Why Choose My Services?
My aim is to help you feel more comfortable in your body.

What Clients are saying…
‘Sam doesn’t just spend time massaging, she has so much advice on and understanding of the body its mind blowing. She advocates for your body to you, and I certainly always come out the better for following her lead.’
‘I first went to see Sam about a problem with my neck and shoulder. Sam was incredibly kind and welcoming and explained everything step by step. She helped me realise my problem originated with the treatment I’d had for Breast Cancer which included a lumpectomy and Radiotherapy. Sam treated the resulting scar tissue and has made a huge difference to my everyday life. Amazingly, my breast no longer feels like an alien but part of me again! I had no idea my scar tissue could be treated, and I’m so glad I found Sam!’
‘Just had my fourth appointment with Sam for remedial scar therapy. There is such an improvement in my skin since my first visit. I also get my arm and shoulder massaged to help alleviate tightness and I’m already looking forward to going back in a month. Would totally recommend Sam if you have scar or pain issues.’
‘I wasn’t sure to expect with a csection massage but Sam was so amazing. She welcomed me into her home, had a chat before and after the massage and explained so much about my scar to me that I hadn’t been told in the hospital. Cannot reccomend Sam enough. Thank you!’
‘Amazing appointment with Sam, as always. Sam has great knowledge and makes me feel really relaxed to ask anything. I have had two c-sections and am currently 7 months postnatal. I’m struggling with the c-section ‘shelf’ but Sam is helping to soften the appearance and work on my digestive health too. Can’t recommend more highly!’
‘Soo good! More than just a massage! Has really got to the source of my back pain- sleeping better after just one massage. Would recommend to any pregnant mummies getting uncomfortable!’
‘Another great massage from Sam tonight! Thank you so much and for your advice on my post baby body. So professional, friendly and amazing healing hands!’
‘I have been attending Sam for c section massage. In recent months I have had my 2nd section.
Sam has gave me so much advice on how to help my recovery, understand my scar and what my body has gone through. Since having massages this time round, I am getting better feeling back and my scar is certainly less tight. I highly recommend anyone who has had a section to visit Sam for a massage. I wish I went to Sam after my 1st section.’
‘Another fab massage from Sam. Legs are feeling great – Sam is keeping them in good working order on a weekly basis in the run up to the big race!
Highly recommended – get yourself booked up soon!’
‘Sam is brilliant! I was really struggling with pain very early on in my second pregnancy and she has provided the best relief. I actually slept through for the first time in weeks. Have used her home space and at the fitness centre and both spaces are lovely, quiet and relaxing. Just what I needed but just wish I could go every week.’
