Adam DeVito

Adam DeVito (LMBT NC# 18956) has been working with the body for as long as he can remember. His journey began around the age of 7 when his next-door neighbor got a trampoline.  Although he may have been the poster child for “why moms worry,” the trampoline sparked a passion for movement that has yet to leave. It evolved into a competitive diving career that ended at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA where he is the current record holder for both 1m and 3m diving. 

Adam became interested in massage out of necessity. A bike accident separated the acromioclavicular joint in his shoulder and left him in chronic pain at twenty-four years old. After working his way through the medical system with little improvement, he happened to meet an orthopedic massage therapist. To say the experience blew hi mind would be an understatement. After one session he had both increased range of motion and decreased pain. He was hooked and finally saw a way out of pain.  

A few months later he was enrolled at the Bancroft School of Massage Therapy where he learned firsthand how to help manage and improve chronic pain conditions. He opened Sama in 2018 in Cambridge, Ma, and hasn't looked back. In 2020, he and his wife relocated to Asheville, NC. He re-opened Sama that summer and has been working ever since.

When he's not massaging or teaching yoga, you can find him reading, baking, fermenting, or hiking in the beautiful blue ridge mountains with his family.
