My path as a massage therapist began over 15 years ago when I attended the Muscular Therapy Institute, in Watertown, MA. Muscular Therapy incorporates Swedish and Deep Tissue techniques. I am continuously drawn to learning techniques from teachers and modalities that effectively address and weave together the benefits of relaxation and therapeutic manual therapy - including CranioSacral Therapy, Lymphatic work, cupping, hot stones, Neuromuscular Therapy, orthopedic massage, maternity massage, Reflexology and fascial work.

I strive to offer a safe space and customized massage sessions that address pain reduction, increased awareness and mobility, as well as relaxation and stress reduction. When we deeply listen to stagnation within ourselves, a whisper of movement can often be a beneficial support to our whole system.

I draw inspiration from meditation, traveling, spending time in nature and rubbing my beagle’s belly. I am grateful and humbled to be part of this wellness team. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I look forward to working with you.

Kimberly Hagin

Registered Massage Therapist

kimberly.hagin95@gmail.com

Since I was young, I've enjoyed giving massage to my family and always thought I'd work in the profession. With great joy, I completed a 600 hour massage training program at Center for Massage and Natural Health in Asheville, North Carolina.


My massage style is deeply relaxing and nourishing to the mind and body. I use a balance of firm and soft pressure to move in and out of muscle bellies, spending extra time in areas of need. I particularly enjoy integrating thermotherapy (using heat), aromatherapy and reflexology.


With a foundation built upon natural health, movement based practices, meditation and relationship with nature, I wish to help others achieve a deep awareness of inner peace and balance by uplifting my clients and supporting their healing of physical and emotional trauma.

I look forward to meeting you on the table!


Yoga

Heidi Dwyer

Yoga Instructor

(802) 793-5819

dwire25@gmail.com

I am an RYT-200 Yoga Instructor currently teaching Gentle Flow Yoga, Chair Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Private Yoga Lessons, and organizing and facilitating Full Moon Circles.

“Honor the truth in your body.” This phrase guides my approach to teaching yoga. I believe that every “body” should be celebrated and that everyone can practice yoga. My goal is to meet students “where they are” by providing an open, caring, non-judgmental, and loving space in which to explore movement through safe alignment, maintaining balance in the breath, and building strength.

My personal love of yoga and my experience with the self-care that yoga brought into my life began over a decade ago and it continues to evolve and grow. My passions have always involved teaching and human service. I am a former gymnastics studio owner, para-educator, swim instructor, and women’s shelter volunteer. I enjoy spending time outdoors: kayaking, hiking, snowshoeing, and playing in my flowerbeds.

Acupuncture

Nicoleta Gudasz

Acupuncturist

802-730-4092

nicole.gudasz@gmail.com

Nicoleta has been practicing acupuncture since 2005 when she graduated from Tai Sophia Institute in Maryland with a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture. In her work, she incorporates various acupuncture styles and techniques such as Five Element Acupuncture, TCM, Auricular and NADA (Detoxification)Acupuncture alongside with other healing methods such as Aromatherapy, Cupping and GuaSha.

When talking about acupuncture, Nicoleta says: “I believe our bodies have an inherent power to heal themselves, and through acupuncture we can enhance this innate ability to self-regulate and heal from within. With my treatments I strive to create a state of deep relaxation and holistic wellness so people could have more ease, comfort and joy into their lives.

My journey in life is guided by one of my favorite mottos ”never stop wondering” and I find inspiration in Nature, where I spend a lots of time all year around observing the changes of the seasons. Also, I love spending time with my family, my husband and my two exuberant boys.

I am very excited to join the warm and caring group of practitioners at Sage Collective and I hope that my services can leap across cultural, linguistic and medical paradigms to reach people and their needs. This summer I also joined the wonderful team at Sana Rehabilitation Center in Stowe, where I provide individualized treatments for addictions.

Shiatsu

Tony Gandolfo

Shiatsu Practitioner

tonygandolfo@gmail.com -

(978) 237-7976

My journey into massage therapy began when I attended Johnson State College in 2012 

with a focus in alternative medicine. Going forward from that experience, I knew that 

massage therapy would be a lifelong passion of mine. In 2020, I went forward to pursue a 

500 hour shiatsu certification from the Zen Shiatsu School of Vermont in Brattleboro, VT.

In my treatments, I aim to strengthen my client's ability to self-heal by first diagnosing 

any energetic disharmonies within their body. I follow by stretching, rotating and applying balanced 

pressure to energetic pathways (meridians) along the body.

I strive to inspire deep and lasting positive changes within my clients through mindful and 

nurturing touch. I enjoy spending my time hiking in the mountains, biking, gardening 

and playing music. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. 

I look forward to working with you!
