ABOUT SAMANTHA

Connecting people back to themselves, and teams to each other.

Samantha is the founder of SSC Corporate Wellness, working with organizations across North America to blend neuroscience-informed strategy with practical tools people can use straight away.

Her path to this work was anything but linear. She left home at 12 and overcame addiction early in life, then rebuilt through discipline, movement and personal growth.

From competitive fighting to the inaugural season of Australian Ninja Warrior, television presenting and acting, she brings a performer’s presence and an athlete’s understanding of pressure into every room.

Today she leads keynotes, team workshops and executive coaching for executive teams, high-growth companies, nonprofits and child and youth advocacy centres.
