Meet Samara
I’m a business coach, musician, designer, mother, wife, and dog mom based in Edmonton Alberta, in Canada.
In 2019, I quit a teaching job to take my side-gig of full-time. Since then, I've scaled multiple creative businesses to multiple six-figures by blending intuitive guidance with tried-and-true strategy.
Work with me
I offer various private and group mentorship container options to help entrepreneurs build (or more often, rebuild) their online businesses to experience more time freedom, satisfaction from their work, positive impact on their clients and communities, and financial overflow. My approach to creating feel-good businesses is rooted in intuitive strategy, feminine leadership, internal safety, and taking aligned action steps. Explore options for working together here.
