TESTIMONIALS
★★★★★
In the 20 years I have worked in the Human Resources field, I have rarely seen a talent for understanding people, as strong as that demonstrated by Sam. Her warmth, frankness and insightful questions will quickly help you overcome any barriers in achieving your hopes and goals. Sam is an astounding coach whose wisdom and breakthrough strategies make achieving your personal success easier than you may think. Don't delay, get in touch with Sam and start living the life you know you were born to live.
Melissa Story MBA, Head of Leadership & Talent Development - Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment
I had the pleasure of being on the receiving end of a coaching session with Sam recently. I went into it thinking I had everything pretty well sussed in both my professional and private life however, I discovered after only a short time into our session that this was not in fact the case at all. The result of our discussion gave me both clarity on what I needed to address as well as some clear steps on how to achieve success in these areas. I particularly enjoyed Sam’s kind, patient and encouraging manner and am already looking forward to our next catch up. I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking to engage a coach – she’s certainly had a positive impact on my life…..thank you Sam!!

At first, I was quite sceptical about how a coach could help me on a personal level, or for my business, but I can honestly say that Sam's encouragement and support over the last few years has been outstanding. She is a great listener, understanding, incredibly patient and very switched on. I didn't think it was possible to change, but the experience has been life-changing, both for me personally and as a business manager in a leadership role. Sam is genuine, honest and easy to talk to - and great value for money!

I am a self employed creative... I teach drama and I am a marriage celebrant. I love Sam’s way - she has been so encouraging and insightful of where I can grow my business. She is incredibly bubbly and fun. She puts you at ease, hears your heart and thoughts, and then helps create a practical process to expand and grow your business. Sam has been instrumental in helping me continue to have vision and passion in my chosen profession.

I have a few different jobs that I do, but was looking to set up my own business. I kept going round in circles with what I needed to do and what direction I should take. Aside from being a coach, Sam also has had a huge amount of experience in marketing, communications, and business development. Sam's support and recommendations have been hugely beneficial to me - she helped me put plans in place for the short and long term - and my business is growing as a result. It was great to get clarity and have someone to share ideas with and keep myself on task.
James Bott - Paramedic, Medical NHS Adviser, First Aid Training Business Owner
Sam coached me for a little over a year and helped me compartmentalise my career and personal life. She has taught me to recognize my own success over my perceived failings and to focus my efforts where they matter most. Getting 8hrs sleep back in my life was one of the perks. Sam has helped provide more structure and thought in to planning for the future to ensure we live happily ever after. With or without the spa. Thank you Sam!
Daniel Moreton - I.T. Consultant
I have worked in front-line medicine for over 25 years. I have loved my career, but as my family circumstances have changed, I also wanted to find a new direction, but didn't know what that was, or where to start. I have had many coaching sessions with Sam - she always helps me focus my thoughts positively and helps point me in the right direction, both on a career and personal front. Our sessions involve deep thought and lots of laughter. She also follows up with uplifting messages and helpful information. I'm pleased to say that I have now found a new career path, still in medicine, and am loving the new work environment and challenge. Sam really "gets" people, she understands the complexities of life, and is interested only in your wellbeing - not her own agenda.
Dr. Geraldine Jordan, Scotland
I have had coaching sessions with Sam for many years. She has a gift that is hard to articulate; but at the end of our calls, I always feel a million times brighter. She has an ability to read your heart and mind, focus on your strengths and attributes, and I always feel better once I have spoken to her. She has a natural intuition and an abundance of emotional intelligence along with great business acumen. I've tried many coaches over the years, and she is by far the best.
Client, Los Angeles
Thank you soooo much for all your help. You have given me so many pointers to work with and I feel so positive/uplifted and enthusiastic about everything since speaking with you - thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are an amazing coach, an absolute natural. Thank you.
Founder of Award Winning Spa
I was stuck in a rut and feeling like I was too busy to make any changes. After just one inspiring and uplifting coaching session with Sam, she encouraged me to make one small change at a time - it was so simple and like someone had switched on the light I needed. Since our session, I have made a few small changes and they have made a huge difference to my busy life. Sam is a really good listener and fabulous at giving you the space and insight you need to see your World through a different lens.
Senior Lawyer, Wellington
Sam is a friend first and foremost, but without me knowing - alongside a coffee catch up, Sam coached me through a problem that I had been living/putting up with, for quite a few years. Through Sam’s guidance, support and honesty, I finally made the next step in finding a resolution - and can confidently say I would not have done this, without Sam’s help. I highly recommend Sam and her coaching services.
Toni Wilson
I had a career as an accountant when I was younger, but left that to raise my three children and support my husband while he was growing his business. As they got older, I decided I wanted a complete change. Sam encouraged me to follow my dreams of becoming a nurse. I did my degree and now absolutely love my job nursing in the children's hospital in Wellington. One small conversation with Sam and lots of encouragement and I have never looked back! Thank you Sam!
