Samantha is a passionate and instinctual practitioner who started her healing journey at a young age. Her first exposure to alternative healing, was with Reiki, via her mother at the age of 8. In October 2014 she graduated with honors and at the top of her class at The International Academy of Massage. After 9 years in practice as an RMT, she has shifted her practice into a more holistic direction.
Once an owner of multiple multi-disciplinary clinics in Kanata, Samantha has since resigned and has begun her solo practice here at Alleviate. She created S. Hughes Holistics, to encompass her unique style of treatment, passion for selfcare and natural gifts.
Samantha often combines multiple modalities such as massage, reflexology, cranio-sacral and Reiki, in order to work with her clients’ individual needs. (For combination treatment book Interdisciplinary Healing Session). She was trained at Versailles Academy for Esthetics (Facials/Skincare) and offers Holistic Organic Facials and Skincare Treatments. She is a Green Envee Wellness Spa Partner, with further training through this superior line. She looks forward to continuing her training in Aesthetics.
Further to this, Samantha preforms sound and/or frequency healing and intuitive work. Her goal is to approach every client holistically, incorporating relief and care of the physical body, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for the psyche and providing comfort and validation through spiritual guidance. A session with Samantha is truly a mind, body, soul experience.

Intuitive Tarot Readings
A tarot card reading session with Samantha is fun and relaxed, just like you're talking to a close friend.
She connects with Tarot as a tool for interpreting Universal guidance through symbols, patterns, colours, and energies that she receives for each client. Each reading will start with an overview spread that is thematic to the energy patterns in your life. She then reads the cards by looking at a number of different topics, people, and dynamics in your life. The reading will include possible life lessons through relationships and events in your life, areas still in need of healing. It can include the past and present energy patterns at play, and the possibilities for the future.
Tarot Card Readings are a safe, positive, and enlightening way to gain insight into your career, relationships, finances, and everyday life.
Disclaimer: Tarot is for educational and entertainment purposes. The thoughts and opinions expressed during a reading do not constitute professional or medical advice. Never make decisions solely based on the information offered through a tarot reading. Always consult a professional in the area of your particular needs.
