Meet Samara…
A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing
My passion for health and wellbeing began early. From practising meditation from a young age to studying Buddhism, yoga, counselling, coaching, and psychology, I’ve been guided by both Eastern and Western approaches to wellness.
I believe in a holistic approach, supporting not only emotional health but also the physical, mental, and lifestyle foundations that allow us to thrive. When we ignore what our mind, body, and soul need, or neglect our nervous system and daily habits, it becomes difficult to feel balanced and energised. I’ve experienced and witnessed how tending to ourselves holistically can change everything, and truly support us to thrive.
About Soul Bloom Wellness
Through an integrative approach that blends counselling, coaching, and mindfulness-based techniques, I support clients in developing self-awareness, regulating the nervous system, and having tangible steps to create sustainable change.
I created Soul Bloom Wellness to help others feel more connected to themselves, to live in alignment with their needs, values, and the life they truly want to create.
Sessions are available online worldwide and face-to-face at Esse Aesthetics and Wellness in Mt Martha, on the Mornington Peninsula.
