About Samantha
Where Clinical Precision Meets Whole-Person Healing
With over 20 years of experience in advanced therapeutic bodywork, I support clients seeking relief from pain, tension, and imbalance through restorative, evidence-based treatments. My practice blends deep technical skill with intuitive, compassionate care — helping people feel more at home in their bodies with less pain, more ease, and a greater sense of comfort.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with clients navigating chronic pain, postural issues, surgical recovery, TMJ dysfunction, and stress-related tension. Every session blends science-backed techniques with personalized therapeutic touch tailored to your unique needs.
My Background & Why I Do This Work
My professional path has been shaped by training with world-renowned educators and medical massage specialists. I’ve spent decades studying clinical bodywork, structural therapies, lymphatic work, TMJ-focused treatment, and integrative healing modalities.
Serving clients in both Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, my approach remains rooted in intention, integrity, and results. Whether someone comes to me as a last resort or simply needs clarity and relief, my goal is always the same: to help you feel supported, understood, and truly cared for.
My Journey as a Practitioner
Healing happens when the body feels safe.
My role is to create a space where you feel supported, listened to, and encouraged. I honor both the science and the art of bodywork — integrating advanced clinical methods with intuitive, heart-centered care.
Whether you’re navigating discomfort, stress, or ongoing imbalances, I’m here to help you move toward ease with intention and compassion.
My philosophy
Giving back has always been part of my work. I’ve volunteered with The Heart Touch Project, offering therapeutic touch to individuals with HIV/AIDS in hospices and shelters across Los Angeles. Supporting patients and families through emotional and physical care continues to shape my approach today.
Community service
Beyond my treatment room, I’m passionate about natural health, movement, and lifelong learning. I enjoy yoga, competitive salsa dancing, exploring wellness literature, hiking in nature, and studying global healing traditions through travel. This lifestyle directly informs the grounded, intuitive way I work with clients.
