About Bodhi
Hi, I’m Sam, the founder of Bodhi Holistic Wellness, established in May 2022.
I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of five — a neurodivergent way of being that has shaped how I experience the world with depth, sensitivity, creativity, and intuition. I was raised within a holistic framework through nutrition, aromatherapy, reflexology, and Reiki; I learned early on that wellbeing is not about fitting into rigid systems, but about listening to the body, the energy, and the rhythms that move through us.
Bodhi was born from a moment of profound unravelling. In 2021, after years of carrying unprocessed grief, generational trauma, and expectations that were never mine to hold, my nervous system reached its limit. Burnout arrived as an initiation. My relationship ended, my corporate career dissolved, and the identity I had built fell away. I felt lost, and was struggling with anxiety, and depression — unaware that this collapse was a sacred invitation into awakening.
As everything stripped back, I began to recognise inherited patterns — ancestral wounds, survival responses, and conditioning passed quietly through generations. With nothing left to cling to, I chose to begin again. I bought a bus, lived off-grid, and returned to the simplicity of Earth-based living. In that stillness, my body softened, my nervous system regulated, and deep healing began.
Leaving the corporate world, I became a dog walker — allowing movement, nature, and presence to become my daily medicine. The land held me while I learned to listen again.
In 2022, guided by my own remembrance, I retrained as an Angelic Reiki and Sound Healing practitioner. These modalities supported profound energetic and ancestral healing, helping me release what was never mine to carry. In 2023, I received the Munay-Ki rites — ancient Andean initiations that reconnected me to Earth wisdom, lineage healing, and the knowing that we are already whole.
In December 2024, I qualified as a Personal Trainer, grounding my spiritual work further into the physical body. I honour the body as sacred — a keeper of memory, intuition, and truth — especially for neurodivergent nervous systems that experience the world more intensely.
My sessions are intuitive and client-led. They may be a simple yet powerful Reiki session focused on energetic balance, or a deeper space that supports you in remembering yourself beneath trauma, masking, and expectation. I work gently, without force, meeting you exactly where you are.
My own path has taught me that growth is often uncomfortable — but within that discomfort lives a strength we didn’t know we carried. Vulnerability is not weakness; it is wisdom, courage, and medicine. Healing is not about becoming someone new — it is about coming home to who you have always been.
Bodhi Holistic Wellness is a space created from lived experience, rooted in compassion, and deep respect for the healing process. I believe that sometimes we don’t break down — we break open — and that by healing ourselves, we heal our lineage — past, present, and future — and remember our place within the wider web of life.
I look forward to working with you
