First of all, I would like to share with you that I LOVE and am deeply gratified by what I do! I get to help facilitate people’s Health, Wellness and Wholeness through being grounded, upright, open, present, centered and calm.

Creating a healing atmosphere of calm for my clients is of great importance to me. I take the time to release my own energy by being physically active with fitness and dance, which also uplifts my spirits so I may be in a positive, calm state for others.

Here’s a short 4 minute podcast with the Professional Podcast Network where I talk about Sari Hands PLC.

In July of 2003, I created my solo practice and have been delighted to focus my attention on direct 1:1 care at my North Scottsdale location. I treat a diverse caseload of clients ranging from "welcome to the world" visits for newborns and infants to seniors.

Here’s a little history of what got me to this point in my career.

At age 14, I met with my high school guidance counselor and decided that I wanted to be an Occupational Therapist due to my love of helping people in creative ways. Who knew then that I would find ways to love my career throughout my career!

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin in Madison in 1981 with a Bachelor's degree in Occupational Therapy after spending my first year of college traveling and studying in Israel.

Following clinical internships in New York and California, I settled in Arizona to begin a decade of specialization in the treatment of hands and upper extremities. I worked with pre-and-post operative clients to assist with their pain management, range of motion, strength and function.

During several years with Medtronic and Empi demonstrating and selling electrotherapy products (TENS and muscle stimulators), I enjoyed educating therapists and physicians in AZ, NM, NV and TX.

After my son was born, I returned to my true love of client care, now with increased experience in the use of these therapy modalities, and a stronger sense of how I could truly help others.

This led to the co-creation of the Resolution Therapies Partnership and from 1997-2003 I was the Operations Director, supervising staff and business operations while continuing to develop my own client care techniques.   During this time, I studied with the International Alliance of Healthcare Practitioners (The Upledger Institute) and the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America (BCTA/NA) to complete over 1000 hours in Biomechanical and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and obtain certification as a Registered Craniosacral Therapist (RCST®) through a BCTA/NA approved program. http://www.craniosacraltherapy.org/

I have served on teaching teams with Michael Shea PhD for Craniosacral Therapy courses since 2003 in the US and Switzerland. https://www.sheaheart.com/

Over the years, I have presented to multiple groups, served on the Board of Directors and as a volunteer with Therapeutic Harp Foundation and given my time to events for Lactation consultants, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, The Parkinson’s Foundation and Detour Company Special Needs Theatre troupe.

I take great delight in doing work that I love and helping people through compassion-based therapy and I look forward to sharing your healing journey.
