Meet Samara…

I have always been passionate about health and wellbeing. From implementing meditation at a young age, to studying buddhism, yoga, counselling, coaching and psychological science; the influences on my career have been quite varied. I wholeheartedly believe in a holistic approach for optimising our health, which is why I will not only support my clients emotionally, but also focus on contributing life domains. If we don’t listen to what our soul is craving to thrive, or know how to support our nervous system, including healthy diet/lifestyle habits, our energy output and other factors, it can be hard to live well. I now have years of experience in dealing with various challenges individuals are faced with, with a common theme being that they are overwhelmed, and craving some peace and vitality. Soul Bloom Wellness was birthed with the essence of my wish for others to bloom into wellness from living in alignment with their needs and desires.
