Testimonials

Gathered by Samuel from admiring massage clients to share with you.

March 15, 2023 in Oakland, CA (mobile)

Sam has a wonderful quality of touch. His knowledge of the meridian lines is exceptional. If you want a calming nurturing touch that moves you. You will not be dissatisfied. I’m super grateful to have received his bodywork. Thanks Sam.

Samuel's presence is so grounding. I began to relax the moment he placed his hands on my back, lying on a cozy heated blanket. He is skilled and knowledgable about the energetics of the human body. Ask him to do some Acupressure on you during your massage! I don't know how it works but wow!

I can't say enough to recommend Sam. If you're looking for a high-quality therapeutic massage grounded in knowledge, skill, and connection, he's for you. I've been seeing Sam regularly and the benefits are undeniable and consistent. I highly recommend his longer sequenced routine: I don't know how or why it works but it does!

Sam brings a level of presence and care to his massages that is unparalleled. His touch is gentle and healing, firm and confident. His knowledge is deep and he approached our time with curiosity, asking about what I needed and what felt good. Highly recommend!

Sam is a gem - a studied, strong & sensitive therapist who can deliver an excellent multi-faceted massage. His presence is nurturing, and his no-BS style is welcome in a world of fluff.
