About

Touch of Sam is a single boutique studio in North Raleigh, founded by Samantha Ragan, a Licensed Massage Therapist. The studio's core work is manual lymphatic drainage and post-operative recovery massage. The salon describes itself as a trusted provider of these services in Raleigh and reports a 4.9 rating from 167 Google reviews. According to the salon, Amelia Aesthetics of Raleigh has vetted and interviewed it regarding post-operative lymphatic drainage.

Post-operative sessions are planned with the client's medical team and follow the surgeon's aftercare instructions, avoiding pressure on incision sites. The salon also works as a referral partner for local surgeons, physical therapists and physicians. Oncology massage is a light, adapted massage for people with cancer, and clients are asked to check with their oncologist or care team before booking. It is not a cancer treatment and does not replace medical care.

TMJ massage targets the jaw, neck and facial muscles, with the aim of easing clenching, jaw pain and tension headaches. It is drug-free. Intraoral work, done with a gloved hand, happens only with the client's clear consent. TMJ massage does not replace a diagnosis from a dentist or doctor, and first-time visitors can book without knowing their exact diagnosis.

Other services include body massage for relaxation and muscle tension, and couples massage, where two clients are treated side by side in the same room. Couples packages are optional, session lengths vary by package, and couples can mention a special occasion when booking. Facials include the HydraFacial, with cleansing, extraction and hydration steps, and a holistic facial made with organic products containing vitamins and antioxidants. Assisted stretch therapy, reflexology for the feet, monthly memberships and infrared sauna sessions are also available.

Sessions are customized, with pressure, positioning and pacing adjusted to each client, and post-operative care is coordinated with the client's medical team.

The salon describes the studio as calm and private, a single space where sessions are not rushed.
