Meet Sam

My name is Samantha Maliphant and I have been working as a massage therapist and reflexologist since 2008.

I chose to retrain in Holistic Therapy in 2007 when my husband and I discovered we were expecting our first child. I wanted to have a career that I was in charge of so I could fit my time around my daughter and one that also helped people in the way that I had been helped.

I suffer from a spinal condition that was very painful during my teenage years and I was advised by my surgical consultants that my options were surgery or medication for life. I began looking at other ways that I could influence my condition and maybe improve it, so in 2005 I had my first session of reflexology and I immediately felt the benefits. I have been having regular treatments ever since which has improved my condition so much that I now take no medication at all, not even Paracetamol!

I also credit reflexology with helping to aid me through my pregnancy as this was feared to be a difficult time for my spine and in the words of my antenatal consultant:

So I have the utmost faith in what I do! I have since had two more children and having regular treatments helped me through each of their pregnancies as well.

In 2008 I went back to college to begin my training. In 2013 I trained to do Indian Head Massage, which has fitted in very well to the treatments that I already offer. I am always looking to expand my knowledge of the therapies I offer as well as learning new ones to help my clients to the best of my abilities.
