Sammy Ramiz

Holistic Complementary Therapist, Reflexology, Usui Reiki, Indian Head Massage

I offer standalone or combination treatments that focus on easing emotional and physical stress and tension, while providing a calm and safe space for you to rest and unwind.

My work is especially suited to people who find it difficult to switch off, hold tension, feel anxious, are grieving or simply feel depleted. Drawing on techniques learned through different teachers and modalities, I’ll tailor each session to suit how you present on the day.

Reflexology is my foundation skill. Here, I’ll use varying pressure techniques on your feet, hands or face, working into the skin and underlying tissues while sensing for areas of tension and imbalance. Treatments combine deep relaxation with symptom-focused work and subtle energy techniques, gently supporting your nervous system and creating a sense of ease and total decompression.

Having experienced Reiki myself, I was interested to learn Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki, a gentle Japanese energy healing practice that supports the body’s natural ability to restore balance and wellbeing. Reiki energy felt kind and safe. It helped me to relax deeply, balancing my emotions during times of grief and lowered my feelings of stress and anxiety. It worked broadly, supporting transformative changes in my life and lifestyle while I journeyed through ill health. I am absolutely fascinated by energy work and how that translates in a treatment. People notice how cumulative sessions become transformational; helping them strengthen resilience, feeling more able to step up and cope with stressful events.

Continuing my observations of the body’s held stress and tension, I became interested in learning Indian Head Massage/Champissage after I simply massaged a friend’s post-party headache away. Easing tension out of their scalp, it left them feeling completely reset. The technique I learned is a westernised version that works the shoulder blades, upper arms, shoulders, neck, scalp and face. Sessions are available seated and fully clothed or laying on a couch with vegan liquiwax.

Before training as a complementary therapist, I worked for many years within the NHS in both GP practice and hospital settings. As part of my transformation, I qualified in Reflexology in 2021 and continue deepening my training and practice in complementary therapies.
