Licensed Massage Therapist
Sam’s Wellness Philosophy
Wellness journeys are a collaborative effort for most and certainly when massage and bodywork are components that you choose to include.
The journey begins with discovery and assessment, charting a path to address needs comes next, followed by a rotation of work, re-examination, and tweaking that continue until a solid equilibrium is reached.
Let’s map out your journey together.
Get to Know Sam
I have been a massage therapist since 2021.
I started in a spa setting but quickly found my passion for medical massage working in physical therapy and alternative care settings.
I began my body work path after a soccer injury in high school sent me to the athletic trainer, which helped me discover my passion for learning about the body and helping equip people to do the activities that they love.
I studied Human Physiology at the University of Oregon and trained in massage at Lane Community College’s Massage Therapy School.
How Sam Supports Your Wellness Journey
What’s unique about my style is that I like to involve patient education, heavily.
The best results are obtained when patients understand how their habits and daily activities effect their bodies and the ways those factors can be adjusted promoting last change.
My techniques are influenced by Swedish deep tissue, sports massage, and Thai massage, which would make my style deep, slow, and “stretchy.”
Beyond the Office
I enjoy spending my time outdoors using our city’s lovely bike path system. I also enjoy going to the woods and hiking the trails, especially Spencer’s Butte.
Volleyball, soccer for sports as well as reading fiction and playing games with friends on rainy days.
