HELLO!

I’M SAMANTHA

Lying in savasana (corpse pose) in a New York City yoga class, the instructor softly cradled my head and offered a brief neck massage. In that moment, a light bulb went off—I knew yoga and massage were what I wanted to pursue.

In 2008, I moved out of NYC and enrolled in the massage program at Kripalu Yoga Center in Western Massachusetts. This experience changed my life. There I learned not only the art of massage, but also the profound impact energy work can have on the body, including the effects of crystals on the nervous system.

At the tail end of 2009, I relocated to Portland, Oregon, where I worked alongside a chiropractor for six years. This opportunity allowed me to work with a wide range of bodies and ages, deepening my understanding of anatomy, alignment, and healing. During this time, I also completed a 500-hour yoga teacher training with the former Bhaktishop.

These combined experiences gave me the confidence and clarity to begin my own massage practice. Over the years, I’ve studied many techniques and developed a diverse toolbox, allowing each session to be tailored to the individual. Fifteen years later, I’m grateful to add Well-Being Coaching as another supportive offering for my clients.

I’m honored to offer massage therapy, energy balancing, and well-being coaching as pathways to greater ease, balance, and self-awareness. Let’s work together so you can feel more connected, grounded, and empowered to shine your light in the world.
