soothing holistic massage for every mind, body and spirit

About Sam
As an MTI Registered Holistic Massage Therapist, my training has given me a deep understanding in the principles of massage and bodywork. Since qualifying, I have been running a regular clinic from my home in Southville, treating a range of clients from all ages and walks of life.

My background working in the corporate sector gave me first hand experience of the effects of chronic stress. As a company director for over 8 years I was under constant pressure. I suffered much back and neck pain as an outcome of this, and as a recipient of holistic massage, I became very aware of what a profound effect this technique could have, not only the body but also the mind. When I combined my personal experiences, my interest in people and wellbeing with my love of yoga, bodywork and meditation, massage felt like the next natural step for me.

Trained with the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork, under the expert tuition of Tim Bartlett and Charmaine Storer, I am registered with both CNHC and MTI. I see my learning as an ongoing journey and I continue to actively deepen my knowledge through a regular programme of training, CPD and supervision. Alongside this, every day I am honoured to learn so much from the wonderful clients I am lucky enough to work with.

Outside of massage, I am passionate about retaining my own regular yoga practice for relaxation and to ensure all of my treatments come from a very centred and balanced place. My yoga contributes tremendously to my understanding of the body on an anatomical level, but at the same time continues to prove to me how powerful change can be made through relaxation, breath and self-awareness. 

As well as being devoted to all aspects of yoga, I’m a keen swimmer and lover of nature. I walk often, and as well as spending time in the outdoors I’m also equally fond of cooking, eating and sharing time with friends.

About the treatment room
Located in Southville just a stones throw away from the Tobacco Factory, my treatment room is a cosy and inviting space designed totally with relaxation in mind.There’s plenty of on-street parking nearby and access is not a problem with the room being downstairs.

Please note that although both the treatment room and toilet are downstairs I am not able to provide disabled access. Clients with limited mobility may prefer for me to visit them in their own home however I'm afraid that I do need to charge an additional fee to cover travel time and expenses.

To find out more about the sessions read What to expect from your treatment. There's also lots of info in the FAQs.
