Testimonials

In my journey through breast cancer treatment I have found in Samantha not only her Sava services and products essential and lifesaving but her kindness and support were of immense help through treatment.

All throughout chemotherapy, surgery pre and post op, and radiation Samantha’s guidance , openness, and kindred spirit have helped in my journey though treatment.

The daily routine for my skin worked wonderfully having friends and family commenting on how my skin looked healthier than ever. I religiously followed hydration, and all skin care directions by Samantha before, during, and after every chemo session, surgery, and pre / post radiation sessions. Particularly through radiation the My Girls Butter worked miracles.

Now after going through treatment I continue following Samantha’s advice and using her products, my skin is looking incredible healthy.

Thank you dear Samantha!

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredibly generous and thoughtful gift provided to me – a complimentary facial treatment at SAVA.

As a cancer survivor, my journey has been one filled with challenges and triumphs. Throughout my treatment and recovery, I have been fortunate to have the support of wonderful individuals like you who have shown unwavering kindness and compassion. Your offer of a complimentary facial has touched my heart in a way that words alone cannot express.

This thoughtful gesture has not only rejuvenated my skin but has also had a positive impact on my well-being. The experience Samantha provides is not just a treatment, but a healing experience for the soul.

More than the physical benefits, your kind gift served as a reminder that there is goodness and compassion in the world. It uplifted my spirits, boosted my self-esteem, and reminded me to celebrate the small joys in life.

I want to commend your efforts and dedication to the well-being of individuals who have faced life-altering challenges.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and for making me feel special. I am truly appreciative of your kindness.

I look forward to future visits with Samantha and hope to pay it forward in some way.

After my Stem Cell Transplant I developed Graft versus Host Disease along with a bumpy rash on all of my face. After a lengthy FREE phone consultation with Samantha I booked an appointment for a facial with her. She analyzed my skin, then gave me the most relaxing and cleansing facial I have ever had! From the heated table to the music and the arm/hand massage-it was fabulous! My regular cleanser was burning my face so I bought some of her Hush & Hale Quiet Wash, which is very gentle yet cleansing (and doesn’t burn). Samantha also gave me several products that day, including 3 facial masks, lip cream and jojoba oil. The next day Samantha checked in with me to see how I was doing and decided that I needed another one of her products, the Hush & Hale Hydrate Mask. So she drove an hour to my house to personally deliver this product! If you want compassionate, knowledgeable skin care, you have come to the right place with SAVA Face & Body and Samantha Kool.

Given how sensitive I am to everything right now, the only spa treatment I am comfortable with is a facial from you :).

I really enjoyed the facial that I had with Samantha. The waiting area was very comfortable. The facial room was inviting and temperature and bed were very comfortable. I’m a little difficult laying down as I need a neck and knee pillow to be comfortable but Samantha immediately knew what I needed and made me very comfortable. She gives a great facial, her products felt good on my skin. We talked a little about the process but she was also very quiet so that it was easy to relax. I highly recommend Samantha and will go back when I’m in Austin! I give her five ⭐️s!

I have been very fortunate to have met Samantha at the Breast Cancer retreat. I was so impressed with the service she provided at the retreat that I booked a facial with her. The facial she provided was the best. She first asked several questions before starting my facial. The facial was wonderful; I couldn’t wait to book another one. I also had a back massage that was the best I’ve ever had. I cannot wait to book another appointment for a facial and back message”. “ At the end of your facial Samantha provides you with her findings and mentions the products she used. Samantha does not push you into buying any products. I actually purchased Hale & Hush Sensitive Skin Hush Hydrate Mask; I love this product.

Thank you Samantha, and thank you for taking the time to share important information about how to care for my skin as I deal with cancer treatments. I’m sure I will have questions. It’s nice to know there’s someone who may be able to help with the answers.

When I first was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was uncertain of the types of support I would need. I knew that cancer treatment, and specifically chemotherapy, can severely stress and damage skin. I was so lucky to find Samantha before starting chemotherapy treatments and to work with her throughout all my chemo sessions. Samantha is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate in cancer patient skincare. She was able to access my skin at each stage of my cancer treatment to help keep it healthy and avoid potential cracking from extreme chemo related rashes. I don’t know what I would have done without Samantha. My skin was so painful after chemotherapy that I could hardly smile. Samantha thoughtfully chose oncology approved skincare products that were gentle and soothing. She gave me products to take home with me that helped soothe and moisturize my inflamed skin. I’m so grateful for her skill and experience that saved my skin from potential scarring. Working with her was a critical part of managing my side effects during treatment and recovery. I continue to see Samantha as I enter the next phase of my treatment, radiation. I trust that she will guide me through taking care of my skin during this time as well. I highly recommend working with her during a cancer journey, she is a wonderful soul and phenomenal skincare and massage therapist.
