ABOUT

Dr. Sam Mishra (h.c.) is a British medical and sports massage therapist, integrative wellness practitioner, educator, author, and advocate specialising in trauma-informed care. With a clinical foundation built on nine years as a surgical nurse and three years as a midwife in a high-risk labour ward, she has developed a multidisciplinary approach that combines medical massage, oncology and lymphatic therapies, aromatherapy, breathwork, hypnotherapy, Reiki, transformational coaching, and intuitive healing. As founder of The Medical Massage Lady and an accredited training provider, Mishra has created specialist educational programmes that emphasise evidence-informed practice and patient safety. She is widely recognised for her work in trauma rehabilitation, health education, and promoting greater understanding of complex medical conditions through accessible public awareness initiatives. In recognition of her contributions to integrative wellness and community impact, she was awarded an honorary doctorate in Integrative Wellness and Social Impact.

Beyond clinical practice, Mishra has dedicated much of her career to community service, education, and charitable initiatives supporting vulnerable individuals. She established referral pathways for survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault, contributed to fundraising campaigns for families in need, supported women’s health initiatives, and has raised funds and donated essential resources for charitable causes. A former Senior Executive Contributor to Brainz Magazine, she has authored more than 60 articles on wellness, trauma, and holistic healthcare. Her first book, Where Wounds Live, explores trauma-informed healing, while her second book, Beautifully Broken, continues her work on resilience and recovery. Through her teaching, publications, and advocacy, Mishra has become a respected voice in integrative healthcare, with her medically grounded approach influencing practitioners and communities both within the United Kingdom and internationally.
