It’s nice to be kneaded.

Hi… I am Samantha Matthews a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist providing a variety of therapeutic Massage therapies from the Welwyn Balance Clinic in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire.

Having worked in the city of London in a high pressured sales role for many years the life changing news of parenthood forced me to re-evaluate my priorities! I embarked on my career change in 2010 venturing in to the world of therapy.

I established Welwyn Balance in 2011.

Quickly realising my kitchen based treatment room was not exactly professional or fit for purpose we built (with the kind help & brute force of family & friends) a beautiful log cabin – ‘The Time Out’. Situated at the bottom of our garden and purpose built to accommodate my ever growing cliental I now have the pleasure of working from home whilst providing my family with an onsite mum & wife.

Studying at AS London my training at the Global Wellness Spa Institute put me firmly on the ladder. ITEC Diploma Level 3 Massage – Anatomy & Physiology Swedish Holistic.

My interest in more remedial style techniques lead to ITEC & ASWA Diplomas in Sports Massage and Deep tissue.

My introduction to eastern medicinal massage has grown over the last five years as I have travelled extensively through Thailand. Training at Wat Pho School of Medicine Bangkok and on the beautiful island of Koh Chang it has enabled me to work closely with traditional Thai mentors and methods, my training continues annually. Welwyn Balance offers authentic Thai Massage & Indian Head Massage as additional therapies.

I continue to enjoy furthering my clinical sports education and use both Western & Eastern methods to maximise all the benefits of remedial massage for my clients.
