Introduction: Thank you for visiting my profile. I am an orthopedically trained bodyworker with over 1200 educational hours. The work I do is health care. It is assessment based and results focused. I specialize in injury prevention and rehabilitation, chronic pain management and improved joint function. The modalities I use in our sessions are chosen to address the primary complaints we identify. These include: fascial stretching and myofascial release, compressive deep tissue, table Shiatsu, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder Method). My work can be incredibly light or deep depending on what is required, but I always work within your pain tolerance. At times I may ask for your active participation with a technique to increase its effectiveness. Please note: I use relaxation techniques as indicated for your particular situation on the day of your appointment but I do not schedule relaxation focused sessions as a general practice. One hour sessions with me are targeted to your primary complaint or follow a pre-agreed upon treatment plan conducted over multiple sessions. I may work very different regions of the body, but the intent is to address that primary complaint. I do not do 1 hour sessions that work the entire body for its own sake. If you would like that type of session please consider booking a 90 or 120 min session. I am unable to accommodate same day requests for onsite appointments. Generally a week’s notice is required. Priority booking for onsite appointments is given to clients that would be unable to receive treatment otherwise for health and/or mobility reasons. My studio hours are Monday-Friday from 9am-6:00 PM (last finishing appointment time). Other hours posted here reflect extended possible availability for onsite scheduling.

  • Taline L.

    Massage Therapy

    I arranged a pregnancy massage for my sister-in-law and she couldn't have been happier! The massage was right in her home, she felt comfortable and relaxed through the entire appointment, and said it was the best she'd ever had. Would highly recommend - response time was incredible, booking and payment were super easy. 10/10

    Thank you Taline for the incredible review! It was a pleasure to work with Julia on her first prenatal massage.

    Massage Therapy

    Sam was great - she travelled to me very prepared with a very comfortable massage table, along with all of the sheets and pillows to make it seem like a fully built out massage studio. The massage itself was great, and she was able to provide the right pressure and let me know about some specific things I could do to improve my posture and muscle tightness going forward!

    Thanks for the great review Chris! It was a pleasure working with you.

  • Rachel D.

    Massage Therapy

    I had such a nice 90-minute massage with Sam. I went in to relieve stress and help loosen some back and leg tightness. Sam is skilled, knowledgeable and tuned in - a true professional. We were able to make progress on some deeply held body patterns while also keeping things relaxing and not overwhelming. Thank you!

    Massage Therapy

    First visit with Sam at Impress Bodywork. I was very impressed. Very knowledgeable and skilled in meeting my needs for endurance training. After two years of searching for an outstanding massage therapist, I found one. Will be going back. She helped me to understand more about musculature and fascia related to repetitive use. Excellent!

    Thanks for the great review John! I'm glad you incorporating massage into your rigorous training regimen as its one of the best ways to prevent injury. Looking forward to working with you again soon!

    Massage Therapy

    Sam was great. To begin with she was extremely prompt to respond to my request on Thumbtack. She was also very flexible about scheduling the appointment and worked around my schedule. With regards to the massage, she was very thorough and detailed with her questions regarding my problem areas. I felt a lot better after her massage therapy. She focused on my problem area and ensure she worked within my comfort zone. I would definitely recommend her!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
    My standard rates are $100/hour, $125/75 min, $150/1.5 hours. I charge an additional $50 travel fee for all on-site appointments. Onsite Appointments are reserved for clients unable to travel due to medical conditions. Pre-payment is required for all onsite (in-home) appointments. Your appointment is booked/confirmed upon receipt of payment not before, and your requested time may be given to another client in the meantime. Please note, I DO NOT ACCEPT TIPS and I do not offer sessions of less than 1 hour in length. For payment I accept cash and all major debit or credit cards. I do not accept checks or funds transfer services (e.g. Venmo, etc.) Late Cancelation Policy: Cancellations received within 24 hours of appointment start time are considered late cancellations and are nonrefundable. Appointments scheduled within 24 hours of appointment start time are considered to already be within late cancellation period. If prepayment has not been received for booking 100% of appointment cost must be paid in full prior to rescheduling. This policy is applicable to redemption of gift certificates and pre-paid packages. Gift certificates and pre-paid packages are redeemable for up to one year from purchase date.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?
    My clients tend to fall under 3 broad categories: 1) Athletes, dancers and very active individuals training for events or looking for pre and post-workout care. 2) Clients with chronic medical conditions requiring special adaptations/modifications and understanding. Namely, Cancer, Stroke, ALS, MS, spinal cord injuries, Chronic Lyme, Alzheimer's Disease among other conditions. 3) Office workers and parents of young children with repetitive strain issues related to work and life responsibilities
