Who Am I?
Hello everyone, I’m Sam.
My journey started with a passion for healing & service; inspired by my own journey. I think this is a similar story for many practitioners in the wellbeing space.
For over a decade, I have been deeply devoted to the path of wellbeing, with a particular emphasis on mental wellness. In the wake of a deep personal loss and navigating grief, I felt called to assist others in their own healing journeys.
This mission has since became my beacon. I have been a fierce (and often very loud) advocate for wellbeing in the workplace for the past 7 years. Our wellbeing spans far beyond the physical; and I believe that a holistic approach to our overall health with multiple supports is of utmost importance. I focus very specifically on mental health and stress; this being something we still so very often feel ashamed of - and feel that we need to hide away.
I have been honoured with an international award from This Can Happen for creating a robust & thriving employee mental wellbeing network. I developed comprehensive wellbeing tools that are now embraced globally by the company I served. By sharing my personal story with over 300 colleagues, I aim to inspire transformation and challenge the way we perceive mental wellbeing in our communities. It is my wish to be able to share my story with others in the future through more speaking engagements & workshops.
My work continues outside of the corporate world; driven by the belief that true wellness encompasses mind, body and spirit. It is a joy to help others and guide others through life’s many moments with a number of modalities.
Healing work is truly special; the transformation I see through working with people is remarkable! I always leave sessions in complete awe at what has occurred.
I aim to provide a safe and nurturing space where you can embark on your own journey using a variety of modalities. I understand that each individual is unique, and strive to tailor my offerings to meet your specific needs.
Whether you're seeking physical, mental or emotional healing, I am here to support you! My goal is to guide you in to a place where you can access your own inner healer - you deserve it, believe me.

FAQs
What is Reiki?
Rei - spiritually guided
Ki - life force energy
Rediscovered by Mikao Usui; Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing modality for stress reduction, deep relaxation & restoring balance within the body, mind and spirit.
A pure and natural healing energy working on all levels with profound results.
The intention behind Reiki is to balance and harmonise the recipient's energy, allowing for self-healing. By facilitating the free flow of energy, Reiki aims to restore equilibrium and promote wellbeing on all levels.
Reiki is often used to address physical ailments and promote pain relief. People seek Reiki to alleviate stress, anxiety, insomnia and to enhance overall wellbeing.
Reiki can be received through individual or group settings and each session will last roughly 1 hour. It can be longer or shorter, but I think the sweet spot is an hour session that includes a consultation before and after receiving Reiki energy.
What can I expect during a session?
After a brief consultation, I will ask for your choice in:
Hands on or hands off? Where do you/don’t you want to be touched?
Music or no music?
Incense or no incense?
Laying down or sitting down?
Talking or no talking?
Oracle cards or no oracle cards?
You are completely in control of your experience and I want you to be as comfortable as possible.
Once you’re comfortable, I call in the energy and then begin using my hands to gain an understanding of where the focus needs to be and will direct Reiki energy to these areas.
You may experience warmth, tingling, visuals or you might just fall asleep! You will receive the energy for 25-40 minutes as part of the hour session (I like to make sure you’re grounded and have had a glass of water before you leave).
Once I bring you back, we’ll have a discussion about your experience and I’ll bring you some water. You’ll also leave with a gift! I know, I’m good to you.
Reiki has no contraindications and is totally safe for all.
