Local Athlete Sponsorship

Many professional athletes are on their own when it comes to training and preparation and don't have the funds to afford deep tissue massage or sports massages. LoDo Massage Studio has decided to help these hard working athletes through a massage sponsorship program. Our first sponsored athlete is Professional Distance Runner Sarah Stanley.

Meet Sarah
Many folks have asked Sarah Stanley if she's been running all of her life, and she tells them yes, but it’s not running alone that’s propelled her across the finish line of so many marathons and ultra-marathons. Sarah was born and grew up on one of the first certified organic farms in the country, and it’s from this beginning, toiling day in and out on the farm and not only learning about but living a plant-based, healthful lifestyle that provided the solid foundation for who she is today. But if running is Sarah's soul and a healthy lifestyle her body, then the last remaining factor, and what molded her into the athlete and person she is today is freedom of the mind. As an ultra endurance athlete, Sarah knows that one can reach that golden moment of the runner’s high where you know you’re going to make it to the finish line no matter what, but how does one get to that point? Sarah's learned that being healthy and pushing oneself is not enough: it’s about taking full control of your mind in order to achieve that wholeness of being, so you can truly live freely.

Sarah's been running for over two decades: 42 marathons / ultramarathons (including qualifying for the Boston Marathon) in the last 10 years, and all the while passing on her running knowledge as an RRCA (Road Runners Club of America) certified-running coach. Along with 30 years of applied knowledge in organic nutrition, Sarah teaches and firmly believes and lives by the motto that one must live with mind + body + spirit in perfect harmony.

Besides ultra trail running, Sarah enjoys Kombucha yoga, weightlifting, road cycling, climbing 14ers (tall mountains), organic food, and, of course, fueling her adventures with a healthy dose of hemp. As the founder of Wellprint, #wellnesschat, and the author of LIVE FREELY, Sarah shares her passion for health, wellness, fitness and real organic food on a daily basis through traditional and social media. Sarah has also been featured in SELF, SHAPE, Ladies’ Home Journal, and Washingtonian.

When Sarah's not sharing her passions or running a marathon, she can be found inside cooking a healthful, plant-based organic meal. Because, in the end, Sarah not only talks the talk, but walks—or rather, runs—the walk!
