About Silk Mill Therapies

Having worked in London as a Creative Producer for 10 years Sam became ill with an autoimmune disease that attacked her thyroid.  She had struggled with her health, sensitivities and weight gain for most of her adult life but there was little known about Hashimoto's, how it affects the human body and why it arrives.  One thing was for sure was that a lifestyle change was essential and so her journey to health and studying health became her mission.  

Sam uses a combination of massage and bodywork tools that she has learnt over a 20 year period including Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Deep Tissue/Sports Massage, Trigger Point and Accupressure, Myofacia Release, Aromatherapy, LomiLomi, Indian Head Massage, Reflexology and Nutrition.

She is a huge believer in being in nature as part of our healing and spent a lot of time living and working in the Alps, where she finds the air and active life really beneficial to her own well being.  She is now based in the countryside in Somerset and encourages everyone to get out whatever the weather, 

She is currently completing a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy.  This will complete her holisitic package of Mind Body Spirit.  WATCH THIS SPACE!
