Meet Samantha
Samantha Davis, LMT, CPPMT, CBS, CEIM, and owner of Louisville Prenatal Massage
Hi there!
I'm Samantha Davis (she/her), Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), Certified Prenatal & Postpartum Massage Therapist (CPPMT), Certified Educator of Infant Massage (CEIM), and owner of Louisville Prenatal Massage.
​
With 14+ years of experience as a massage therapist, my goal is to help you feel better so that you can have your best pregnancy and live your best life!
​
Early in my career, studying neuromuscular therapy allowed me to master gentle deep-tissue techniques and provide lasting pain relief. I quickly saw patterns in who was showing up to my practice with chronic pain, from migraine, to fibromyalgia, to hypermobility, and more.
As a curious and lifelong learner, I dove into the disconnection between the fact that 70% of people with chronic pain are women and folks assigned female at birth, but 80% of pain research is conducted on men.
To say this lit the fire in my belly would be an understatement!
In 2022, I founded my practice in Louisville, Kentucky, to serve women and gender-expansive folks experiencing chronic pain. This quickly blossomed into a passion for providing support during the childbearing years — and thus Louisville Prenatal Massage was "born"!
​
After a session at my clinic, you'll feel so much better. Massage can be absolutely life-changing before, during, and after your pregnancy.
​
When I'm not working with clients or continuing my professional education, I enjoy: tending my garden, going on nature walks, reading, and spending quality time with my family, my friends, and my tuxedo kitty, Picabo! And as often as I can get to a home match, you can find me cheering on Racing Louisville, FC at Lynn Family Stadium!
​
I invite you to reach out to me so that we can chat about how massage can help you reduce pain, decrease swelling, and have an easier pregnancy and labor. I look forward to meeting you!
