Meet our Massage Therapists

Heather S.

I grew up in Lake Orion and currently live in Berkley. I have an awesome daughter, Kaitlyn and two crazy cats named Cali and Louise. I enjoy music and concerts, traveling, exercising, being with family, friends, and my amazing boyfriend and his son.

My career began in 2002 at Carnegie Institute in Troy, Michigan, where I received 1000 hours of class, clinic, and externship experience. I have been a proud member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) since 2002. I have been lucky enough to work as a licensed massage therapist with Van Every Family Chiropractic Center since Fall 2002.

I specialize in Swedish massage, oncology/hospital massage, Reiki, and lymphatic massage, and am a massage instructor as well. I absolutely love massage therapy and the career path I have chosen.

Sam R.

I grew up in Clinton Township and currently call Royal Oak home. I live with my wonderful fiancé and my cat Sophie. In my spare time, I love to read, write and practice yoga. I enjoy traveling, concerts, trying new foods, and spending time with friends and family. I have a bachelor’s degree in English literature from Central Michigan University. After graduating from college in 2012 and working several desk jobs, I decided to follow a different path and study massage therapy.

I started my massage therapy career in August of 2016 when I enrolled in Dorsey School’s 900-hour program. I quickly became absorbed in the physical and mental health benefits that massage therapy had to offer, and I could not be happier with the career path that I’ve chosen.

I’m a proud member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), and I specialize in Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, prenatal massage, stress/pain management, and trigger point therapy. I recently joined the Van Every Family Chiropractic Center team, and I am excited to help my clients achieve their health goals.
