I was struggling really bad with binge eating & anxiety. I have had an eating disorder for around 5 years now.
Constantly feeling like a victim and had a huge weight constantly sitting on my shoulders. SAMMIE helped me uncover things I didn’t know I was bottling up and really helped me step back and observe why things were happening.
I can never ever thank you enough for what you have given me. I seriously hit the lottery finding you. You have given me so much light and perspective on things I was so blinded by. You have taught me to build an understanding and practice towards accepting myself to do things for me. Switching my depriving mindset to look at all things in my life as if I have everything in abundance. I truly feel that now.

“Sammie offers such a warm and supportive environment that guides you to be the best version of yourself.
The tools I’ve learnt on this program have allowed me to gain a greater understanding of my limiting beliefs and the power of re-programming our thoughts.
Through this journey I’ve developed a much more loving relationship within myself and learning to live with authenticity and presence. It was defiantly scary to take that first step and join, but it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself.”

Anne Maree saved our marriage. No doubt about it whatsoever. We had tried other therapies/counselling but nothing seemed to help. Thanks to Anne Maree we are happy again- so very, very grateful…

My journey with Anne-Maree has been one of the most profound experiences i've had on the journey back to myself. Ive been to many psychologists/ therapists in general over my time and never have i had such a safe space made for me to be allowed to work through some of my life's biggest road bumps.
To be able to work through my difficulties at a speed that allows me to understand and see from a fresh pair of eyes has proven to be, to me, the most important part about seeing Anne-Maree.
Her unconditional positive regard has lifted me above my dark days into a whole new paradigm of thinking and mostly, being. I believe the beauty of every session with Anne-Maree is her complete transparency, there is absolutely no beating around the bush. I've recently done a distant healing ( SYDNEY - BYRON BAY ) over the phone, because i simply cant trust anybody else. I clearly can’t recommend Anne-Maree enough.

Anne-Maree has helped me overcome depression, learn to love myself and become a more loving wife, mother, daughter and friend.
Through a combination of straight talking (but said in kindness), card readings and Reiki healing Anne-Maree has helped me change my mind-set and follow my truth. In just a few sessions I am now less reactive, emotional and judgemental of others.
I am a stronger, happier person and I can see how this is benefiting all those around me. I'm excited about the future and all the benefits this healing can bring to my life. Thank you so much Anne-Maree for coming into my life.

Anne-Maree was a serendipity meeting. Right away she connected with me…and wow what a journey of transformation!
With so much turmoil and challenges that dampened my personal lens of who I thought I was and what I believed I could achieve….to now seeing life through a whole new kaleidoscope of possibilities.
We have the strength and wisdom within us…we sometimes need that helping hand to find the key. Anne-Maree offers that helping hand with the mind, body and spirit.
She provides understanding, compassion, unconditional love and pure hearted belief that each and every-one of us can shine. Anne-Maree has the ability to work with all ages assisting my children also. They say… When the student is ready the teacher will come…and I am so very grateful for this beautiful teacher!

When I came to Sammie, I was extremely lost: I struggled with constant comparison and jealousy, found it difficult to overcome shame and bitterness, constantly downplayed my strengths due to feeling never good enough, and was cripplingly insecure.
The thought of putting myself out there and being seen was terrifying, so I never did it and continued to ‘play small’. Without Sammie I would never had unlocked the flow I now have in my life.
Sammie encouraged me to never judge my emotions but to get present with them, learn to create space and get curious around how I was feeling. I am so much more engaged with my inner world now, and I am more confident and assured as a result. Speaking with Sammie every fortnight was the push I needed to start making myself a priority, through this I am a better child, sister, partner and colleague as I have a stronger sense of self and am aware of what I need before I start giving to others.
I now have the tools to confront difficult tasks, conversations and people with greater confidence, vulnerability and love in a manner that honours myself and who I am. I always looked forward to our sessions; and I felt very grounded, seen, supported and cared for. She always encouraged me to be proud of my progress, gentle with myself and to lead with love - this is a practise I will take with me throughout life.”

When I first came to Sammie, I was in a place of quite intense anxiety, consistently waking up with that feeling of being ‘on edge’ and it not getting any better throughout the day.
I was experiencing situations daily where I was giving too much of my energy away to people and to things that weren’t returning anything positive back. I had drifted so far away from my being it felt as if I’d forgotten I was my own person all together.
Sammie has an incredible way of communicating, her nature is so warm and welcoming, I felt extremely comfortable from the moment we met.
Through conversation, meditation and conscious breath work, I was able to unravel my anxieties, learn to create space and let an abundance of light in. The two most valuable lessons Sammie has taught me is that ‘Being present in a moment isn’t always achievable but it’s always an option’ and that ‘Change Begins with Me.’ These two things I remind myself of every day. Thank you so much for all your help Sammie.

I was always prioritising others before myself and depleting myself of any joy. The sad part is, I didn't even realise it at the time. Sammie has made me realise the importance of choosing joy over fear, and asking me key questions to then ask myself - are my actions going to nourish me or deplete me? I started to see and notice more through my everyday life & thoughts that all that I do was out of fear, and many of the things that I am adamant of have led me to depletion.
Through time and small steps, Sammie has helped me nourish my mind and give my approaches to things a different meaning. Instead of looking at a glass as half empty or half full, it's refillable. The possibilities are endless if you and your mind allow it. So thank you Sammie. You have changed my life.

The lessons learnt with Anne-Maree have been magnified, and have significantly aided my healing and recovery physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
My learning is ongoing, but I have become much kinder on myself when I make mistakes and shift back to love.
