Sam has had an interest in health, healing modalities and therapeutic practices since her 20s, and trained in a number of them (breathwork, shiatsu, chi gung, regression therapy, therapeutic dance) alongside her career as a lecturer in Environment and Development. When she became ill with chronic fatigue in 2016, she intuitively knew that stress played an important role in her condition.

Disillusioned with the approach offered by the medical profession, she went in search of answers. Emerging ideas on nervous system dysregulation helped her piece together a picture of why and how she had become ill, and when she came across Alex’s book and the work of the OHC, she found the sense of hope she had been looking for.

Sam decided to undertake the OHC’s Therapeutic Coaching™ professional training. The tools and practices she learned on the course undoubtedly further aided her recovery. Sam returned to her full-time academic career for a while before finally taking the path that she now feels much more aligned with – supporting people in recovering their health, wellbeing and quality of life.
