I had developed trigger finger on the middle finger of both hands and also, a painful stiffness in all fingers of both hands when I woke up. Doctor suggested cortisone shot would help. I was bummed. In one visit to Samantha focusing on hands, all finger stiffness was gone.(!) Trigger finger still around, but much less of a problem.

Samantha is a master at her craft. She employs techniques to address what best suits my my body's state and and my goals, and she does it effectively, consistently.
I cannot recommend her highly enough, nor adequately convey with words how that among her peers, at least of those within my experience, she is indeed on a higher level, and each session is tailored to the individual, and their needs at that moment, dynamically assessing and adjusting treatment.
Not coicidentally, her treatments, among massages, have provided the most lasting benefits I've yet encountered. Her hands (and elbows) are truly healing tools.

Based on my experience with many different types of massage and bodywork, I was quite disappointed with my massage. In my opinion the massage therapist does not have healing hands—very little sensitivity in her touch. I wanted a relaxing healing massage, not a therapeutic session of extreme body work.

Samantha was highly recommended by a friend and I was not disappointed. I injured my shoulder a month ago and was seeing several different healthcare professionals with only small bits of progress in my level of pain. After seeing Samantha, my shoulder felt vastly better. I still have some work to do in recovering from my injury, but Samantha gave me a big leap forward in my progress and I plan on returning during the next stage of my recovery.

I have to say that Samantha's instincts with regard to deep tissue and muscle release techniques are the best I have ever encountered and I'm a certified massage therapist. I can trust her completely to go as deep as possible with out going too far. She seems to have unfailing instincts and amazing control. I have just had 5 sessions with and will be signing up for another group. The truth is that at least six times a session the thought comes though my mind this is the best thing that ever happened to me!! I'm not joking I've a lot of stress and tension in the last few years and Samatha's work is beyond wonderful.

Samantha puts all of her energy into the specific injured area and has an abundance of knowledge regarding the makeup of the human body. I'm amazed by how she knows the correlation of all the muscles and their specific functions. Highly recommended.
