As an athlete I have started seeing Sammy to help with all my little aches and pains from loads of training. She is not only amazing at what she does but professional, makes you feel comfortable and genuinely cares about YOU and always wants to make sure you are feeling 100% when you leave her. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough!!
