About Calm with Sam....
​My name is Sam, founder and creator of Calm with Sam. A little bit about me is I'm a highly sensitive, calm, kind, empathetic, reassuring, encouraging and very much a heart led person.
​
At Calm with Sam my vision is to help adults by teaching Therapeutic Breathwork techniques and educate about Functional Breathwork and how optimal breathing, patterns and behaviours can help you regulate the nervous system allowing you to be more present and live a value led life.
​
Specialising in reducing and relieving stress, anxiety and chronic conditions, all of which I have first hand experience with over the last 10-20 years and would like to share what I have learnt to help you aid a better balance in your life.
Find Calm with Sam....

I'm delighted to say that I will be delivering Signature CALM, CLEAR, CONNECT and C.C.C Breathwork classes in-person at this incredible studio. It really is a stunning example of Scandinavian Hygge and the perfect calming environment to come together and practice Breathwork!!

My Journey
2004-2014
Diagnosis of Autoimmune Conditions
Diagnosed with Pernicious Anemia and B12 Deficiency in my early 20's and Fibromyalgia in 2014. Both autoimmune conditions can cause me symptoms such as chronic fatigue, widespread pain, headaches, brain fog, irregular sleeping patterns and IBS to name just a few.... I have learnt that stress and anxiety are my biggest triggers that cause flare ups, which when I struggle to balance can render me completely off my feet with my mental health also suffering significantly.
2014 to Present
Holistic Journey
The last 10 years particularly, have been anything but easy trying to learn about my conditions, how best to balance them as well as having to deal with multiple traumatic events from the past and present.
My holistic journey to self discovery has been lengthy and I'll just add an ongoing one and has included several modalities such as a Stress Control Course, Counselling, Pilates, Meditation, Mindfulness, Chiropractic Care, Breathwork, Sound Healing and Reiki.
​
The holistic approach suits me well as I have several sensitivities and allergies to various medications but mostly it sits well with my personality, character and mindset.​
2023-2025
Breathwork and Creating Calm with Sam
In 2023 I found Breathwork and not just what I had been doing within my Stress Control exercises and meditations. This was learning Breathwork not only on a Therapeutic level but also Functional. I joined a Heal Academy course in January 2024 and then the opportunity arose in April to train as a Breathe Instructor and I knew immediately it was something I had to do. Fast forward to the end of July 2024 and I had qualified. It was after this the idea of creating Calm with Sam came about so that I can share what I have learnt with everyone.
