A personal back injury brought Samantha to biodynamic craniosacral therapy and ignited her interest in a variety of healing modalities. She studied biodynamic craniosacral therapy for two and half years with Dr. Michael J. Shea in New York City and became registered under the standards of the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America (BCTA/NA).

She is now a licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac.) and Board certified herbalist. Samantha has interned for a year or more under Marie-France Collin, L.Ac., Dr. Li Xin Sha, L.Ac., and Maria Mulcahy, L.Ac.
