Sally Hayes, CMT of Women in Self Healing (WISH)
Please introduce yourself (give us a brief bio about your education, training, practice, and any areas of specialization).
My name is Sally, and I have been a massage therapist for over two decades! My background is in Women’s Studies at the University of Georgia, which informs my focus and specialty at WISH: providing maternal wellness massage, which assists in better pregnancy and postpartum care to all bodies.
I trained in Clinical Sports Massage at the Atlanta School of Massage; Mercier Therapy with Dr. Jennifer Mercier; Fertility Massage with Hethir Rodriguez; Yoga Teacher Training with Lilah Schwartz, Kali Durga, and Kelly Wood; and Sound Healing school at the Institute of Sound and Consciousness.
I founded WISH to provide evidence-based bodywork from preconception through postpartum.
How did you become interested in working with fertility/maternal wellness clients, and what do you love most about it?
The most exciting part of working with people through the perinatal period is that you get to go along on the journey with your client. It’s so great to watch how the body changes during this process and how massage therapy can help alleviate anxiety through this time.
What piece of advice would you give your 16-year-old self (or other 16-year-olds) based on what you have learned (about life, fertility, or wellness)?
Drink Red Raspberry Leaf tea every day!
What do you do to feed your soul/joy?
Read and get into nature. Nothing makes me happier than a good book 😉
Do you have any other practitioner(s) you love who we should interview/get to know?
