about me

Who am I?

Hi there, I’m Sam Davies, aka ‘Yourhealthnomad’.


I just wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself, so you can learn more about who I am, and what makes me tick. 


In 2021 I sold my successful Chiropractic business and ended an engagement because I was burnt out and out of love. At age 37, I made a scary yet necessary decision. I sold everything, packed up my things and went traveling for 18 months.


This was a life changing experience and a real turning point for me. As someone in the healthcare industry for 13 years, you’d think I’d have already learnt to prioritise my own health and wellness, but it wasn’t until I made this decision that this truly happened. 


I am now dedicated to creating a life that supports my overall physical, mental and emotional health, and I am also dedicated to helping you do the same, achieving your health and wellness goals and gaining your autonomy back over your mind, body and spirit.


I believe that we all have the power to change our lives, and that we should never settle for a life that isn’t making us happy.


Things that I love include travel, yoga, fitness, spirituality/mindfulness, self development and spending time with friends. 

My Academic History

I graduated in 2012 from the Welsh institute of Chiropractic with a Distinction. Since then I have expanded my knowledge and skills not only within Chiropractic, but holistically also.


I gained my Level 5 Diploma in Health & Wellness Coaching and 200hr Yoga TTC, both whilst out traveling in 2023.


Since returning to the UK in 2024, I have commended my Level 7 Diploma in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy which I will complete in 2028. 


This is to deepen my understanding of the Mind Body Connection, so that I can offer my patients a more complete and holistic treatment plan. I’m excited to start offering this care.


My Career History

I started out my career as a Chiropractor as an associate, working for other clinics in and around Manchester. However, in 2015, I took the plunge and started my own clinic, Davies Chiropractic Care, in Stockport.


My clinic grew from strength to strength. I had a beautiful clinic, 3 other Chiropractors and a Soft Tissue Therapist working with me and a diary full of happy patients. But in 2021 I realized I was burnt out and that running a big practice wasn’t for me.


I knew I couldn’t continue on and later that year sold my practice to go traveling.  


I am back now practicing in the UK again, just me myself and I, and that’s the way it will stay.

My Personal History

I think it is important to share my personal history, as I feel like it has shaped who I am as a person and practitioner, and I also feel it offers a sense of connection. As in, I truly understand what people are facing.

. 

I have struggled with my mental health for as long as I can remember, with long standing anxiety, and periods of depression & disordered eating. Not only this but I have also suffered with long standing lower back pain (amongst other issues) since I was in my 20s. 


I am now piecing the puzzle together and understanding that those things are not seperate entities. Simply treating the physical is not the answer. Which is the approach I take in my practice.

Why 'Yourhealthnomad'?

I have two passions in this world. Those passions being your health, and travel, therefore I wanted to create something which encompassed both of those things, as well as something which demonstrates that your life is a journey, your health is a journey and your healing is a journey. Navigating that journey isn’t always easy, but I am here to help facilitate it.


It’s also why you’ll find lots of my travel photos dotted about.
