“Sammy conducted mindfulness sessions with a team of professionals who help children deal with some of the ugliest things life has to offer. Her ability to connect with our team, and strike the perfect balance between theoretical vs practical was second-to-none. After one of Sammy’s 30-minute sessions, there was a noticeable energy shift in the space. There is something healing and powerful about going through a shared mindfulness exercise with colleagues. Sammy drew on her expertise to leverage the experience to bring out the best in all of us. Going back to my desk afterwards, I personally felt calmer and more focused–re-charged for the afternoon’s tasks. Her tips are highly practical and easy to implement at any time to deal with life’s challenges. Life always has a way of working out perfectly, and hiring Sammy to work with our team definitely reinforced this belief. She was the perfect fit for our team.”

I’m still in awe of our session so thank you! It’s a bit odd to write a review on something as moving as this experience with Samantha. This experience with Samantha was something I had not been able to experience in other sought after therapeutic/self-development experiences. Engaging with her is an inspiring experience. She provides the feelings of talking with your best friend while also being the mirror to your deepest wounds and darkest corners. She brought things to light I didn’t even realize I was keeping in the dark. I have paid multiple therapists who have not hit on such a nerve but it was exactly the place I needed to tend to. I now have an exercise which is helping me work through the feeling of loneliness and I am seeing instant results. I could write so much more on this and I only spent an hour speaking with her. There’s a reason she’s been called to do the work she is doing. I hope that people who have even the slightest of curiosity give her one chance to help you illuminate your own “yellow brick road” to your own, full-on, self discoveries.”

I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Samantha Clarke for her incredible wellness sessions. Her guidance and expertise in promoting mindfulness have truly made a positive impact on our well-being. Samantha’s sessions on wellness and mindfulness were both enlightening and inspiring. Her insights on the power of mindfulness in our fast-paced world were invaluable.
The benefits of incorporating mindfulness into our daily routines cannot be overstated. Samantha’s sessions served as a powerful reminder to prioritize self-care and create a culture of wellness in our professional lives. Her teachings will undoubtedly continue to resonate and positively influence our personal and professional journeys.
Once again, thank you, Samantha Clarke, for sharing your knowledge and passion for wellness with us. Your dedication to promoting well-being is truly commendable, and we are grateful for the positive impact you have made.

Samantha has helped me grow and develop on a physical level and on a mental level. I can honestly say that I would not be the man I am today had I not engaged Samantha as my coach back in 2019.  Samantha has been instrumental in not only training my body but has also helped me train and calm my mind leading me to be more connected and generally happier with how I show up in the world and how I interact with myself and others. I can not recommend her enough, and I am forever grateful for her guidance, patience, wisdom and unique gifts.

Samantha was the keynote speaker for my MacKay CEO Peer Group Annual Retreat in Whistler, BC. I chair a Forum with 12 CEO’s all leading high growth businesses, and faced with an ever increasing list of critical deadlines. Our goal is to help each other be the most inspiring leaders we can be. Post pandemic, we kept hearing the benefits of mindfulness. It intrigued us but still sounded a bit of a soft science for our rational brains.

Enter Samantha. She led us through a science based discovery of how our brain and body are interconnected. How we react in one of 3 ways to external challenges. And then she segued into the practice of mindfulness, to enable us to stay on the curious, and positive side of human behaviour, and then to use that capability to lift the experience of those we live and work with.

We left feeling inspired, and more capable of being mindful, empathetic and open, so we all can contribute to better experiences for ourselves, and those we connect with. Samantha – thanks for the positive impact you have provided all of us!

I’ve been so grateful to have Samantha as my therapist for the past year. This time with her has realigned my life in such a positive way. Samantha takes a warm yet pragmatic approach to her therapy. She gently leads you in exploring your thoughts and feelings in a safe space created between the two of you.
Every session with her I am always impressed by her emotional intelligence and ability to immediately understand what I am going through from a deep level with no judgement. While many therapists will leave you wondering what you got out of the session, Samantha will leave you deep in thought and emotion as she gracefully faces your traumas alongside you as you begin to heal.

As a human who doesn’t do well with emotional regulation I was completely in awe of how Sammy managed to get me to reframe that mindset in such a short amount of time. Her eloquent spoken words, and her incredibly deep and profound comprehension of the nervous system made it so easy to understand her methods and all that she was trying to get across in such an easy to digest way. Literally everyone should see her if they want to make positive changes to their understanding and as a result their lives in general! 😊🙏

After Sammy’s session I immediately noticed her honesty, which at first was a little bit hard to digest as I couldn’t quite comprehend or process those feelings immediately, now I see it was because some things hit home harder than I thought they could. After one week after my time with Sammy, my friends said they’ve noticed a big change in me and I truly, truly put this down to Sammy’s patience, understanding, support and ability to not only read me, but tell me what I need to hear to grow into the man I want to be. I whole heartedly recommend Sammy for heart to heart mentoring. She is unique and worth your time and money!

Sammy’s story is so compelling and told so thoughtfully that she captures the attendees minds and hearts instantly. She’s a true expert in her field and consistently receives top feedback from our clients. She is able to lead attendees through practices in a way that is genuine, not pretentious, and for that reason is incredibly effective. She’s also never stagnant and always growing in her training, her skillset, and her speaking. It’s truly a gift to see Sammy share her story and her expertise with others.

I’ve spent a good portion of my life in athletics, along with a few years fighting competitively from a reputable gym – but it wasn’t until I worked with Samantha where I understood how to correctly use my body. Her expertise in movement shows in her ability to teach the art of punching on a kinetic level. She believes in quality reps rather than mercilessly drilling the same movements and this allows for athletes to truly understand what they are asking out of their body when performing. Training with Samantha has opened my eyes about where my power comes from – I recommend her to anyone who takes their craft seriously.

Very knowledgeable about the topics and the topics were very practical to the the work we do,It was a lovely presentation, very well done, Thank-you! I appreciated all of it, and found your presence calming. The Presence Practices helped me understand the exercises and make mindfulness a bit more concrete. I could have sat in this workshop for the whole day and dug a bit deeper in learning how to set the tools in my life. (I also really enjoyed the Boundary section.)

I embarked on this journey with Sammy a little skeptical. I saw that she was an athlete, and a counsellor, and I wasn’t really sure what to expect.
But she’s really covered it all with me, I see why she’s called a ‘holistic’ coach.
There were so many things about myself I was unaware of, mainly.. my emotions, and how they were running my life, setting boundaries, even though I thought I had it under control!
I am a happier more open person, I have more patience, and self acceptance… And as an added bonus, better posture, feel stronger and feel more self aware in a genuine way.
I swap between counselling and training and I don’t think I’ll ever go to anyone else for either of them again. She is simply the most well rounded coach of any kind that I have had.

Sammy delivered two fantastic sessions on Mindfulness and the Nervous System at my recent Mackay CEO Forums retreat! The sessions were interactive, practical, rooted in science, and engaging. My members and their partners were engaged and commented on how powerful the session was. I highly recommend Sammy for any group or individual needs regarding Mindfulness

If you haven’t hired Sammy yet, you’re with the wrong coach. She taught me so much in our first session alone, and then at some point in the first few weeks I realized I was completely getting my ass kicked. She is so knowledgeable, and at this point I’m convinced she knows my body better than I ever did. She notices things no one else sees, and explains things in a way that’s easy to digest without ever making you feel ignorant. I feel confident, strong, and grateful for my body. We do boxing, yoga, strength and even meditation. Somehow she masters it all. I trust Sammy with my health and my life and would perish without her.

Sammy Is AMAZING, I went to her because I wanted a cute booty, my God did I get so so so much more.She helped me move in a way that doesn’t hurt my knee (been trying to get that for 8 years) but she also explained movements to me in a way which finally makes sense. I’m comfortable exercising on my own for the first time ever, and now I’m able to see my emotional and mental health had a HUGE part in my physical fatigue and stress.
She’s a wizard, or a witch, I dunno, but hire her and just go along for the ride!

Coming from a history of contact sports, car accidents leading to injuries. Training with Sammy has not only just fixed my body better than any physio or chiropractor has managed to do. But In my short time with her I’ve also learned to have much more confidence and peace of mind. She has a vast knowledge of how the human body works with loads of experience but her ability to emotionally connect with her clients/myself is what makes her truly a one of a kind trainer. Anyone would be blessed to have her in their corner. Thank you for everything.

I came to Sammy looking for someone to help me lose weight and nothing more. But through working with her, I’m starting to learn the value of seeing my body as a part of my whole self rather than just a shell to manipulate. In our short time together, she has already helped me realize things no therapist has done before and helped me move in ways no trainer has done before.
Sammy’s passion and empathy make her a great coach and someone you definitely want on your team. I recommend her immensely.

Working with Sam has been an incredible journey over the last 3 years. She has helped me physically become stronger in fitness and has helped me lean into an emotional and spiritual journey I didn’t know I needed. She is incredible at creating space to hold whatever is needed during our sessions and always finds a way to bring joy and laughter in. I’d highly recommend working with her!

I really appreciate you sharing your story. It showed me there is always hope and that no matter what once was we can always grow/evolve and turn our past into a powerful thing. You are a wonderful facilitator! Engaging. Skillful using the time. Also loved your voice and your calming presence.

Sammy has a passion for helping people and a great attention to detail. She has in-depth knowledge of proper biomechanics and taught me how to move my body to prevent injuries.
She is also a great listener if you feel like complaining about anything while exercising.
Her bubbly personality and energy is contagious and its impossible to not be in a good mood after her sessions.
