i. The Practice
Inside the Luma studio: a softly-lit massage room with sage curtains, a terracotta knit blanket, plants, and warm lamp light.

Hi, I'm Samantha.

Samantha Campbell, LMT

I'm a licensed massage therapist with thirteen years of experience. After more than a decade working in other studios, I've opened a quiet space of my own.

Luma Therapeutic Bodywork is a private practice. One room, one therapist, one client at a time. The pace is unhurried on purpose. The work asks for that, and so do most of the bodies that walk through the door.

My bodywork is slow, deep, and intent on attuning the nervous system. Not louder pressure for its own sake; deeper attention. The kind of session you leave a little surprised by, not because of what was done, but because of how much your body finally let go.

ii. The Approach

Designed to be unhurried.

Most people who come in asking for deeper pressure don't actually need more force. They need a body that feels safe enough to soften. The work begins there.

i.

Slow & deliberate

Pace is part of the medicine. Sessions move at the speed the nervous system can actually integrate. That's slower than most people expect, and exactly what most people need.

ii.

Attuned, not protocol‑driven

No two bodies arrive the same. Sessions respond to what's actually present that day (chronic patterns, acute tension, posture, breath, mood) rather than running a fixed routine.

iii.

All‑inclusive by design

You book how much time you'd like. Any tools and modalities at my disposal (deep tissue, cupping, hot towels, focused stretching) are available within that time. No menu calculus. No add‑ons.

iii. Sessions

Book by time.

Sessions are priced by length, not by service. Once you're on the table, the work meets you where you are. Deep tissue one day, slower restorative work the next, a quieter session focused on a single area when that's what's asked for.

Longer sessions allow more space for the body to settle and the work to deepen. If you're new to bodywork or carrying a lot, consider 90 minutes.

  • 60 min A focused session. Best for a specific area or returning clients.$120
  • 90 min The most common request. Time to settle, work fully, and integrate.$150
  • 120 min A long, unhurried session. Recommended for chronic tension or deep restoration.$200

New clients: $30 off your first session. A $50 deposit holds new‑client appointments.

iv. Your Visit

What to expect on the day.

First time? Here's how it goes.

i.

Before

The studio is in Suite 5, just inside the building. Aim to arrive a few minutes early. There's parking out front. Wear something comfortable; we'll have a short conversation about what you're working with that day before we start.

ii.

On the table

Sessions move slower than most. There's room to ask for more or less pressure, to add or skip an area, or to simply rest when something asks for it. The room stays warm. Music is quiet. Your nervous system is doing the leading.

iii.

After

Hydrate. Be gentle with the rest of the day if you can. Most people feel a little quieter, a little looser. Sometimes that lands the next morning more than the same day. Rebooking, if it's right, is easy.

v. Questions

Common questions.

What kinds of pain or tension does therapeutic bodywork help with?

Sessions can help with chronic neck, shoulder, and upper back tension; tension-type headaches and migraines; stress and nervous system dysregulation; and pain related to repetitive use, posture, or specific structural conditions like disc issues. The work is therapeutic, not purely for relaxation. Most ongoing clients come in for something specific they're managing.

How often should I come?

It depends on what you're working with. Many ongoing clients come monthly to manage chronic patterns. Some come weekly during flare-ups; others come occasionally as maintenance. The first session usually clarifies what cadence will help you most.

What's the difference between Luma sessions and a regular massage?

Sessions are slower, deeper, and all-inclusive. There's no menu of services to choose from. You book by time, and any modalities I have available (deep tissue, cupping, hot towels, focused stretching, myofascial work) are part of the session if your body is asking for them. Pace is part of the medicine. The work moves at the speed the nervous system can actually integrate.

What should I wear, and do I need to undress?

Whatever's comfortable for you. Most clients undress to their underwear and are draped throughout the session, never uncovered except in the area being worked on. If you'd prefer to stay more clothed, that's completely fine. We'll cover any preferences in the short pre-session conversation.

Is this a strictly professional, therapeutic practice?

Yes. I provide professional therapeutic massage only, and I maintain a safe, respectful environment at all times. Any inappropriate behavior or requests will result in the session ending immediately.

What's the cancellation policy?

If you're unable to make your appointment, please call (615) 852‑7614 as soon as possible so we can reschedule. As a single-practitioner studio, advance notice means the time can go to someone else who needs it.

Do you offer deep tissue or specific modalities?

Yes. Deep tissue, cupping, hot towels, focused stretching, and myofascial work are all part of my practice. Because sessions are all-inclusive and book by time, there's no need to pick one in advance. The work draws on whatever your body is asking for that day.

Words from clients
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Chronic headaches were just part of the job for me. I'm a freelance videographer, on a screen all day or carrying a heavy camera rig and operating drones. Samantha's slow, deep work on my neck and upper back actually shifts something. I see her regularly now. It's how I keep working without losing days to migraines.
Paul · Videographer
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
I have two herniated discs in my neck (C5-C6 and C6-C7), and the migraines and tension that come with them were a constant. Once a month with Samantha is what's actually keeping it at bay. Not just briefly better, but manageable. Her work is patient and deeply attentive. I leave looser than I've been in years.
Loretta · Monthly client
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
I'm a working musician, and the strain of playing guitar shows up in my shoulders, neck, and upper back almost immediately if I don't stay on top of it. Samantha is who keeps me playing. Deep work without being aggressive, and she actually listens to what's happening in the body that day.
James · Musician
vi. Field Notes

Notes from the table.

Quiet, unhurried writing on the body: what I notice, what I'm learning, what stress looks like under my hands.

A short letter every so often. No advice columns, no ten‑step routines. Just observations from thirteen years of practice and the occasional thought worth sharing.
