Hello, I’m Sam

I’m Sam, founder of Samkalpa, offering yoga, massage and aromatherapy in Somerset.

My journey into holistic therapies began during significant changes in my life. Living with an autoimmune condition and hypothyroidism, I discovered how practices that support both body and mind could make a meaningful difference.

Yoga and massage helped me find greater strength, energy, ease and calm. These benefits inspired me to train and qualify in yoga, massage and aromatherapy.

Today, I offer a personal, holistic approach, adapting each practice and treatment to the individual where appropriate.

Yoga can support strength, mobility and balance, helping you feel more confident and connected to your body at every age.

Massage provides time to pause and reconnect. It can encourage relaxation, ease everyday muscular tension and offer a welcome break from daily demands. Treatments are bespoke and may include carefully chosen aromatherapy blends.

Whether you want to build strength, move more freely, relax or simply take time for yourself, I offer a welcoming space to slow down, breathe and feel supported.

At Samkalpa, I believe self-care is about listening to what you need, embracing life’s changes and finding ways to feel more at home in yourself.
