Sam graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in April 2022.

Born in Victoria, Sam has lived most of his life on the west coast. A history of labour intensive jobs has given him an appreciation for chronic pain management, fuelled in part by his own struggles with cluster headaches. With a passion for helping to relieve others of their own pain, especially headaches or chronic conditions, Sam enjoys providing massages in a relaxing and stress-free environment. He mixes Swedish Massage with other techniques depending on the condition and preferences of the client, and looks forward to learning more modalities throughout his career.
