I have received bodywork from LuAnne fairly regularly for the past several years and I can say, with great confidence, that she is without a doubt one of the most well-rounded and sophisticated bodyworkers I have ever met.  Her 12+ hears in practice, along with years of various post-graduate training, shapes her work in to a very unique blend of reliable intuition and skillful technique.  LuAnne has an amazing (and rare) peaceful, calming presence for a bodyworker who can accomplish so much in a session.  Whether the work has been nourishing and integrative or deeply targeted around pain relief, I have always left my sessions feeling like my requests have been attended to with great care and skill, while feeling a boost to my overall vitality.  As an Advanced Rolfer and Rolfing instructor, I have trained hundreds of bodywork students through Basic Rolfing Training as well as in various continuing education classes; I hold LuAnne’s work with the highest regard and recommend her to anyone seeking all the goals bodywork has to offer.

I have known LuAnne for the better part of 5 years as a friend, massage therapist, and client.  She is one of the most unique and deep hearted people I know.  Her dedication toward quality of life for herself and others is unparalleled.  As a massage therapist, she has helped me rehabilitate from major cycling and lifting injuries.  Her intuitive nature of listening to the body and providing what is needed has kept me competitive year after year.  As a client of my personal training practice, it has been wonderful to have been a part of her journey to another realm of health and well being.  She is constantly setting new and achievable goals for herself and then diligently working toward them.  LuAnne is a feeler, give, caretaker and friend.  I cherish my relationship with her.

It has been four months since the last of my three NFT sessions. In the three weeks between each of these sessions, I experienced insights into my behavior and thoughts that I had never been able to access before but somehow seemed so obvious afterward. But the value of NFT has become even more clear to me with time. NFT allowed me to let go of my judgments and criticisms of myself and I have found a love for myself that has been amazingly liberating. I am now able to speak my truth; I am able to ask for what I need and want from the people in my life. And more importantly, I can trust myself to act in my own best interests instead of habitually putting everyone else’s requests, needs, and desires before my own. In the past I might have viewed this as selfish, now I recognize that it is only by loving and giving to myself that I can give freely, without conditions, to another. I am overwhelmingly grateful for the lessons I have learned through NFT and to LuAnne for her completely open and gentle guidance to self-forgiveness and self-love.

LuAnne is a gifted and professional massage therapist who offers a therapeutic sanctuary to her clients. As my life has changed, LuAnne has shown how adaptive her practice is – working with me on postpartum aches and pains, carrying stress from a busy career filled with air travel, and now sports massage. I consider myself lucky to have found her.

Whereas some people view massage as a relaxing treat only to be indulged at special times, I view massage as a cornerstone of my health and well-being. With regular massage appointments, I remain healthy and resilient regardless of how stressful my life becomes or what colds or flues I encounter during my travels. Importantly, any aches or pains that come from aging, exercise, or even the perils of wearing fabulous, but too-high shoes are massaged away by LuAnne rather than becoming chronic problems. Massage helps me remain flexible and fluid, it increases my circulation, stimulates my lymphatic system, and delivers a lasting sense of nurturing. To me, it’s an enjoyable form of self-maintenance that keeps me functioning in tip-top shape. The special value of LuAnne Sugar’s work is the vastness of her training, the strength of hands, and the excellent quality of her work. She is able to assess what I need weekly and tailor each session for maximum results and healing. Her training and talent is outstanding, indeed. Plus, there’s added bonus that LuAnne’s massages are very pleasurable and provide an immediate sense of calm and a lasting sense of well-being. In that way they always are a special treat.

Massages with LuAnne are not only heavenly, but they also help me physically. I can keep an active lifestyle because my body feels right. Before I started having massages with LuAnne, I couldn’t walk long distances because of a large bunion on my foot. Because of her vast knowledge of the body and her years of experience, LuAnne has helped me overcome some major physical difficulties, especially after my hip replacement operation. I feel like the luckiest person in the world when I’m having a massage with LuAnne!!

LuAnne is great. NFT is great. LuAnne + NFT is really great.

I’m a hard-case customer, I’m sure. My activities leave me with quite a few knots and I occasionally have pain from accumulated stress. LuAnne has a knack for finding all those knots and kneading them out. She restores circulation to the areas which are stagnated or increases circulation to areas which are injured. She’s careful, thorough, and has great attention to details. With the kinds of knots my activities create, deep-tissue sport massage is not without some pain, but between the pain is bliss. The way she works you is poetic. Her music and the atmosphere she creates will definitely make you feel like royalty. I’ve had massage from others, but no one else comes close.

I have been a client of LuAnne for many years and can attest to the quality of her massage. She has hands that “know” and I have walked away from many massages feeling not just relaxed, but improved. Now that I have also experienced NFT with LuAnne I know why – her healing abilities far surpass the massage modality. That feeling of improvement is not just physical and it is not that she or her hands “know.” Rather, she allows knowing that is beyond space/time/identity, to collaborate with her and her client for the highest good of all involved. The NFT session left me feeling deeply calibrated, tuned and attuned; healthy beyond the cellular level. For me, one session accomplished what 2 years of psychotherapy or 6 months of life-coaching or 365 shots of wheatgrass could. NFT is a dynamic and vital way to maintain body/mind/heart/soul health and LuAnne Sugar is a gifted practitioner. When you co-participate with LuAnne as an NFT client, you’ll be in good hands.

There comes a time in everyone’s life when even the most confident and well-balanced individual realizes that they have no control and must take a long hard look at their place in the world. Noetic Field Therapy helps you to come to terms with your changing relationship with the world and helps you to accept your physical and spiritual self regardless of what unexpected events come your way. I would highly recommend it to anyone who finds themselves struggling to come to terms with the inevitable consequences of life. Experiencing NFT with LuAnne was a major turning point in my struggle to deal with death, health issues and a fear of losing control over things which I discovered I never had any control over to begin with.
