In the fall of 2014, our infant son Henry was having difficulty with nursing - his jaw was very tight, I felt pain when he latched, and he would not remain latched for more than a few seconds. Because of these issues, Henry was mostly eating from a bottle.
When Samara came to our home, we were very impressed with her knowledge and ability to work with a small, and sometimes uncooperative, baby. We appreciated her calm and patient manner, and her explanations of what she was doing to help Henry's jaw and cranium.
After the first session with Samara, Henry nursed for over fifteen minutes without unlatching, and he has continued to become a very successful breastfeeder who rarely eats from a bottle. We are very grateful for Samara and her work to help our son thrive.
In the fall of 2015, I began struggling with mastitis and plugged ducts while nursing my twin sons. Samara's acupuncture and craniosacral work were pivotal in overcoming the issue so that I could continue to nurse my twins until they self-weaned. Samara always explains what she is doing as well as what she is reading from my body. I have seen several different acupuncturists in the past, but I have never felt so comfortable and understood the thought process behind Chinese medicine as well as when working with Samara. I cannot recommend her enough!
I went to Samara for help optimizing my health and wellness while trying to conceive. Samara used craniosacral and some gentle acupuncture during my visit. From start to finish, Samara was professional, thorough and knowledgable. She shared what she was doing and why as well as the feedback she was receiving from my body.
I felt completely relaxed, rejuvenated and cared for throughout our session. My body felt energized and nourished by the end of the session. I'm so grateful for Samara's amazing work and I can't wait to return.
