with Samantha James

“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

Sammy is a very knowledgeable, kind and attentive health coach who really listens and makes sure that each and every session is tailored to your personal needs. She supports, both during and after sessions, and is passionate about her work. She has an excellent skill set meaning that she can provide all aspects of health coaching from the exercises to rehab so your programme will be holistic and well thought out. I would highly recommend Sammy as a health coach, she, and her encouragement, have made a huge difference to me.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sammy on a 1:2:1 weekly basis for the past 6 weeks and can’t recommend her highly enough. She is compassionate, kind, super strong, highly knowledgeable and a superb body worker/ massage therapist. Her PT sessions are incredibly varied and always meet me where I am at, always bringing new challenges whenever that is appropriate also. I personally benefit from the combination of training and body work each session. I am grateful to have found Sammy and for those contemplating starting personal training sessions, I would say: don’t hesitate, as I did for a while, book an experimental session, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for your support, Sammy .

"I have been seeing Sam now regularly for the past 4 months and she has worked wonders for my body! As a therapist also, I don’t look after myself as I do my clients and my body had reached a point it could not take anymore! Her knowledge and passion of the human body is incredible and she is always learning and expanding her skills. My body has never felt so good and I’m so grateful to of found Sam and her magic hands! She always finds the spots and I always come out on top of the world. If you are looking for an incredible body worker who really knows what they are doing, I highly recommend Samantha without hesitation"! Kay Adams

I came to see Samantha for a problem with tendinitis in my shoulder. Her magic hands and gentle movements worked wonders and enabled better range of movement in my shoulder. Samantha's knowledge and expertise means she was able to diagnose other areas of imbalance and gave some suggestions to strengthen my body. I would highly recommend her services. Karren Dunnet

Having spent an eternity struggling with my mobility, I contacted Sam, at Coastal Therapies, to see if she might be able to help me. She spent a great deal of time analysing my concerns and constructed a six week program to address my concerns and lack of mobility. This included reformer sessions, pilates instruction and various videos and articles which have helped me significantly. All delivered in a fantastic client focussed manner which made me feel great. What can I say to Sam but thank you so much for what you have done for me.
