Hey, I’m Sam.
I definitely didn’t grow up thinking I was going to do Reiki and read the Akashic Records for a living.
Before this, I was a therapist working with women and children through some really hard parts of their lives. Then I went through a difficult time in my own life and found myself needing something different too.
That’s how I found Reiki.
I wasn’t looking for a new career or thinking any of this would eventually become a business. I was looking for something that might help me, and Reiki did.
Eventually I trained in it myself, which led me to the Akashic Records and learning a whole lot more about intuition. Somewhere in there, what had started as something very personal became the work I do now.
Some things came with me.
I don't practise as a therapist anymore, but that experience didn't disappear when I changed careers. It still shapes how I sit with people and probably always will.
I learned how to listen, how to ask questions and how to notice the things that sometimes sit underneath what we're actually talking about. I’m not uncomfortable when someone doesn't know what they feel yet or when there isn't an obvious answer. I spent years sitting with people in the complicated parts of life, and one of the things I carried with me from that work is that we don't always need to rush someone out of where they are.
My own life has reinforced that in ways I didn't expect.
Living with endometriosis has changed my relationship with my body and what I expect from myself. I've had to learn that what I want to have the energy for and what I actually have the capacity for aren't always the same thing.
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia has been different, but just as personal. Losing my hair changed my relationship with my appearance and made me look at parts of myself I probably wouldn't have otherwise. I'm still figuring some of that out.
I don't think those things happened because I needed to learn a lesson, and I don't need to turn them into something beautiful to make them meaningful. They're things I've lived through and things I'm still living with. Of course they've changed me.
I think that's true of so much of life. We go through things, we do the work, we learn and unlearn, and somewhere along the way we realize we're not quite the same person we were before.
What I Believe
Healing isn’t about fixing yourself into someone new. It’s about meeting who you are now with honesty and compassion.
Everyone is intuitive. Part of the work is learning how yours speaks to you.
Not everything is an energy block, a past-life lesson or something you need to heal. Sometimes you’re just having a human experience.
You’re allowed to change your mind about who you are, what you want and what fits your life now.
Getting guidance doesn’t mean someone else gets to decide what’s right for you.
A lot of healing happens in ordinary, everyday moments, not just in sessions.
Deep work and genuine laughter can exist in the same space.
A Little More About Me
I live in Alberta with my husband, our two teenage daughters and three cats who are fully convinced they run the house.
I love a good laugh and don’t take life too seriously. Kitchen dance parties happen often, and I’m very happy with a slow morning and a cup of coffee. I love my garden, probably spend too much money on flowers and regularly buy myself a fresh bunch just because they make me happy. I’m also always up for a road trip to the mountains, finding a new coffee spot or ending the day with a book or movie night where popcorn is non-negotiable.
