I have to be honest, I always take on YELP and never give :) I use these reviews constantly - but Sam is just so good I felt like I need to share her :) It is SO rare when you find a massage therapist who is a) REALLY good at what they do b) REALLY knowledgeable about the human body c) REALLY a great person and d) really flexible to schedules, etc. For me body work is essential to the dream I am chasing (runner) - and so her deep tissue is the best I have ever gotten and I have lived all over the country and worked with a lot. she has gotten me to the starting line healthy and keeps me working like a fine tuned machine :) BUUTTTTTTT having said that, there have been days when I just felt beat down and needed a "normal" massage - and she can do that too - - her toolbox of massages and skills is best in class - - you will not be disappointed - she can do whatever you need for YOU. Just ask! I am glad I did - she's been my secret weapon to a happy body :)
