Go Beyond Resilience to Rootsilience

Beyond Resilience to Rootsilience: A Revolutionary Women’s Leadership Framework for Balance, Well-being and Success empowers women leaders to reclaim balance and well-being by decoding the language of our body, behavior, and mind. Our body shows us when we’ve been stretched beyond our limits and knocked out of balance. But what can we do about it, and how can we recognize those first signs?

What I’ve Been Up To

  • I worked with Samantha while experiencing some difficult life changes and trauma. In addition to offering a caring, listening ear, she always offered ideas gently, allowing me to drive the direction taken. It was clear she didn't have an agenda and treated me as an individual as she listened and provided help. She also remembered session to session what had occurred prior, which not only made me feel cared for, but also illuminated changes I was making.

  • Samantha's practice embodies essential-wholeness through her practice of achieving individual well-being. By highlighting the importance of the mind, body, and spirit, her thoughtful feedback encompasses how each element interacts, communicates, and connects with one another for an individual's best outcome.

    ~ Adeline

  • I was fortunate to find Samantha during the COVID-19 pandemic and her insightful guidance has helped me find clarity in this confusing time. Her ability to hone in on underlying patterns and behaviors with a gentle touch has been extremely beneficial.

    ~ Margot

  • Samantha was able to calm my anxious heart with her peaceful, serene guidance and experience. She compassionately navigated the ReCODE Bredesen Program with me. Her services then evolved into supportive care which encompassed all aspects of my wellbeing, not just the protocol. She enlightened my soul, and I am filled with gratitude for all of her encouragement.

    ~ Sheri

  • I started working with Samantha in the midst of a health crisis, during which time I was bombarded with medical information. Our sessions helped me to process and organize this information, and create a plan for how to most efficiently apply it towards healing. Samantha was incredibly supportive throughout our work, and was an essential sounding board. I highly recommend working with her if you're looking for wisdom and direction along your health journey.
