Sam Mishra – The Medical Massage Lady, UK

A multi-award-winning holistic therapist and global educator redefining trauma-informed care and holistic health.

Sam Mishra, known widely as “The Medical Massage Lady”, is a multi-award-winning holistic therapist whose work has gained international recognition across four continents. A trailblazer in the field of medical massage and trauma therapy, Sam holds multiple roles as a training course provider, advanced medical massage therapist, aromatherapist, oncology and lymphatic practitioner, trauma practitioner, breathwork facilitator, Reiki practitioner, transformational coach, and hypnotherapist.

With a career that seamlessly bridges medical science and holistic therapy, Sam brings a rare depth of understanding to her practice. Her 11 years in medical settings as a nurse and midwife, combined with 28 years of massage experience, have allowed her to design treatments that are both evidence-based and deeply empathetic.

Beyond her clinical expertise, Sam’s work is shaped by her personal journey through disability, mental health challenges, and abuse. These lived experiences have fueled her commitment to helping others navigate trauma and reclaim their wellbeing. Today, she is especially renowned for her specialised trauma work, focusing on survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, as well as early childhood trauma. Her compassionate approach offers not just treatment, but a pathway to empowerment and recovery.

Sam’s dedication has earned her over 40 awards, including several national honours and two global accolades in the past year recognising her educational leadership, therapeutic innovation, and contribution to community and mental health initiatives. In addition to her hands-on therapy work, she is also a prolific writer, having been published more than 35 times internationally, further extending her impact on the holistic health industry worldwide.

Driven by a passion for education and advocacy, Sam aims to make medical and therapeutic knowledge accessible to everyone. She works tirelessly to promote health literacy, ensuring that both practitioners and the public understand medical conditions clearly enough to avoid inappropriate treatments and enhance overall wellbeing. Within the massage industry, she is increasingly recognised for challenging stigma and breaking boundaries pushing the profession toward greater inclusivity, understanding, and respect for trauma informed care.

Looking ahead, Sam is expanding her mission through women’s retreats designed for those healing from unresolved trauma. Alongside her online transformation workshops, she will soon launch intimacy and trauma recovery workshops, offering a safe and supportive environment for personal growth and connection.

Her ongoing educational outreach includes MML Talks, her insightful podcast that explores trauma-related topics, available via her official websites.
