The hands you are booking

Reg. 2020
Kingston, Jamaica

I am Samanta Wallace. I have been practising since 2020 and I have worked with some of my clients for the better part of a decade — with herniated discs, frozen shoulders, and the ordinary accumulated tension of thirty years at a desk.

I trained in massage therapy in the United Kingdom, and I have worked on cruise ships in Europe.

What you are booking is experienced hands, professionalism and integrity. Those three are why I started, and what I stand for.

How I work

Listen

“I will not ask you to choose a technique. Tell me where it hurts and how long it has hurt — I will decide the rest.”

Work

Most of that pain starts upstream, in stress, sleep and posture. Settle the nervous system first and the rest can follow.

Aftercare

Every client gets my personal attention. You see me every time, I remember what we worked on last, and I plan the next session around it. That is the part a spa cannot copy, and it is why most of my clients have been with me for years.

I work with men and women.

What I work with

Lower back pain, an aggravated or herniated disc, frozen shoulder, neck and shoulder tension, stress, and a nervous system that needs a reset.

Swedish
Circulation and general tension. The place to start if you’re not sure.
Deep tissue
Slow, firm pressure into the layers underneath. Chronic lower back and shoulders.
Hot stone
Warmed stones, worked slowly.
Bamboo
Warmed bamboo, for deeper work than hands alone reach comfortably.
Aromatherapy
Oils blended for what you arrived with, not a menu of scents.
Thai poultice
A steamed herbal compress. Heat that travels further than you expect.

I don't diagnose or treat a condition — if something needs a doctor, I'll say so.

You come to me, or I come to you.

The candle burning during your session is one of mine. Pure beeswax from my own hives, no synthetic fragrance, nothing like the plug-in air fresheners I find in most houses. You are welcome to take one home, or to have a jar of the honey when it is in season.
