Samantha is a phenomenal bodyworker! I am really really sensitive physically and energetically to physical manipulations. From the moment I placed my body on the table I felt comfortable and in good hands. I have Bursitis in my shoulder, scoliosis, tendentious in my knee, irregular menses, inflammation and adrenal issues
With several sessions we have been able to bring my shoulder back to life and making our way through the rest of the list. My quality of life, vitality, and physical comfort have all increased exponentially. I am so grateful I opened up Yelp and found Samantha when I needed her

Finally, a GOOD cheap thai massage. I was starting to give up on CA. $39/hr for Thai, and $49/hour for Swedish, Deep Tissue, and other options.The beds are separated by a thin curtain. Everyone was quiet. The masseuse didn't speak any English, but she stepped on my bike and got my knots out just fine.

Samantha is 'the' most amazing massage therapist and acupuncturist I've worked with. She helped me with my postpartum pains, especially on my wrists. I was having trouble picking up my baby and I saw Samantha once a week, sometimes more, for acupuncture to treat this and the pain subsided after each treatment and was gone in a couple of months. This was over 10 months ago. Now, I still see her every week for acupuncture for back pain and massage. Samantha knows what she's doing - she's intuitive and I don't have to point out my trouble spots - she just knows! Samantha is passionate about healing

Samantha Hodges is the one-stop-shop integrative practitioner than every athlete or modern, active woman needs. She's a brilliant acupuncturist and a highly skilled massage therapist, you're essentially getting two treatments for the price of one. No one else has been able to knead out this knot in my back - she was able to get rid of it in just 2 treatments, using acupuncture, massage, and cupping. I highly recommend her.

Samantha knows what she's doing. I've been treating with her for years and cannot stress enough (pun!) how much her treatments have helped me. She first treated me with massage and shared how nutrition and diet with my active training schedule would help increase my energy. I was scared to try acupuncture and cupping at first, but I completely trusted her to give me a session - and I left feeling more relaxed and my shoulders and back more calm than they've been in a long time. I definitely recommend!

Samantha of PBAM is amazing. I visited PBAM to get some relief from a month long injury that caused pain in my side / back. Samantha assessed my body very carefully, pinpointed where the pain was stemming from and uncovered the recurring cause of the pain. Samantha used a combination of different techniques to help heal me, including: acupuncture, cupping and massage. The results were outstanding, the pain was greatly relieved and continues to feel better every day. If you have chronic pain and need some help, I highly recommend you see Samantha at PBAM.
