In this episode, I'm speaking with Sam Kankanamge, founder of Sen Wellness in London. Sen Wellness is a Harley Street clinic offering alternative therapies for physical and emotional healing. Different to many Western forms of medicine, the clinic specialises in alternative methodologies including osteopathy, acupuncture and acupressure. They treat a range of physical, emotional and energetic ailments and imbalances, and also teach rituals and courses to educate and empower clients to actively influence their healing journey, realising their own innate healing abilities.

Sam grew up in Sri Lanka and so his Eastern influences are really interesting. He shares simplistic ideas for reducing stress and anxiety, as well as the power of natural resources for healing and rebalancing the body and mind.

In this episode we delve deep into the techniques Sam uses at his clinic in London as well as his retreat sanctuary back in Sri Lanka. We explore the foundations of osteopathy, acupressure and acupuncture, as well as ayurvedic teachings and general holistic approaches to modern life.

We also explore the healing potential within us, and the importance of not falling victim to the dependent culture that is becoming more and more prevalent. We talk about treating a person as a unique individual, and as a whole - with many things taken into consideration - as well as the inevitability of personal change. We look at how we can acknowledge and manage certain changes, both negative and positive, as well as how to support ourselves in times of imbalance or emotional difficulty. We explore the importance of developing positive habits in order to feel confident, empowered and equipped for modern life and our ever-changing moods, emotions and physical conditions.
