I listen deeply and work collaboratively, as I believe treatment is most effective in a safe environment of mutual input and participation. Your body possesses a powerful, innate ability to heal from injury and trauma when given the chance to do so; it's true for each of us. Whether through treatment-oriented medical massage or restorative bodywork, my goal as a therapist is to support the manifestation of your body's inherent wisdom, capacity for healing, and appetite for integration.
Services
Nearly a decade of walking beside others on the path to healing and wellness have taught me it is not only possible, but natural for us to feel ease and delight in our bodies. It is an immense joy and privilege to witness the relief, progress, and life-affirming discoveries clients achieve throughout the course of our work together.
I draw from a combination of the following modalities based on your specific need and goals:. Accelerate recovery and improve long-term mobility, tissue health, and resistance to re-injury. Treatment-oriented massage is extremely effective in promoting efficient and sound recovery from muscular injuries, chronic pain, and related conditions.

I have had chronic neck and lower back pain for years and I have had hundreds of massages from many, many different therapists, including some physical therapists. In the past 10 years or so I have had a difficult time finding a therapist that could get deep enough to give me good relief and better range of motion in my neck. Today I had my first ever session with Samantha and WOW! I don't think that I have ever felt so good after a massage! When I walked in, I was tight from head to toe after a few workouts, plus the chronic arthritic neck pain. She was able to get deep and loosen me up like I

I always leave a session with Samantha feeling relaxed and pain free. I have really tight neck and shoulder muscles from sitting at a desk and taking care of my baby, and Samantha is able to help relieve the tension. She is very easy to communicate with and has really improved the quality of my life due to helping me manage my pain. I have also visited during COVID-19 and feel perfectly safe as she takes the necessary precautions. Thank you Samantha!

I can't recommend Samantha enough. She has such a nurturing presence along with an uncanny ability to find and effectively address the places that hurt the most without leaving me sore the next day. She's always attentive to what I'm most needing on a given day - so different from the impersonal "cookie cutter" experience I've had at bigger places. Great, relaxing environment, too

After serving in the Army for six years, I was left with severe pain and immobility in my lower back, knees, and hips. Going to see Sam was the best decision I have made. I have significantly less pain in all three places of my body as well as improved function in other body parts. My mobility has improved beyond what I thought it could and I feel like my old self again. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone suffering from pain due to strenuous activity like I did as well as anyone looking for a welcoming and helpful massage environment.

The significant relief I have found while under Sam’s care is astounding. As a dog groomer I use my body in such a degrading way that at the end of the day I’m left a painful mess. Sam has helped me so much overcoming the taught muscles that are my back. She has a knack with listening to my problems physically or emotionally and making them fade away. I love how each session is more focused on what my imminent pains are so we can work on them first and bring quicker relief. I can not recommend Sam enough for anything that troubles you body or mind.

Over the years Sam has seen me through some challenging chronic illness symptoms, and every time I leave a massage with her I have increased mobility, a significant decrease in pain, migraine symptoms, as well as an increase in overall well being. Sam has an uncanny ability to tune into the different needs I may have from session to session, and a remarkable ability to hold space for any energetic/emotional experiences that surface. I have come to her with an inability to stand on my right leg without falling and left with the ability to stand on it again. I have come to her with pain so severe

Every massage I have with Sam is comfortable and extremely beneficial to my physical well being as well as my emotional and mental state. Her calming demeanor as well as the ambiance of her practice makes for a welcoming and comfortable massage environment. She is extremely receptive to what my body needs each individual time I go. I have suffered from TMJ in my jaw and have felt substantial improvement joint mobility and level of pain when I see Sam for this issue specifically. Her abilities range beyond what most typical massage places offer and she is extremely educated in her field. An excellent

I spend allot of time outside of my body because of chronic pain. It's also extremely hard for me to pinpoint the source of the problems. Sam is always quick to go directly to source of the pain and somehow channel it away. Over just an hour session, she manages to make me feel comfortable in my skin- and beautiful- a feeling I really appreciate! Her body working skills are superior to any others I have experienced- I highly recommend seeing Samantha if you are in any kind of chronic pain!
