Sparrow is an intersection of health, beauty, art, nature, and good old Brooklyn magic
Massage therapist and Reiki wizard, Ariel Sheldon teamed forces with Caroline Bach hairstylist, colorist and beauty maven to create Sparrow; a place of health and good grooming. Nestled steps away from the subway, this charming Greenpoint space offers a naturally relaxed and genuinely inspired experience.About Caroline
My work began to shine when i learned to balance skill with inspiration, it began to sparkle and glow when i learned to draw inspiration from my clients.
I began my hairdressing career in Boston in 2000. The following year, I moved to New York where I completed three grueling yet magnificent apprenticeships. I studied with the best from Vidal Sassoon, Toni and Guy and Bumble; developing a varied, well rounded skill set. For the past eight years I have been practicing my craft in boutique salons of Williamsburg and the East Village. It gives me great pleasure to now offer my services at Sparrow, a space that reflects my vision and imagination.
About Ariel
I have been practicing Massage Therapy full time since 1999. I studied Swedish and Connective Tissue Massage at The Scherer Institute in Santa Fe and received my Reiki II initiation from Ellen Sokolow in the Traditional Usui Method. . I also trained as a Mat Pilates Instructor at the Kane School of Core Integration. My style synthesizes Swedish, Deep Tissue, Connective Tissue, and energetic work in order to create a relaxing, nurturing, and effective massage. I have extensive experience with pre- and post-natal massage, chronic pain, injuries, scar tissue, and misalignment. My goal at Sparrow is to create a beautiful space for deep relaxation and renewal. Let my healing hands work out your kinks and transport your soul - and discover why many people say I give the best massage they've ever had.
