My life has largely been guided by intuitive decisions. Many of my choices led me to places I didn’t consciously plan to go. Most of the time, I didn’t know why and didn’t feel the need to question it. This openness gave my intuition the freedom to flow, taking me where I was meant to be and allowing me to experience what my soul called me to in this human form.

My story begins with my parents falling in love with a TV show about a witch named Samantha—thus, they gave me her name.

As a child, I was both introverted and physically active, always ready to move, jump, play, and dance. Despite my quiet, reflective nature, I had an adventurous spirit. I would explore alone in the small village where I grew up, surrounded by nature. From a young age, I felt a deep connection to and reverence for nature and animals. Building forest huts was my favorite pastime, and I couldn’t resist rescuing stray dogs and cats wherever I found them in need. Unsurprisingly, my dream was to become a veterinarian.

From an early age, I became captivated by the magical alchemy of self-expression and the vibrant world of Art. My passion for playing roles and performing grew, and I began studying theatre and acting, attending the university of Disciplines of Art, Cinema, and Performance while acting in various roles. At the time, I believed this would define my future and calling.

As I matured, the environment I grew up in began to feel limiting—too constrained for my expanding perspectives and curiosity. This led me to leave my home country and explore other cultures. Traveling became an essential part of my journey. Learning new languages, meeting people, and hearing their stories shaped by cultural conditioning became a cornerstone of my life. The call to adventure—a whisper from the unknown—drew me away from the stage and toward unexplored territories around the globe.

For over 15 years, I worked as a Learning & Development coach with international organisations. Coaching and training became a gift that never left me, serving as a catalyst for transformation.

Eventually, the carefully constructed layers of my life began to unravel in a way only the universe could orchestrate. My world fractured, leaving behind the ashes of my former identities and history. It felt as though I was reincarnated again and again in the course of this same life. Amidst the sacred chaos, I felt a mysterious force stirring—whispers of awakening and a beckoning toward the ancient dance between life and death. The call to awaken was unmistakable, and surrender became my guide as I embraced a slower pace of life.

A new chapter began, marked by a search for tools to deepen my human experience. I sought to embrace the shadows within and explore the light of my soul. This journey led me to the realms of shamanism, transpersonal psychology, hypnosis, astral projection, autogenic training, and constellations—each sacred practice offering fragments of truth.

It was through this profound exploration that I found my rhythm in yoga. What began as a casual practice of asanas, pranayama, and meditation soon blossomed into an all-encompassing devotion to yoga philosophy. In yoga, I rediscovered profound truths: the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit and the transformative power of surrender. I came to understand deeply that you don’t do yoga; you are yoga. Regardless of becoming a teacher, I know I will always remain a student.

This sacred practice taught me to listen to my body, observe my emotions, and recognise the chatter of the “monkey mind.” Guided by inner knowing, I began to embody the dichotomy of living and the essence of life itself—the sacred energy within. This alignment opened the door to the full potential of LifeForce Energy.

Energy intermissions and the LifeForce Energy Awakening transmissions became more than teachings—they became the gateway to my present purpose as an energy space holder.

I am a shapeshifter, an experiencer of the present moment, a traveler at heart, a seeker of stories, a witness to the intricate beauty of life across cultures. 
Every picture I capture, every word I share, every practice I offer, and every space I hold is infused with the wisdom of lived experience.

I do not separate the spiritual from the human. I believe all forms of life pulse with spirit, and all of it is sacred.

Through my healing journey, I have come to understand that every human path is equally spiritual and powerful. With the lightness of a child’s wonder and the wisdom of ancient teachings, I encourage you to release, surrender, and let the sacred energy of life guide you in the dance between the seen and the unseen.
