Samantha Canterberry

Samantha did my prenatal massage during each of my pregnancies. I was facing induction with my first because I was way past due. I was trying every «natural» induction method I could and had almost given up when I found Samantha. The massage experience was wonderful, and labor started within hours. During my second pregnancy, I saw her a bit earlier. I had another wonderful massage, and I didn’t have to worry about a late delivery. I had a much easier labor, and I’m sure that was a factor.
It may have just been luck, but even if I weren’t hoping to induce labor, I would never regret going to her for massage. She has a soothing, positive demeanor and excellent skills.

Samantha is great! I highly recommend Samantha; I have been to many places in SD for a massage and she is by far the best. The 90 minute complete relaxation package is perfect to completely relax and leaves you feeling wonderful afterwards, I also recommend adding on the fresh coconut, it leaves your skin so soft for days afterwards. Can’t wait until my next appointment!

I have been seeing Samantha for almost a year and look forward to each visit. Each experience is a focused one, with her beginning the session asking about what area she needs to pay extra attention to. You can tell this is a passion of hers when discussing various methods of massage with her and you can definitely feel it in her technique. She is very attentive, knowledgeable, she documents sessions to revisit trouble areas in future visits and tailors the time around my needs. I feel her pricing is extremely competitive.
She is kind, and as one other Unilocaler noted, someone you would want as a friend. I, too, discovered her through Mind Body Partnership, but want to point out that she has relocated from Centre Street to Herbin on 5^th Ave in Hillcrest as of this post.

Why go for a hit or miss massage at a salon or a national chain clinic when you can have a much better experience with Samantha?
She shares a peaceful holistic center with several other practitioners (chiropractic, acupuncture, etc).
I definitely recommend a 90 minute session. Samantha customizes each treatment to address tension areas as well as spots that just need more TLC (in my case, face & feet). The extra time will bliss you out.
The flow of the massage, the pressure, variety of techniques, meditative quality… it doesn’t get any better than this, folks!
