Sami is an open-minded, big dreamer. She isn’t one to put labels on herself or others. But, if you had to ask who she is, the answers are: Visionary, Change Maker, Medicine Woman, Master Level Shamanic Breathwork ® Practitioner, Ordained Shamanic Minister, Energy Worker, Crystal Healer, Empathi, Cacao Spirit Guide, Daughter, Mother, Sister, and Animal Lover (especially cats!).
The most important thing to know is that her life’s work is centered around building connections within and without, above and below - and she comes to it with an open heart.
“She has a very sweet and caring energy in everything she does. A very authentic being.”

Sami welcomes those choosing to work with into her sweet, gentle energetic circle with love, empathy, and nurturing energy. Here, she helps them shift, grow, and show up differently in the world by achieving deep connections within themselves.
“A special person – I wouldn’t have been here if it was not for Sami.”
With humility and an open heart, Sami’s gentle soul will guide you through the cycles of seasonal change - helping you to rediscover & reconnect with yourself, nature, and the world around you; allowing you to go to the depths of your heart’s desires; and to find your own Wild:ness.
Sami had her world changed by Shamanic Breathwork, which ripped open her wounds and led her to the shamanic path, being in service to others through the breath. After leaving a career in advertising, she encountered the shamanic path in the magical vortex of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, through ancient Mayan fire ceremonies - and was forever changed.
Through visions and knowings, she realized that she was no longer alone in the world, and became intimately connected to the five elements, along with the animal and spirit worlds. No stranger to deep inner work and looking below the surface, Sami has created Wild:ness to bring this transformational energy to bear, helping others achieve the fulfillment in life they were meant to have.
With gentle hands and loving heart, Sami serves her students by bringing together the most inspiring teachers and effective healing modalities. She’s known for her high level of detail, and the ease in which she brings structure and form to the strongest ceremonial containers. As you walk between worlds on your journey, you’ll find that you can go wherever you need to with confidence, support, and safety. Sami looks to create the deepest, richest experiences possible for all whom she guides on the shamanic path.
“She took care of everything I needed, so I could be in full participation. Thank you!”
