Praise

“Samantha’s work feels unconditional, careful, and also unbounded. It feels to me that Samantha understands acutely the language of the body, she allows it to express itself and speaks back in a language my soma understands.  Samantha’s attentiveness and presence allows the conversation to happen, allows a safe environment where the conversation goes much deeper than any other modality I’ve participated in. For me, the work happens most profoundly at the limits of my understanding and outside of any paradigms limiting my perspective.  But Samantha is also very good at translating these experiences back into verbal language and into terms directly relevant and applicable to our material lives. The exchange feels fluid, and even beautiful, but often the work isn’t ‘easy’. Always if feels a new energetic constellation emerges and a healing has been put in motion.“

Mina Glisovic ~ founder of The Healing Space

“Samantha’s sessions are nothing less than extraordinary. Skillfully listening in to my body, attentive and technically perceptive, Sam has a great level of duty of care. I have found her work instrumental in relieving my complex shoulder, neck and jaw tension. I highly recommend Sam as a practitioner to others and only wish I lived in the same town as her permanently.”

Emily Hartley Sharpe ~ Mind Foundation & Kinesiologist

“Every now and again I come across a practitioner who really blows me away. I can easily say this about Samantha Johnson. I have been around the block a few times, and what Samantha offers is very much worth *pausing* and saying “yes” to diving into. To me, she is able to “see” into your body, and encourage you to put your attention in that area to let go, open, enliven and unwind. Good for trauma, held patterns, tension, stuck issues, etc I have studied craniosacral therapy for two years and been a bodywork practitioner for many years, so I know what I’m talking about and I don’t say this lightly - if you want to work deeply within yourself, and have a very skilled practitioner support you in this, make an appointment to see Samantha”

Dan Sanderson, Physiotherapist

“In my remote session Samantha clearly facilitated a strong, intuitive and present space for me to move through psychogenic blockages in my body-mind. As a therapist myself, and considering how much I prefer hands on work, I recommend Samantha highly for distance work, as she has certainly cultivated the capacity to sense other peoples energetics outside of space/distance limitations. Unlike many therapists I’ve witnessed, whose minds and presence often deviates or wanders, she stayed present with me, in a caring and eloquent manner. Supportively coaxing my own awareness and intelligence with skilled techniques and approaches to sit, accept and inevitably dispel the resistances and blockages within me.
Thank you for the insights and releases!”

Trevor Wills ~ Graphic Designer / Bio-Energetic Therapist

“I feel very grateful to have found such an Intuitive and skilled therapist like Samantha Johnson. Samantha obviously has a vast knowledge of many different Principles of working with the Body and has a unique ability to Intuitively know what is needed at any particular time. It is at these moments that her Experience and Presence bring such a sense of Trust and Safety that you do not leave the session in the same way that you entered it. I highly recommend Samantha for her Integrity, Warmth, Expertise, Intuitiveness and Presence.“

Maggie Andrews ~ Psychotherapist

“Samantha is a quiet, wildly preceptive hands on practitioner. She affords me true credit for experiencing being in my body, she listens to me with depth of being, and offers valuable insight and generous support. She has a laudable knowledge of the body and its ways. She has created a safe setting for me to embody myself more fully; assisting mapping of my body, reacquainting and returning home within. I feel that all manner of complexities are untangled and I have simply returned to my greatest gift of self. Sam is a consummate healer. My sessions with her are incredibly valuable to me.”

Emily Joy ~ Teacher

“Samantha shows great talent in her craft. I entered the session thinking I was going to work on what I thought was the issue and it became clear that it was something completely different, which came from a deeper place. Samantha showed she has a great ability to read what the body was holding onto. After the session it took me a couple of days to process everything, then I started to feel very different. Now I feel as though I have better clarity and am seeing things through fresh more energetic eyes. The need to ‘push on’ has started to fade away and I am enjoying observing moments for what they are.”

Sally Howe, Surfing Instructor

“Samantha is incredibly skilled at treating the impact of trauma on the mind, body and spirit. She has a talent for being simultaneously gentle and powerful. Samantha draws from a knowledge base that is extensive: from ancient traditions to the frontiers of neurobiology, and from her own inner wisdom. With Samantha you truly feel you are in safe hands for your healing journey.”
