I am passionate about fostering personal and professional growth in a supportive and authentic coaching environment. By creating a safe space where women can embrace their strengths, overcome challenges, and unlock their full potential, I strive to inspire growth and lasting change for every client I work with
I believe life is about connection, growth, and savouring the small joys, and I’d love to connect with you – whether to share experiences, exchange ideas, or just chat about the magic of storytelling
About Me
Hi, I’m Samantha! My journey began in the retail industry, where I built my career as a Retail Manager and later a District Manager. Over time, I transitioned into the world of HR, focusing on people, growth, and fostering meaningful one-to-one connections – something I’m deeply passionate about. I’m also a certified Mental Health First Aider, which aligns perfectly with my dedication to supporting others.
A life-changing moment for me was the arrival of my daughter, who is now 12 and continually inspires me every day. I’m also a proud dog mom to Pumba, my lovable rescue golden retriever, who accompanies me on long walks filled with audiobook adventures – I recently fell in love with discovering stories this way!
When I’m not working or walking along with Pumba, you might find me enjoying some quiet time at the beach, reflecting, recharging, and soaking in the sound of the waves. I thrive on learning and self-improvement, whether it’s through reading, trying something new, or taking in a little inspiration from my favourite musical, Grease (which I’ve been lucky enough to see twice in the West End!).
