Hi, I’m Sam
Helping you to look after the health of your brain so that you can live the life that you want.
Why Brain Health?
The brain is the hardware that allows us to focus on the things that we want to achieve; to be successful, happy; have healthy relationships and build the lives that we want to live.
Yet most of us don’t think about it because we don’t see it when we look in the mirror. We’ve never been taught what hurts it or heals it.
When we don’t take care of it, it can leave us experiencing a host of problems such as struggling with our memory, feeling depressed, anxious, or constantly worrying about the same things over and over, and unable to achieve our full potential which can leave us frustrated.

You are not stuck with the brain you have.
You can change it.
How do I look after my brain?
Your brain is very responsive to your environment. Everything affects it, from the food you eat, to the relationships you have, to what your focus on, to whether or not you live a purposeful life.
To support the brain we need to use a holistic approach.
Biological: The first circle of a whole, healthy life starts with biology. It’s all about how your brain and body work together on a physical level. For your brain to function at its best, the biological systems: your cells, connections, chemicals, energy, blood flow, and even how your brain clears out waste; have to be in good shape.
Psychological: The psychological circle is all about how you think and how you talk to yourself—that inner dialogue running in the background. It also includes your sense of self, how you see your body, and the stories you tell yourself about who you are. Your upbringing, past emotional wounds, and those big moments that shaped you. This circle is where mindset, self-image, and emotional history come together.
Social connections: The social circle is all about connection: your relationships, your support system, and the people you surround yourself with. It’s the quality of those relationships, not just the quantity. It also includes the social stress you might be carrying, whether it’s from work, school, or the dynamics in your personal life. This circle reminds us that we’re wired for connection, and that connection deeply affects our brain health.
Spiritual: To truly thrive, we have to recognize that we’re more than just our biology, our thoughts, or even our relationships. We are spiritual beings too. Whether or not you believe in God, there’s meaning woven into who you are and why you’re here - your purpose. That connection to something greater, be it your past generations, future generations, the Earth, or a greater consciousness, it matters for your brain and your life.
Love your brain, and it will support you in everything you do.
About me & How I work
I support people either one-on-one or in groups, by creating a tailored brain health program that fits each person’s lifestyle. This includes dietary, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations, as well as best mental health practices such as Automatic Negative Thought Therapy. I support each person along their mental wellness journey and help them to overcome challenges along the way.
I began my own journey into brain health when I experienced a deep depressive episode including high anxiety. I couldn’t sleep, eat, or communicate clearly and I ended up in hospital for a few weeks. Luckily the psychiatrists found the exact medication that helped me a lot. From that moment on I knew that I had to prioritize the health of my brain if I was going to have a good quality, happy, meaningful life. I began following Dr Amen’s brain health program and became healthier, more focused, and gained a lot more steady energy throughout the day, not to mention that my memory got better, which is a big deal for me as my mom passed from Alzheimer's.
Now, as well as working at a charity called Mental Health Recovery Partners where I provide emotional and practical support for those going through their mental recovery both in hospital and in-community, I work as a Brain Health Coach, supporting people to better the health of their brains so that they don’t have to suffer like I did, and if they are already struggling, to improve their brain health on their road to recovery.
I am trained in the following modalities:
Elite Brain Health Coaching - Amen University
Nondual Kabbalistic Healing - The Society of Souls
Interfaith Ministry - OneSpirit
My spiritual training allows me to support clients from a wide range of backgrounds: religious, spiritual, or not spiritual at all. I hold space for the deeper questions about life, purpose, and meaning, helping each person explore what resonates most with their own beliefs and experiences.
When you take care of your brain, everything else in your life gets better: your energy, your focus, your relationships, your ability to fulfil your purpose.
My Services
One-on-One Coaching
$125 per hour
In working one-on-one with me, we will begin with you completing a brain health assessment and clarifying your goals and motivations. We will work out the best brain health plan tailored to you that fits with your lifestyle. Some people like to jump in and do everything at once, some like to make smaller changes at a steady pace. Along the way we will work through any challenges that may arise. Ideally it is best to start with six sessions so that you can begin to see benefits.
Group Coaching
$50 per hour
If you enjoy the support of a group of people working towards similar goals alongside you who you can share successes and challenges with, this is for you. You receive all of the support you would in a one-on-one session but with the added component of working alongside a group of five people. Groups are kept small to allow time for sharing and discussion. Programs typically range from six to 12 weeks depending on the needs of the group, and can be extended if so desired.
