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

I have be seeing Sam quite regularly for some time now usually for a Lymphatic Drainage massage and Reflexology. Sam is always so professional and extremely knowledgeable and carries out all the treatments with such care and empathy. She seems to know instinctively where the issues are and can always ease the tension and aches that I’m feeling. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her." Caroline Briggs

Sam is incredible. She knows so much about all aspects of massage, the lymphatic system, reflexology, supplements, women's health ...and just about anything really! I really enjoy the massages with her, she always fixes any issues/niggles I may have, she's so knowledgeable and puts you completely at ease. SO GOOD ! Love her :)" Pinky Robinson.

"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 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. 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 .Alex

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
