Accounts/Reimbursements: If documentation will support you in seeking reimbursement from another insurance plan or through your HSA I'll be glad to provide it. I'll be working on having the ability to accept HSA card payments--let me know if you'd like me to speed up that effort.
VA Benefits: I look forward to beginning to work with VA funding sometime in 2026--be in touch to let me know if you'll benefit from my speeding up that effort.
Medicare: I may be able to start offering limited coverage for advocacy in 2026. Please let me know if this is relevant for your case.
Out-of-Network Billing: No guarantees, but we can inquire with my biller about your case.
Other Insurances: Most don't offer contracts to massage therapists, but optimizing for client access is of very high priority to me. Feel free to let me know what insurance you're with and I'll renew my inquiries.
Available upon request.
I'll be happy to donate gift certificates for fundraisers whenever possible.
