History

Established in 2004.

I am Sarah L Hicks the owner of Essential Elements. I began working with infrared light in 2004 on the Hawaiian Island Kauai. I worked with the local hospital treating Diabetic Neuropathy & over time expanded into treatment of many other soft tissue injuries & ailments.

In 2008 I moved to the Oregon Coast & went to the Oregon School of Massage in Portland where I studied Shiatsu & Trigger Point. I went on to specialize in Sports Injury at Portland State University’s Athletic Department.

Essential Elements is a blending of my training as a Massage Therapist, a Yoga Instructor in conjunction with Near Infrared Light therapy for chronic pain management & stress reduction.

My newest addition is a 4 – 5 person Infrared Sauna that is used for Detoxification, Weight loss, Lowering Blood Pressure as well as Stress & Chronic Pain Management.

Come enjoy a 90 minute massage followed by 30 minutes in a peaceful sauna where you can relax, integrate your session & detoxify.

Sarah L H.

Business Owner

I was raised in the foot hills of the Sierra Nevada’s by a Master’s prepared Nurse & my father was a Histologist who later studied Chinese Medicine & opened a pain management clinic in Reno, NV.

I studied medicine at an early age. At 15 I was a Certified Nursing Technician & Phlebotomist. I went on to study to be a Paramedic.

In 2002, after five years studying Western Medicine, I wanted to study more traditional styles of healing & I moved to Kauai where I lived & studied until 2008.

While on the island I learned about infrared light therapy & I opened a practice working with the local hospital & physicians treating soft tissue injuries & neuropathy.

In 2008 I moved to the Oregon Coast to take care of my families organic farm & studied to be a massage therapist in Portland.

In 2010 I began a new journey in education studying Yoga Therapy, a 2,000 hour, internationally acclaimed program where I continue to learn.

Essential Elements is a blending of these fields of study.
