Journey
In addition to my studies and certifications, I bring significant lived experience.
I have overcome challenges that have left others feeling stuck. I not only endured them, I thrived. I learned how to build my own identity rather than allowing trauma or adversity to define me. This gives me firsthand insight, deep empathy, and a clear, strategic path forward for my clients.
What makes me different is my versatility.
I’m certified in general life coaching as well as:
Career, Relationships, Confidence, Sexuality, and Spirituality.
In addition, I’m certified to teach the following Core Workplace Competencies:
-
Communication & Relationship Building Skills, including giving and receiving feedback
-
Active Listening Skills
-
Increasing Confidence, Self-Esteem and Assertiveness
-
Time, Workload, and Email Management
-
Stress & Anxiety Management
This has allowed me to work with a wide range of clients, from senior executives to students, diplomats, engineers, economists, actuaries, public servants, CEOs, CFOs, lawyers, doctors, surgeons, artists, stay-at-home parents, musicians, IT specialists, law enforcement, blue-collar workers, farmers, entrepreneurs, and more.
I offer individual and group coaching, as well as give keynotes and destination retreats.
Unfog, Unfreeze, Unfilter the noise that’s been running your life on repeat with my guide series, The Deeply Done™ Method.
Radically honest. Emotionally intelligent. Fast. Anti-fluff.

Manager, Media
I have had the opportunity and pleasure to work with and take part in many team sessions that Samantha has led. Her ability to connect with everyone in the room is remarkable. Her energy, enthusiasm and casual approach to her craft leaves you thinking and empowered to make positive changes in your work and life in general. I don't hesitate for a second to recommend Samantha and her work.
Howard Mann,
Senior International Law Advisor
Samantha is dedicated, honest, serious about helping those she works with, and direct in how she does so. She came prepared for each meeting with specific things to discuss or work on. She understood quickly who I was and what values I have, and worked to help me achieve them, not to rewrite them. She pushed hard when it was needed and intuitively knew when to cut me a little slack. The sessions we had were open, results oriented, and engaging. And most importantly, they worked! And they were then supported by follow-up when needed. In short, Samantha provided the support and input I needed, when I truly needed them.
I could not have picked a better person to work with.
Jim Lee,
Parliamentary Analyst
I had the pleasure of attending a group training Sam gave a few years ago and was impressed with her professionalism and her range of knowledge. When I recently worked with her one-on-one, I also saw how successfully she tailors such work the needs of individual clients. I highly recommend working with Sam.
Rida Ahmad,
Case Reviewer
Samantha is an amazing person who can not only teach you so much but makes you feel comfortable and genuinely cares about you. I never got the chance to say thank you for everything. I'm very grateful for everything you taught me and no amount of words can explain how much it means to me. I'm so glad I got the opportunity to work with you because you changed my life and I don't know what I would have done had I not worked with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Janice Sutton,
Senior Analyst
Having Sam as a life coach was such an enriching experience for me. She is energetic, kind-hearted and intuitive. She was highly adaptive to my situation and emotional states at a given time, and was thus flexible in her approach with me and getting me focused on my goals.
Her sessions were always extremely helpful and left me smiling and feeling more confident about where I was going. I am now on track with setting and meeting personal and career goals, thanks to Sam.
J.P. Gelinas,
MBA, Manager Business Development
I've made a lot of progress thanks to Samantha's help so I wanted to show my appreciation for everything she's done with me. I always use her as an example of authenticity and I've become a little more natural during my meetings and in larger groups. I also have more courage to address issues with my employees and I can challenge and give more direction. I feel like a better leader, more than somebody seeking validation. The biggest difference is self acceptance. I've let go of some of the things that were keeping me from the best version of myself. Thank you.

Just wanted to reach out and say how much I enjoyed our training session yesterday. It was very engaging, and I took some good insights.
I have done a fair few communication trainings in the past, and yours was my favorite. I am already trying to do improve my email subject lines!
Bonnie Robinson,
Manager Communications
Sam is an amazing coach. Within a few sessions she helped me determine my true career goals, helped me formulate a plan to reach them, and taught me techniques to stay on track. Within two months of finishing our sessions I had a new position and I'm happier than ever with my career. She's great at listening, analysis, and motivating you to do the work to get where you want to be. Can't recommend her highly enough.

Allan Baillie,
Technical Manager, P. Eng
Sam's friendly, happy but totally professional approach led me to find myself again, regain my confidence and above all, through
empowerment, put me back in control of myself.
I cannot express the gratitude and respect I have for Samantha. It is a journey with many bumps in the road, do not expect an easy passage, but what an excellent guide I had and one I will call on again if the need arises.
Soniya M.
Samantha is a very gifted life coach, group trainer, and professional speaker. I have had the pleasure of working with her in all three spheres and highly recommend her services. She is authentic, kind, and someone who has a lot of integrity. She is a star.
