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.
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

Worth It
The GOAT
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
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
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
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
