Sam graduated from The Wellness Institute of Chester County in 2021. She has spent her time since honing her skills overall to provide the best massage experience she can, training specifically to address and alleviate symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD). She has completed courses in working with TMJD, as well as migraines and headaches through Advanced Myofascial Techniques Trainings, and spends time expanding her knowledge through coursework and research. Check out her post on the Healing Sanctuary’s blog for more information about TMJD.
Sam strives to maintain a welcoming, inclusive, and safe space for humans from all backgrounds, regardless of race, neurodiversity, gender identity and expression, or orientation. She firmly believes that everyone deserves to be heard, supported, and respected – especially during their healing journey. Her practice is open and inclusive to everyone, and she has training in massage for LGBTQIA+ clients and adaptive massage. Committed to supporting the body’s power to heal itself, she has built her practice on the understanding that it is important to hold space for every body’s story. [ Read more about how health and wellness providers can be more supportive of the LGBTQ+ community on The Healing Sanctuary’s blog post.]
In a typical session with Sam, you will start with a brief consultation to discuss any areas of tension or pain you'd like to address, and what you’d like out of your massage. Each session is unique and tailored to your specific goals and the state of the body that you brought through the door that day. During a massage with Sam, your comfort is paramount. She encourages feedback during the session, as she believes bodies relax and heal best when they feel safe, heard, and supported. Sam also believes client communication and education is crucial, and provides the option to debrief the session after your massage is finished. Whether you want to alleviate pain, simply relax and restore, or somewhere in-between, her door is open to you!
Sam knows it is an honor and a privilege to work with people in this capacity, and she is grateful everyday to be able to give back to her community through the power of touch. Her kind heart, genuine warmth and cheerful spirit create a welcoming and safe space for all her clients.
