I am Sam

and this is my story.

That was me...Once upon a time, I felt I had to be strong and hold it all together. Never opening up. Feeling that if I did I was a burden, and that I was taking up too much of other people’s time. 

Once upon a time, I felt that being angry was bad, and that even though people around me truly cared, I felt that crying alone was safer. 

Once upon a time my body became a huge sacrifice for my emotions. I got sick, I was always tired and I suffered deep anxiety. I lacked passion, confidence and motivation. 

Then one day, I stopped trying to be strong.

I stopped trying to hold it all together and  I stopped ignoring my feelings.

Then one day, I realised I was holding priceless treasures, and unique precious gifts, for I learnt that what I feared within myself was and will always be my greatest teacher and my greatest gifts.

I truly understood that the only way to access my unique treasures was to befriend the dragons that I feared…my own demons, inner fears, loneliness, low self esteem, poor body image, my fear of anger, my shame, the need to always be “good”, my distorted view of sensuality and what being a divine feminine truly meant.

So I walked, and still do, many dark tunnels within myself and I befriended all that I once hid and feared. I continually heal my inner landscape and reclaim my inner truth, my lost soul parts and my divine femininity. 

I did this for me.
I did this to help heal my ancestors.
I did this to help heal the earth,
and I do this now, continually, to create a gentler path for my children.

I have been blessed to sit in circle with extra-ordinary teachers, healers, folk-healers, druids, shamans, wise men and women, mentors and earth based healers in Ireland, England, New Zealand and Australia.

I love sitting on rocks over looking the unlimited expanse of the ocean, walking, sitting and laying in sacred sites, stone circles and cairns, walking in the rain and wind, and dancing in storms. I have been awakened through visions, dreamings and journeyings by sitting, listening, and purging. The Earth, her Elements and the Spirits of the Land have shown me so much, taught me so much, and held me in so many ways as I purged, renewed and woke again.

As a Mumma of twins I am passionate about understanding who I am, so that I can be a more present, aware and conscious parent.  As a result I have gained a truly unique view of parenting, raising children and communicating with my children.
