About

I'm Samalie, a Holistic Personal Development Coach.


My path to helping women overcome burnout and stress by connecting with their bodies, and accessing their feminine essence, wasn't paved with theory alone; it was shaped by the fire of my own experience. For years, I navigated the world feeling the constant pressure to do. As a mental health nurse, I understood the mind's complexities, yet I often felt disconnected from my own deeper currents. I excelled, I achieved, I pushed forward – operating mainly within the masculine frameworks that dominate so much of our world, especially in demanding careers and leadership roles.

Externally, things looked successful, but internally, something essential felt dull. There was a persistent hum of striving, a sense of paddling upstream rather than flowing with the river of life. I was caught in the relentless cycle of effort, mistaking constant action for true progress, and slowly disconnecting from the innate softness, intuition, and grace that I now know are cornerstones of feminine power. I felt the imbalance, the subtle exhaustion beneath the surface, the yearning for... more. More ease, more pleasure, more me.

The turning point wasn't a lightning strike, but a gentle unfolding, a growing curiosity that led me toward practices that honored stillness and inner listening. My journey into yin yoga was profoundly awakening – it taught me the power of surrender, the wisdom held within the body, and the beauty of simply being present. This opened the door to consciously exploring feminine energy – not as an abstract concept, but as a lived reality.

Discovering how to consciously connect with my body to access my feminine energy felt like coming home. It was learning the language of the body and the exquisite art of receiving, not just giving—understanding that collaboration could be more potent than competition. I found profound strength in vulnerability and a captivating grace in moving with life's challenges, rather than bracing against them. This reconnection brought an intoxicating blend of balance, sensuality, and flow into my life and, remarkably, into my work. My intuition sharpened, creativity sparked effortlessly, and success began to feel less like a struggle and more like a natural consequence of living in alignment.

This personal transformation – feeling the deep, resonant pleasure of living connected to my core feminine self – ignited an undeniable passion within me. I saw so many brilliant, ambitious women around me trapped in the same cycle of doing, striving, and burning out that I had known so well. My background as a mental health nurse provided a deep understanding of the human psyche, becoming a Board-Certified Health & Wellness Nurse Coach gave me the tools to empower lasting change, and my love for yin yoga offered pathways to embodiment. All these threads wove together, pointing toward a clear calling.

And so, my work was born – not just from professional training, but from the heart of my own journey back to myself. Today, I empower high-impact women to embark on their own path of reconnection. I guide women to connect with their bodies to access their feminine essence, unlocking their innate intuition, amplifying their creativity, and redefining success on their own terms – terms that include pleasure, grace, and profound alignment. It is my deepest joy to witness women reclaim their flow and step into the full radiance of their power.
