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 recommend some creams and foams to help with the swelling and healing process.

Sam’s Expertise Made All the Difference in My Post-Op Recovery

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.

Tummy Tuck

Miracle Worker!

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.

Aveli

Aveli is Legit! Sara is the Best!

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.

Sam is the Best!

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!

Post op lymphatic massages make me feel amazing

Sam is amazing! She is extremely informative, knowledgeable & you can tell she's very passionate about her work and her patients. I had questions and issues with my faja & she took the time to take my measurements and ensure I was wearing the right size and wearing it properly. I had a mini tummy tuck, lipo 360 and a BBL and her post op lymphatic massages make me feel amazing. She really takes her time to ensure she focuses on all the necessary areas that need to be treated and uses a variety of techniques. I come out feeling so much better than I did when I walked in. I highly recommend Sam!

Lymphatic massage, two months post-op from a Lipo 360/BBL

Samantha is absolutely amazing! I’m two months post-op from a Lipo 360/BBL, and her massages have been a game-changer in my recovery. Her unique techniques not only helped enhance my results but also made me feel so much better and more relaxed after each session. Samantha’s knowledge and expertise are unmatched—she guided me through every concern I had with care and confidence. What stands out the most is her passion for her work; she’s always learning and refining her skills, which shows in the quality of her care. Thank you, Sam, for being such an incredible part of my recovery journey! I couldn’t have done it without you.

She is So Much More Than Just a Massage Therapist

Where do I begin! Samantha is a gift that has been added to Dr. Azizi's practice. She was everything I needed post lipo 360 BBL. Not only is she extremely educated in her field of work, but she is a kind, generous soul that was a much needed shoulder to lean on after surgery. My first massage with her was 3 days after surgery. I came in a disheveled mess, sore and weak, and really needing a helping hand and some guidance. She took matters into her own hands and helped me out of my faja and bandages before she started a wonderful gentle post-op lymphatic drainage massage. During the massage I had so many random questions about healing and compression and she was able to answer them all in depth with so much knowledge. She also explained has been through procedures herself which felt comforting to have someone there who can relate. When we were done she got me back into my faja and showed me how to properly strip my drains and place my foam. I felt immediately better after my massages with her and couldn't help but to text and thank her in excitement about how much more I felt like myself afterwards! But, she is so much more than just a massage therapist. I am out of state, but she still is just a texts reach away for any questions I have post-op. She is sooo sweet and selfless I can't explain how grateful I am for her -- I even reach out to her when I am having a bad day and needing some emotional support from someone who can understand the crazy ups and downs of healing from a BBL and she is always there for me. She truly is my angel! <3 Thank you Samantha!!!

Professional, Personable, and the Absolute Best!

I have to start by saying that Samantha is incredibly sweet, professional, and knowledgeable. Her healing touch, combined with her keen attention to detail and expert advice, makes you feel completely at ease, confident that you're receiving the best care. Samantha is personable, honest, and genuinely caring. I visited her for lymphatic massage as part of my post-operative care following a tummy tuck. Her soothing touch not only eased my swelling but also made the entire experience so comforting. I highly recommend her services and look forward to returning for more therapies. Thank you, Samantha!
