This information is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

While Samantha Sanchez is a licensed healthcare provider recognized under California law and holds a valid License as a Massage Therapist (LMT #73931) and is certified by the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC), the services provided by Dynamic Body Therapies are holistic, complementary, and integrative in nature. We approach healing from a whole-person perspective that includes physical, energetic, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.

You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, diagnosis, or treatment plan. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this Website or received from Dynamic Body Therapies.

The services offered by Dynamic Body Therapies—including functional bodywork, massage therapy, energy healing, intuitive work, the S.A.M.I. System (Soul Aligned Mirthgrave Integration System), intensive healing journeys, workshops, and all related therapeutic modalities—are complementary and supportive in nature.

Dynamic Body Therapies does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, medical condition, or illness as defined by conventional Western medicine.

Our services are designed to:

• Support your body's natural healing processes
• Release physical tension and restrictions
• Address energetic imbalances
• Facilitate emotional and somatic integration
• Promote overall well-being and vitality
• Complement conventional medical treatment

Dynamic Body Therapies does not replace the care provided by licensed physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, or other conventional healthcare practitioners.

Healing is a deeply individual process influenced by numerous factors, including but not limited to:

• Your unique physiology, health history, and genetics
• Current health status and medical conditions
• Mental, emotional, and spiritual state
• Lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, sleep, stress levels)
• Level of commitment to the healing process
• Consistency and frequency of sessions
• Integration work done between sessions
• Support systems and environment
• Other treatments or therapies you are receiving

Because of the highly individualized nature of holistic healing, results can vary significantly from person to person.

No Guarantees

Dynamic Body Therapies makes no guarantees, representations, or warranties regarding specific outcomes, speed or extent of healing, elimination of pain/symptoms, prevention of future issues, or typical results.

Healing Is Not Linear

Healing often occurs in spirals rather than straight lines. You may experience improvements followed by temporary setbacks, emotional releases, temporary intensification of symptoms (sometimes called a healing crisis), or non-linear progress. This does not indicate treatment failure.

4.1 Personal Responsibility

• Communicate openly about comfort level and concerns during sessions
• Follow self-care recommendations only if appropriate for you

4.2 Mandatory Medical Consultation

You must consult with your physician or other qualified healthcare professional before:

• Beginning any new therapy, bodywork, or wellness program
• Making changes to your medical treatment plan

This is especially critical if you have pre-existing conditions, are pregnant/nursing, take prescriptions, have clotting/cardiovascular history, recent surgery/injuries, compromised immune function, mental health conditions, cancer treatment/recovery, chronic pain, unexplained symptoms, seizure disorders, or neurological conditions.

These referrals are suggestions only—you are responsible for choosing and engaging with providers.

Certain health conditions may require medical clearance before receiving bodywork or may make certain techniques inappropriate. It is your responsibility to inform us of any health conditions you have.

Dynamic Body Therapies incorporates energy healing and intuitive work into many sessions. This may include:

• Reading and working with your body's energy field
• Intuitive assessment and somatic awareness
• Chakra balancing and energetic release work
• Emotional and spiritual dimensions of healing

Nature of Energetic Work

Energy healing operates on principles not fully recognized or explained by conventional Western science. While many clients report benefits, the mechanisms and efficacy have not been scientifically proven or validated by mainstream medical research.

Emotional Releases

Energy work and deep bodywork can bring up intense emotions, memories, or physical sensations. You may experience:

• Crying, laughter, or other emotional expressions during or after sessions
• Temporary intensification of emotions or physical symptoms
• Fatigue or need for rest as your system integrates healing
• Dreams or insights related to your healing process
• Shifts in relationships, patterns, or life circumstances

If you experience severe emotional distress or concerning symptoms, seek support from a licensed mental health professional.

Contraindications for Energetic Work

Energy healing may not be appropriate for individuals who:

• Are actively experiencing psychosis or severe mental health crises
• Are not consenting to or comfortable with energetic approaches
• Have significant trauma history without adequate mental health support in place

Please inform us of any mental health conditions or concerns so we can tailor our approach appropriately.
