Hello, I’m Samantha
Fortunately, I already had various tools at hand to heal my body and worked in cooperation with my physiotherapist to recover in a fraction of the time it took his other patients to heal.
Having taught movement therapy for over 20 years while working with industry leaders, I have distilled my experience through my work with people all over the world.
I was once in a similar position many of my clients are…
While teaching a Pilates class, a 900-kg mirrored WALL came crashing down on us all.
Four of us were trapped beneath it and hospitalised with serious injuries. I suffered a crushed pelvis, fractured ribs, and PTSD that made healing that much more out of reach. After a year of recovery, I began to work side by side in collaboration with my physiotherapist, helping his patients. Some of the pathologies I commonly saw included neurological disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, orthopaedics, and acquired brain injury survivors.
My natural passion for human physiology has helped me to develop strong physical mastery.
I had never suffered an injury throughout my professional dance career, nor broken a single bone in my body, until the day that wall came down. I found myself lying in a hospital bed with uncertainty about my future career and knew if I was to dance again I had to take the healing process into my own hands.
Making change is never easy. However, I have done so myself in the past, leaving the UK to spend 3 years in North America studying under the founders of ‘Tribal Style Belly Dance’ and 4 years touring globally with a Los Angeles dance company.
Years later, I moved to France, learned a new language, and had two children in a foreign country. I have learned that making big shifts and taking a leap of faith will lead you in the right direction.
Having survived the accident and come back stronger, I know first hand the human body’s capacity to heal itself is extraordinary and is full of unseen potential.
