Sam is extremely knowledgeable, so caring and 100% in tune with the body. She prioritizes healing by closely monitoring scarring, checking faja fit, and providing clear, helpful guidance. Each session leaves me feeling better, and the reduction in swelling is significant. I'm incredible grateful for her and am so happy she's part of my recovery.

I had lymphatic drainage massages as part of my tummy tuck recovery, and I truly cannot recommend Samantha enough. From the first session, she is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly gentle while still being very effective. The massages have made a noticeable difference in my swelling, tightness, and overall comfort. Each session has helped me feel less restricted and more mobile, and Sam always adjusts the treatment based on where I am in my healing process. She explains everything clearly and has made me feel completely at ease during a vulnerable time in recovery. If you’re recovering from a tummy tuck and want to heal properly and comfortably, Sam is an absolute must! The care, skill, and results have made a huge difference in my recovery. Attaching a video and in it you can see my swelling in week 5 vs week 7. Both of these are immediately after my massage session. Would not have believed the benefit of lymphatic massage had I not seen these results week over week after each session.

Sam has been an absolute blessing throughout my post-op recovery. From the very first session, her sweetness and professionalism stood out. She is incredibly knowledgeable in her field, and it shows in every single massage she performs. She explains what she’s doing, why she’s doing it, and how it will help my healing, something I truly appreciated. What I loved most is how she treated me with such care and respect. She made sure I felt like a queen every step of the way. She constantly checked on my comfort, adjusted her technique when needed, and created an environment where I felt safe, relaxed, and supported. Her hands, her patience, and her genuine heart have made a huge difference in my recovery. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for her. I absolutely love her and would recommend her to anyone looking for the best post-op care.

I'm 4 weeks post op from a tummy tuck,lipo and bbl and I went for my very first lymphatic massage and I was very nervous about the pain.But Sam gave me peace of mind and took great care of me,she explain the process and talked me thru every step. She was very professional and so knowledgeable. The massage went great,I had 0 pain and now I'm looking forward to have her in my recovery journey! Thank you Sam!

Sam is the BEST!! When the staff said I would love Sam bc she’s great, they were not lying! Not only is she beautiful & sweet, she’s a MASTER at her craft. She is very knowledgeable on how our bodies work and explains everything. Everytime I leave from a massage from her, I feel AMAZING! I rave about her to everyone!! Sam is heaven sent!!!

Sam is the absolute best. I’ve seen several people for lymphatic massages throughout my post-op journey and she is by far my favorite. I drive an hour each way just to see her because she’s just that good. She is so gentle and always ensures you are comfortable at all times. The entire massage is so relaxing and I always leave feeling 1000 times better than when I arrived. In addition to the amazing massages, she went above and beyond to help me find a better fitting faja and recommend some creams and foams to help with the swelling and healing process.

Sam has been an absolute gift during my post-op recovery. I had a bumpier healing process than expected — due to some underlying health factors — and her clinical expertise, deep knowledge of the lymphatic system, and experience with post-surgical care made all the difference. From day one, I felt like I was in highly capable, confident hands. She not only knew exactly what my body needed, but also helped me understand what was happening and why, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I was feeling frustrated or discouraged, she reminded me — through both her words and her work — that what I was experiencing was normal and part of the journey. Her support made me feel less alone and more hopeful. I truly can’t recommend her enough.

I just had my first massage with Samantha and I can honestly say—she is a miracle worker. Even though she humbly doesn’t see herself that way, her gift is undeniable. I’m almost 6 weeks post-op from a tummy tuck, BBL, and lipo, and walking into her care was the best thing I could’ve done for my recovery. Samantha instinctively knew exactly what my body needed. She understood where the fluid was building, where compression was lacking, and helped me feel one million percent better after just one session. Her hands are magic, but it’s her genuine care for others that really sets her apart. People like her, who truly love helping others, are always the most humble—and that’s Samantha through and through. I even told her she’s a *celebrity* in the post-op world (because she is!), and she just laughed. But seriously, if you know, you know. If only she were in charge of designing fajas—because one brand definitely does *not* fit all. But thankfully, Samantha knows how to work with what you have and guide you toward what you actually need. Forever grateful I found her. Highly recommend to anyone recovering from surgery or just in need of real, intuitive healing.

Sara did my Aveli treatment at RAM and she was absolutely wonderful! Explained everything in detail and was invested and cared to make a difference. I’m really happy with my results, the treatment definitely helped with the dimples in my cheeks! If you are considering it, just do it! Not much down time, no pain, just slight bruising. I suggest to do it in the fall/winter time.

I cannot recommend Sam enough! She went the extra mile to support my post-op recovery, and I truly felt like I was in the best hands. She is incredibly attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable—taking the time to explain each step of the process and how it would benefit my healing. Her expertise and care made all the difference, and I could tell she is truly gifted at what she does. If you're looking for a post-op massage therapist in Chicago who genuinely cares and knows her craft, look no further. 1000% recommend!
