We are truly delighted to share a wonderful accomplishment. Our very own massage therapist, Samantha Gainey, has been voted first place for Best Massage Therapist in Orlando Weekly’s Best of Orlando 2025! It is an honor that speaks deeply to her commitment, skill, and the impact she has on every client she serves.

If you have ever been searching for an exceptional massage therapist, here is your sign.


A Healing Journey Rooted in Empathy and Expertise

Samantha’s path to massage therapy is as heartfelt as it is professional. She originally pursued a preclinical degree at the University of Central Florida, but her own experience with structural injuries turned her attention toward holistic healing. After years of chronic back pain and being told by doctors there was nothing they could do, she discovered fascial stretch therapy. Just one session brought relief she had never imagined, and it lit a fire in her heart to help others in the same way.

Samantha earned her license from the Orlando School of Therapeutic Massage in 2018, and has been guided by a deeply personal mission ever since. She says she is passionate about helping people live again when they have been told there is no hope, and she strives to bring compassion and understanding to every session because she knows firsthand what it feels like to be unheard.


Versatile, Personalized, and Rooted in Results

Samantha works with a diverse clientele, from weekend warriors and professional athletes to post operative patients and those navigating rehab. She specializes in sports injury massage therapy, helping clients reduce pain, improve mobility, and support recovery.

Her approach is never one size fits all. She relies on a full toolkit of modalities and customizes each session based on her assessment of the individual’s body and goals. Her treatment style is rooted in the art of piecing together the puzzle that is the human body.


Recognized by the Community

This recognition from Orlando Weekly as Best of Orlando 2025, first place for Best Massage Therapist, validates the heart and skill Samantha brings to her work. It is a nod not just to her expertise, but to the difference she makes in people’s lives.

If you want a counselor that is not just going to teach your child a few coping skills, but is really invested in working with the family to sustain positive outcomes you need to check out Julie and Winter Garden Kids. Julie was a colleague of mine and former supervisor who’s top priority has always been working in cooperation with the child and family to help maximize positive counseling outcomes. Positive encouragement, open listening, and gentle guidance are characteristics of Julie's professionalism that I love about her approach. Julie has a contagious passion for life and enhancing the child and family relationship. Encouraging growth, exploration, and learning are all a part of what Julie does effortlessly when you work with her. For me, meeting and working with Julie has been a huge bright spot in my career as she has taught me what an exceptionally proficient, moral, ethical, Clinical Counselor truly looks like. I would highly recommend taking a look at Julie and Winter Garden Kids if you are looking for Counseling services.

I highly recommend Bryan for individual and couples therapy. He always made me feel comfortable and I felt like I could be myself which is super important when going to counseling.

Samantha’s massages always relieve my shoulder pain and IT band tension. She targets problem areas and has greatly improved my mobility. Thank you, Sam – you’re amazing!

I met with Bryan for about 8 months. I began meeting with him individually (for about 5 months) and for the final 3 months, my partner and I went together. We cannot be any more emphatic when we say that our experience with Bryan was wonderful.

Bryan demonstrates a superb level of care and commitment to his clients. He fosters an environment of openness, honesty, and acceptance that allows clients to confront their flaws and limitations in order to heal and make changes for the better. It is clear that Bryan is in this profession for all the right reasons and is gifted as a counselor. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

Thank you Bryan!

To put it simply Bryan is a superstar! Yes, he is an excellent therapist...I have several family members and friends who have been referred to him, and he is absolutely wonderful. He has and uses a Christian foundation with his counseling and has a calm, pleasant demeanor that puts his patients at ease. He is insightful with his approach to therapy and I would recommend him to any colleague, friend, or patient without reservation.

I started working with Bryan 7 months prior to writing this review. I went alone in hopes that he could help with some relationship issues I was unable to solve on my own. Bryan has been nothing short of a miracle in my life. My story is still being written, but I look forward to my appointments with him. He is calm, kind-hearted, and genuinely wants me to succeed. He looks at every angle and gives guidance/suggestions that only betters my situation. Bryan is extremely intelligent and knows how to help people. Better than that he enjoys helping people. I will continue to refer him to anyone and everyone. True companionate people are not just hard to find but he does with the intent of actually building his patients up. I can not say enough great things about him, and strongly recommend him to anyone in need.

My husband and I met with Bryan for about 5 months. The time and money we spent were without a doubt, one of the very best investments we have made for our marriage. The care and commitment with which Bryan treats his clients are outstanding. He patiently, kindly, and honestly helps clients understand situations or wounds with clarity to which he offers sound and concrete steps towards healing. Bryan helped my husband and I to grow as individuals as well as together as a couple, and our marriage was strengthened tremendously.

After our marriage counseling concluded, I continued to meet with Bryan individually for about 3 months. Bryan helped me to understand my need for a better relationship with God which sent me on a journey that completely changed my life. I continue to live with the same struggles (from an incurable medical issue) yet I no longer suffer from the debilitating depression it used to cause me. I will never be able to adequately thank Bryan for the gift his counseling gave me and my marriage.

I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone.

Thank you, Bryan!
