Testimonials

"This is life changing, life saving.  I’m at a profound turning point in my life and have faith that I'm on the right path. I am so much happier for being so well attuned to who I am and what I want.  And I thank Sam for helping me realize it."

-W.E.

Public Health Executive

"Words do not sum up how grateful I am for Sam and her life changing coaching. Sam's authentic, curious, compassionate and empathetic approach to coaching has been nothing short of amazing...I am a better professional, leader, mother, wife, sister and daughter because of her. I can live my truth and be my authentic self, something I felt I had to conceal for a long time. Sam, thank you for helping me dive into my faith and who I am. 

You are truly a gift."

-M.R.D.

Behavioral Health Regional Director

"I worked with Sam in two different contexts - one while we both were serving with the COVID Command Center with the City & County of San Francisco and another as a client with her coaching practice. In both contexts, Sam demonstrated a keen skill for holding the long view, while igniting the creative sparks for effective leadership and collaborative teamwork in the present moment. As a personal client of hers, I have felt supported through the many cycles of my own personal and professional peaks and troughs. Sam successfully navigates my different learning styles, my many moods, my preference for speaking in metaphor, in integrating somatic-oriented modalities into our explorations of reconnecting to self, self-love, human beingness, and how these things are all connected to leadership and excellence....When I was seeking someone who would be the best fit for walking alongside me, to help guide me, and to support this next phase of my professional development, I only needed to know that Sam was offering this kind of coaching, and it was a no-brainer....Sam leans in to all my challenging questions, brings a wit and creativity that I need for this sort of visioning, and meets me with confidence when I want to push at the edges of my own comfort zone. I recommend Sam highly without reservation!"

"Sam meets her clients with an abundance of empathy and kindness, she creates a safe space for self-reflection and exploration and then really listens. Working together we got to the heart of some of the challenges I have been facing and then, most importantly, charted a path forward.  She provides truly actionable advice that has helped me strive for and find a fuller and happier life!"

-S.L.

VP of Product, Healthcare Analytics

"I have worked with Sam for several months and she has been an anchor in my world. Sam creates a space where I can be vulnerable and has taught me how to channel my inner allies and gremlins, leaving a sense of -"I can do this!" This increasing confidence is exactly what I need to navigate through both personal and professional challenges...[and] set and manage goals while given the skills, support and direction to do so. 

Sam is fantastic! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her."

-J.W.

Behavioral Health Program Leader

"When I first came to coaching, I wasn't sure what I would get out of it. However, Sam is so insightful and enthusiastic, and her attentiveness to details and excellent suggestions have helped me to quiet my inner critic and shape a tangible way forward to the life I want. Sam's optimism is contagious and I am continually grateful for the opportunity

 to work with her."
