The Experience:

Sarah Misson is a 2013 graduate of the Finger Lakes School of Massage program. Immediately after massage school, she began specialized training in neck massage, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and passionately continued her interests in alternative healing. Her interest in the body's ability to hold information in tissue, as in how trauma is stored in the body and creates dysfunction is what has fueled her insatiable hunger to understand the body better, find resources for relief, and bring all of it forward to help those ready to open their minds to the power they have over their healing journey. Sarah offers integrative massage which means many modalities come together with her work and she just lets them flow. This includes attention to meridians (think acupuncture concepts), chakras, connective tissue therapy, fascial melting, and more. Castor oil is a staple in her practice and is an integral part of the massage she offers as it slows down the massage work and nourishes the body during the session. 

Hannah is a licensed massage therapist from the 2015 class at Finger Lakes School of Massage. After graduating, Hannah spent two years working in a local spa before setting out on her own and establishing Hannah Leseman Massage Therapy in Vestal, NY where she built a thriving practice. After closing her doors in 2020 to help her family navigate through Covid challenges, she is now joining Shear Paradise Salon and Spa to bring some peace, relaxation, and tranquility to the community.

“I am passionate about helping people feel their best. I love to build sessions based on the needs of my clients. There is no ‘one size fits all’ massage. I use a combination of modalities such as Swedish, deep tissue, and trigger point therapy to improve range of motion and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I am also avid about foot care and reflexology. I am so excited to be working locally and giving back to my community.”
