"Working with Samantha has been such a productive investment in my emotional health. I had been trying to work through this quandary on my own, but I kept ending up paralyzed by fear and unable to move through indecision to a healthier place.

Samantha’s skill in asking just the right question at just the right time allowed me to get clarity on the best ways to progress forward. Being able to access her through asynchronous coaching between live sessions kept me feeling fully supported, like she had her hand on my back the whole time. It was an incredible relief to share with someone who truly understood (from personal experience) and such a benefit to have her coaching enhanced by her training & experience as a LMFT."

“Coming out later in life after living a disingenuous straight life for over thirty years was both terrifying and exhilarating.

Shedding the pretense of heteronormativity and embracing my authentic inner tom boi while feeling comfortable in my own body for the first time was, and continues to be life-giving.

Having Samantha there to help guide me through this process was incredible. She taught me about being true to myself and embracing myself as I am unapologetically.”

“Feeling like I didn't fit in, like there was something off or wrong, having relationships that never felt like that soul level...it all makes sense now. I was never myself. I was always trying to play the part that everyone else wanted me to play.
There was no way that I was going to live at my highest potential or be the best person that I could be staying straight, cisgendered and people pleasing, doing all the things that society wanted me to do - I was going to be mediocre.

Now I feel so much pride for who I am. I feel excited, like I finally match who I am.”

“My journey to self-discovery and emotional freedom began with just one coaching session with Samantha; it was transformative. After battling anxiety and questioning my sexual identity for the past several months, I realized therapy alone was insufficient. I needed a life coach who could meet me where I am currently and equip me with emotional tools. Samantha created a safe space for vulnerability from the beginning. I openly shared my struggles, even crying at first. However, by the end of the session I felt at peace. Samantha asked insightful questions and drew from her own experiences, personalizing our session. We discovered that from a young age I was conditioned to ignore my feelings and make decisions based solely on “doing the right thing”. The conditioning of my upbringing has caused me to constantly seek control. Now this tendency manifests as anxiety around my identity. 

Samantha’s coaching sparked “happiness” within me. By the end of our session, I felt ready to mediate and fully experience every emotion, for however long I needed to feel. I did just that, and it was cathartic. Afterwards, a calmness washed over me that I had not felt in months.

I know this journey will not be easy, but at least I now have the tools to feel my emotions, accept myself and embrace what comes. I’m excited to join Samantha’s 12-Week Late Bloomers Bootcamp as I am ready to lean more into self-exploratory work and to connect with a community of women on a similar path. Previously, I thought I was alone; Samantha has shown me otherwise. My journey has only just begun.”
