Lymphatic Bodywork

The lymphatic system has a huge role in your immunity, supporting digestion, the circulatory system, cognitive function, the thyroid, kidneys, the heart, bladder and liver function. When it is not working well, it can cause many symptoms and leave you feeling sluggish and under par.

We are exposed to a huge amount of environmental toxins in plastics, furniture, the food we eat, chemicals in our skin products and cleaning products affecting the amount of work the lymphatic system needs to do to support our health immunity.

The lymphatic system fights disease and plays a large role in managing inflammation. Lymphatic cells live within every organ to protect us from infections and viruses. When it is not working effectively we experience low-level inflammation,
.

We can experience:
Headaches, musculoskeletal pain - Bloating - Weight gain and excess belly fat - Brain fog - Allergies/sinus problems - Skin issues - Puffy hands, feet and face and generally feeling under par.

This treatment aims to clear blockages and the assist the flow of lymph from vessels to lymph nodes to be cleaned and returned to circulatory system, restoring health and vitality.

This soothing and relaxing treatment works by stimulating reflex points on the feet to encourage healing and whole-body equilibrium.

Reflexology has been known to help with a variety of conditions including fertility issues, menopause, PMT, stress and anxiety, IBS, and reducing side effects of cancer treatment as well as many other conditions.

It helps the body to restore its natural state (homeostasis). As your therapist, I will use a combination of acupressure points and massage techniques on areas specific areas on your feet, relevant to your individual needs. Usually, after a treatment, you will feel more relaxed and have a positive sense of wellbeing and improved mood.

PREGNANCY MASSAGE

This bespoke treatment using 100% safe essential oils specially chosen for pregnancy, will adapt to your ever-changing needs. You can choose whether you wish to be pampered or need relief from the aches and pains of carrying your precious bump.

As a Mum of four children, I remember well the rollercoaster of both the emotional and physical journey of pregnancy.

Every mother experiences pregnancies uniquely and no pregnancy is the same.

Massage is so important for both the duration and postpartum.

When we give so much of ourselves to nurture a baby, it is fundamental to receive care and nurture for ourselves.

The 9 month journey of emotional transitioning and hormonal, physical and lifestyle changes can take around two years to fully rebalance and recover.

Massage and Bowen can help support physiologically and emotionally throughout, allowing you to be in the best physical, emotional and mental, condition to nurture your baby.

During my pregnancy I found I really missed lying prone and didn’t enjoy side lying massage as much. Consequently I found treating side lying difficult, so I have invested in an pregnancy bolster system which allows you to lie prone comfortably, aiding full relaxation and optimal access to treat the aches and pains of pregnancy.

Integrated Bowen Therapy

45 mins··£45

Bowen is an overall body balancer for physiological wellbeing (hormones, lymphatics, musculoskeletal, nervous system...), as well as emotional wellbeing. Its gentle and calming moves evoke relaxation which has an effect on the tension of the whole body. It can regulate hormones, sleep patterns, and mood swings.

I will be using a combination of Bowen, kinesiology techniques and aspects of lymphatics, Vagus nerve and body system assessments to help restore equilibrium in the body.

Bowen is used to restore your natural postural function, asymmetry, and balance as well as calming all body systems and supporting kidney, respiratory, lymphatic, and circulatory functions for optimum health. This gentle treatment is done through loose comfortable clothing and is safe for babies, the elderly, pregnancy, and all disabilities/health issues.

Bowen has had recorded success for a huge variety of health conditions including:

Muscular/fascial pain, asthma, autoimmune disease, depression/anxiety, back pain, sciatica, frozen shoulder, chronic pain, surgery recovery, colic, IBS, injury recovery and many more.

Based on the information you have provided and a postural assessment the gentle rolling movements gives information to precise areas of your body so that the receptors in the muscle and tendons via the nervous system can decide whether the muscle is holding too much or too little tension, is it hypotonic or atrophied? Does it need to let go of an old pain cycle?

Pain can occur when the nervous system panics and feels that you are in danger, and either stops movement or changes the movement pattern using other muscles (dysfunctional movement patterns). Pain is a big subject currently being researched. Where you feel the pain isn’t necessarily where the problem is. Bowen works well as it gives information and resets the nervous system for the body to correct issues throughout the entire matrix.

NB: The Breaks - Bowen is different from other therapies as we have 2-5 minutes breaks between areas worked. This is so that the body can use the information given to make changes. When a muscle is overworked via manual manipulation techniques – research has shown that the receptors within muscles, tendons become confused and shut down. Bowen allows breaks so that the body can go into introspection in order to make the required changes. This is what makes Bowen so profound and the results can be immediate or progressive over the course of a few days.

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 came to see Sam 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. Sam'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.

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.
