Item description
“Whether it’s sports recovery, injury rehab, or just relaxation - Samantha is fantastic. Her massages always feel so personalised, intuitive and full of good energy” - Fred Stone.
“After over 20 years of back problems with reoccurring injuries (spasms/bulge/herniation) this is first time I've ever had an injury and stayed really positive & felt there is a way forward for me. I've felt so supported not only during the injury but also with the rehabilitation. The physio app is perfect as I'm not great at working from sheets or the Internet or from memory (I suffer with short term) and the videos are so helpful. I love how you can mark each exercise with pain/progress/feedback and can communicate with Sam. Where do I start with the therapy? How can I describe it... It's like having a week long retreat in one session!! I absolutely Love that she doesn't just offer just one therapy but chooses a combination to suit your injury and your bodies needs eg. bowen, massage, cupping, ultrasound, hot stone, acupuncture. It's feels quite life changing to have found Sam as I now have treatment, rehab and strengthening all within one person. She really is a superhuman and I feel so grateful for her time and energy. I feel like I finally have hope for being able to continue with the activities (surfing, sailing, swimming, hiking, yoga) that I love so much and the life I'd like to continue living, you've given that back to me. THANK YOU SO MUCH SAM”! Debs Nettley

“Welcome to Coastal Health
Welcome — I’m Sammy James
Clinical Therapist & Integrative Coach
Helping you recover, rebuild, and reconnect with your body.
With over 14 years of experience in pain recovery, movement rehab, and nervous system support, I specialise in working with people navigating:
• Injury or MSK pain
• Long-term health conditions & fatigue
• Perimenopause and menopause
• Stress, overwhelm, and nervous system dysregulation
My approach combines:
• Hands-on therapy (Bowen, manual therapy, acupuncture, reflexology)
• Strength and mobility rehabilitation (including Pilates and gym-based work)
• Lymphatic, vagus nerve & breathwork techniques
• Personalised coaching for lifestyle, nutrition, and stress management
This is not a one-size-fits-all clinic. It’s a space for calm, personalised care — guided by the science of how we heal, and grounded in the belief that your body is wise, adaptable, and deserving of support.
You’re not broken.
