Plant medicine integration & Life coaching

About

Meet me

My name is Samanta.
I’m a Life Coach and Entheogenic Medicine Integration Specialist, deeply committed to supporting the healing of the mind, body, and soul.

I work with people navigating a variety of challenges- trauma, childhood wounds, codependent relationships, addiction, loss and grief, a fragile sense of self, and the shifts that come before and after plant medicine journeys.

My passion for this work is rooted in my own healing journey, which has been enriched by personal experiences and professional growth. I’ve learned through plant medicines, Indigenous communities and cosmologies, academic research, and ongoing trainings.

With this blend of lived experience and expertise, I’ve been honored to help many people reconnect with their authentic selves and move toward a life that feels aligned and true.

Background

My passion for helping others began with my own healing journey - a search for freedom when every conventional path had been exhausted without lasting change. At that point, I had to seek something different. That search led me to plant medicines - a journey unlike any other.

Early on, I realized that the real work begins after the ceremonies. Through trial and error, I developed blueprints that have served not only me but many others over the years — people with and without plant medicine experiences.

The driving force behind my work as an Integration and Life Coach is both powerful and simple: I wish someone had met me where I was, given me the tools and guidance I so desperately needed, and helped me navigate the storm of emotions that felt like multiple rollercoasters racing in opposite directions - all at once.

My healing journey ignited a fire within me — embers that glow brighter with every person I have the privilege of guiding and supporting. And although all I went through was necessary to bring me to where I am today, I also recognize that, with the right guidance, some of the repeated struggles could have been eased or even avoided.

My Services

I offer a range of services including :

Plant Medicine Integration

Plant Medicine Ceremony Preparation

Life and Transformational Coaching

Spiritual Emergency Management

Shadow Work and Inner Child Healing

Workshops and Retreats

These services are designed to support you through preparation and integration, help overcome obstacles and limiting beliefs, transform your life, shift your mindset, and achieve your goals.

I believe everyone has the potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Together, we explore root causes by uncovering patterns, beliefs, and traits formed throughout your life, including shadow aspects and inner child wounds. Understanding why you feel, think, and behave the way you do is key to choosing approaches that truly resonate and work for you.

By actively embodying these shifts and working toward your goals, you too can unlock your full potential and create a life you genuinely love.

Plant Medicines and Integration

Most of our fears, beliefs, and ways of seeing the world are shaped early in life, formed from the experiences and conditioning we absorb when we have little control over what’s happening around us. Like sponges, we soak up the information in our environment, which builds the unique lens through which we perceive reality.

Each of us sees the world in our own distinct way, shaped by our surroundings and relationships. As we grow, we continue to interpret life through these established beliefs and patterns, even when they no longer serve us.

Our personality and sense of self begin to develop during a time when we’re not yet making our own choices. We are largely shaped by the environment we’re given. Later in life, even when we believe we’re making decisions freely, we often find that unconscious conditioning limits our ability to respond without bias, especially when unresolved issues linger beneath the surface.

Many of us unknowingly recreate family dynamics, past experiences, or familiar patterns simply because it’s what we know.

Along the way, life’s challenges and experiences add weight to this unseen baggage. Our subconscious plays a dual role — both protector and captor. When painful experiences go unprocessed, it builds protective “bubbles” to shield us from feeling that pain fully. But these defenses can leave us feeling numb, unworthy, or stuck in cycles like addiction, self-harm, dissociation, perfectionism, or unhealthy relationships. The list goes on.

These patterns often arise because our subconscious is trying to protect us from feelings that were too overwhelming to face at the time. Our ego steps in to keep us safe, holding us within what feels like a “comfort zone” — even if that comfort no longer serves us and sometimes causes harm.

Plant medicines like Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, Iboga, Huachuma, and many others are known for gently dissolving our defenses, lowering the guards so we can access deeper parts of ourselves that are often hidden in daily life.

But the experience doesn’t end with the ceremony — in fact, that’s where the real work begins. True transformation happens when we take the insights, visions, and lessons from the medicine and integrate them into our everyday lives.

What surfaces during ceremonies often invites us to continue processing, understanding, and healing in waking life. After a ceremony, there’s a powerful window of opportunity to step in as conscious adults — to feel, grieve, change, and let go.

Plant medicines offer us valuable insight and help clear the canvas so we can start creating a new picture of ourselves, free from the burdens we’ve carried for too long.

From my own journey and years of supporting others, I’ve seen that lasting change comes only when we address the root causes, processing them at the deepest level. After that, it’s about active participation: living those changes daily.

Some people do this by themselves, and some need support through the integration process. There’s no right or wrong way — only what feels right for you and your unique path.

These medicines are not magic bullets, though they are nothing short of magical. While many experience profound breakthroughs in a single ceremony, they aren’t guaranteed to solve all challenges overnight. They require respect, preparation, and ongoing integration to unlock their full potential.

Plant medicines can help you connect with your highest self, gain wisdom, awareness, fulfillment, and discover the answers within you. They don’t fix us, but offer clues and tools to help us heal ourselves.

They reveal the roots of our suffering — and the profound beauty of this existence.

The work begins when you choose to live differently — to be brave and look within, ready to face what lies deep inside and keeps you awake at night.

The journey can be a rollercoaster, but the reward — discovering your true self — is priceless.

What people say

Susan wieland

I sought the help of plant medicines after an abrupt ending of a long-term marriage. I was lost.

It opened a quest in me to understand the bigger picture and stand firmly on my own 2 feet.

After a few journeys, I found an integration coach - Sam. Our initial talk really helped me to make sense of my journeys and we discussed how best to move forward and make lasting changes in my life from a practical integrative perspective. We agreed to work together and start exploring some of the things that have been brought to the surface getting to the root causes of where my thinking, patterns, and beliefs had been created. This helped evolve them and of course, tackle the current challenges in my life - many of which I've kept hidden and locked away - to some extent even from me!

Sam is gentle, firm, perceptive, and intuitive. Making sense, letting go, and moving on is not an easy task for me and there were many ups and downs. Sam has her own practical experiences and understands and guides from a place of love, insight, and knowing.

She has helped me tremendously, and I know that I'm making lasting changes to letting go of my addictions, finding the courage to keep taking the next step, and making space for change while allowing the light in.

I want to share this so everyone remembers that whether you need a 1-hour conversation regarding integration or more in-depth work, Sam is here to guide you, help you to find answers, and step into who you truly are.

I can’t say enough positive things about Sam. I met her at an event I was feeling particularly vulnerable at and she metaphorically and physically wrapped her comforting arms around me and made me feel at ease immediately. Her calm, kind, reassuring, understanding and positive words were very much appreciated at a time they were much needed. Since then Sam has helped me to literally turn my life around very quickly via our weekly coaching and integration sessions. I now feel like a different person well on the way to a different life. If you are feeling stuck at the moment not knowing which way to turn in this overwhelming sea of people and options, I can’t recommend Sam enough. She will hold a safe, grounded and special space for you, allow you to explore your life and yourself with her love, deep emotional integrity and reassuring guidance. I can’t thank you enough Sam

I reached out to Sam after Ayahuasca retreat, as it didn't go the way I expected and I felt confused about it. She helped me make sense of the journey and explained, helped me understand why it went the way it did.

Working with Sam on the long term, I have found her to be very insightful and very good at pinpointing helping me to find the root cause of certain problems in my life. She really understands trauma and how it affects people in their lives and how unhealed trauma stops people from going forward. In my opinion Sam combines spiritual side and practical side of things very well. I also think that once you start working with Sam, she will do her upmost to help resolve your issues because she genuinely cares about people and humanity in general. I found Sam's approaches to be very helpful.

I would recommend her to anyone who needs some help navigating their way into healing.

Sam has been amazing. She has really helped me understand experiences I had in ceremonies and I have been able to take these positives into my day to day life and the change has been unbelievable.

With integration before and after retreats it’s possible for the real changes and healing to happen!

I feel I would have got more out of my first ceremonies if I was having sessions with Sam. I will definitely be working with her for all future ceremonies.

She has helped to keep me sober after a 20 year alcohol addiction so I will forever be greatful

I had few sessions with Sam on my plant medicine journeys as I was struggling to make changes in the integration period and information online was conflicting or i couldn't relate to it. She was very informative and helped me to create routines, action plans and gave me many tools to use in my day to day life. I would recommend her to anyone who is struggling on their return home .

Razia Ahmed

I've met Sam after my first journey with plant medicine in 2022.

After initial conversation that felt aligned and safe, I chose to work with her on more personal level to get to the bottom of my problems, unravel and understand what happened within the ceremonies and dig deep within myself and integrate, create changes in my day to day life. Every time we had a session, she would create a space for me to just fully be myself, all masks off, say what I think and feel without any judgement at all and this is something I have struggled to do all my life, and the more she has created this for me, the more I allowed myself to feel safe not just with her, but within myself. Sam has watched me transform so many times, all the levels, good and bad, up and down and I always felt safe to do so.

While working with Sam I had many revelations and understanding root causes of my problems, and found the courage to face them head strong and move past them in one way or another. I always felt supported every step of the way. I used to run from myself, and any issues I faced, but now when I run I run towards it and deal with it. Honestly, working with Sam is one of the best things I have ever done for myself and I'm very excited for the life in front of me.

I've heard about Sam before going to plant medicine retreat. So I decided to start working with her from the get-go in preparation, integration and then deeper work together.

I came into this journey with many blocks and many supressed emotions. We've been working together for a while now and even though there is still some work to do, my days, my life and my mind became brighter. I have better understanding of my strengths and beautiful traits as well as toxic patterns and behaviours and where do they stem from. Sam is using many different modalities to approach multi-layered issues, and if something doesn't work, she finds a way that does for me. She's guiding from the place of experience not just through work but also her personal experience with Plants and life, and you know and feel it from the moment you talk. I've never felt judged or that I shouldn't feel the way I am, always supported and held.

I've experienced trauma as a young teenager and suffered PTSD as a result of it and no therapies, no medication helped me. It used to numb me enough to not feel and go about my life but never and I mean NEVER did I feel freedom that I do now. I needed someone who has been through life not just learned from the books, someone that fully understood what I'm going through.

We went through so much together and hand to my heart I can say this woman helped me change my life. In my journey I understood much more about my life and that the abuse was just the tip of the iceberg uncovering my patterns of thoughts and behaviours streaming right back to my childhood.

Sam was very patient with me and explained things as many times as needed as my understanding was changing and I was healing I'm not going to lie it was difficult at times but she was holding my hand all the time and never gave up on me even when I wanted to give up on myself. She always knows what to say in hard moments even if I don't like it.

I got so many tools to live by now and learnt that I have a choice in my life.

I can't wait to actually visit and see Sam face to face for the first time hopefully this summer

I reached out to Sam, after i came back from one of the retreats, when I was in a very difficult time of my life, where I was feeling very lost and I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel at all.

All I can say is that it was the best decision I have ever made. First of all she was a person I could trust, even when I couldn't trust myself. With her authenticity, calm, understanding and support she made me feel safe, held and loved. She helped me discover myself, know myself, accept, heal and love myself. The healing journey among others is painful, bumpy and challenging and what mattered to me a lot was that I could reach out to her every time I couldn't cope or understand where I'm at. She is an amazing woman with a lot of knowledge, but first she is always honest and will always meet you where you are.

Lisa fallon

Working with Sam is truly life changing. I have tried medication, counselling, CBT, but kept spiralling into addictions and my self loathing escalated to the point where I completely isolated myself. I was lost, full of resentments and just unable to cope because I never went to the roots of my problems. I didn't believe that I deserve healing. It was Sam, who relentlessly, lovingly and patiently proved to me that I do deserve it, and this unconditional love and total devotion that made the world of difference. She was always there when I needed her and she works in a way that is organic and intuitive. She knew when I needed comfort, empowerment or calling out. She navigated my many emotions with such grace and care, that I can truly say I trust this lady with my life. Sam helped me and supported me when I spoke up to my family about abuse that I suffered as a child, and she helped me see that I am braver and stronger and more loving than I ever allowed myself to feel and be.

After a year I feel connection to myself that is so overwhelmingly beautiful I still struggle to believe it at times, but I feel it and know it and the results in my life speak for themselves. From shadow work, to inner child work, to women circles, integrative practices, she was absolutely the catalyst for ending the pain I was in. I was lost when I found her, but now my relationship are better than ever, I'm social and I'm coming back into work that I love, I enjoy the gym, I'm healthy, I've been clean from my addictions coming up to a year and I KNOW the future is even brighter. Sam is not a life coach or integration coach, she is a wise woman, a sister, a mentor, a healer an angel and gift to this world. If you have a chance to work with Sam, do so, she will teach you how to love yourself and will help you see who you truly are, and there is no greater gift in this life.

Sam is an incredible woman. She understands the mind, behaviour patterns and what I needed when I had no clue in which direction to turn. She has helped me make sense of things and coached me through many difficult times as well as being there to celebrate the little wins. Together we have worked through traumas, figured out building a business, how to build my self esteem, how to put boundaries in place, how to have a voice and communicate, how to develop healthy relationships. Aswell as working 1-1 Sam has held some powerful circles and is so passionate about building up people and bringing the best out in each of us. She truly has a heart of gold and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to dive deep into themselves and create a happier more aligned life.

I've been recommended to contact Sam by dear friend of mine after plant medicine retreat in the jungle as I had hard time navigating my inner mental and emotional state once I got back home. She is knowledgeable about plant medicines and all the baggage that comes after, and she was very good in helping me navigate everything that surfaced after ceremonies or when they came up in our work together. She is very kind loving and compassionate but doesn't sugar coat and gets right to the bottom of what needs to be done to free myself out of cages I created or been put into through the years of conditioning and everything else that came along. The part I loved the most about working with her she showed me how, she entertained every thought and emotional wave I had, without making me feel wrong about it and she showed me how to see myself, how to heal! With full heart of gratitude I can say that after 8 months of intense work with Sam I can breathe and live freely. Thank you so so much.
