Sam Kankanamge

Founder & Medical DirectorBSc (Hons) Osteopathy, DPO, Dip. Acu Sa

Sam grew up in a small village in Sri Lanka, where daily life was shaped by nature, community, and traditional healing wisdom passed down through generations. That upbringing stayed with him even as his career took him to London, where he trained as an osteopath and went on to build an international clinical practice spanning more than 25 years.

In 2005, Sam opened his own clinic in London’s Harley Street district, where he has since treated patients across all ages — including extensive work in neonatal and paediatric care that shaped his belief that true healing starts well before symptoms appear. Rekawa Wellness Resort is the culmination of that belief: a place where his clinical training, an ongoing research collaboration with Humboldt University of Berlin on meditation and breathwork, and the healing traditions of his homeland come together under one roof.

Sam still practises internationally, consulting regularly in London and Berlin, and supports underserved communities through a charitable foundation working across the UK, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. At Rekawa, he oversees the resort’s medical and wellness programming, ensuring every treatment plan is grounded in both clinical rigour and genuine care.
