Samantha is a graduate of the Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy in Albany, NY. Upon graduating, she became recognised by New York State as a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) in March, 2018 after her exams in January, 2018.

As a massage therapist, Samantha's passion is in working with people who have need of medical massage, are struggling with chronic pain, or need to boost their fortitude against a mental health struggle. She enjoys the puzzle of fine-tuning a massage to best suit the needs of the person before her, and loves that the work she does helps another improve an individual's quality of life (even if only temporarily).

As a trained Reiki Master, Samantha also brings this skillset to the table as something she can incorporate into any of her massages. Energy work is where her desire to be a bodyworker started, as she realized from her energy work that assisting people in this manner was what she wanted to do. If a client doesn't wish for energy work though, she is happy to oblige.

When she isn't practicing massage therapy, Samantha enjoys a multitude of hobbies. She is an avid artist that explores many mediums; ranging from abstract art, to beading, to photography, to dance... and loving every bit of it! She is also passionate about history, enjoys spending time with her family, cuddling with her cats, and reading. She is a very multi-faceted person, and wouldn't dream of changing this curiosity she has for life.
