I created Samadhi Wellness because I know what it feels like to be living someone else’s version of your life.

I’ve navigated burnout, grief, and the disorienting experience of not recognizing yourself in the life you’ve built. What brought me back wasn’t pushing harder or thinking my way through it—it was learning to listen to my body, work with my nervous system, and trust the quiet knowing that had been there all along.

That journey is the foundation of everything I offer here.

Who I work with.

I work with women, men, nonbinary, and LGBTQIA+ individuals—ages 25 to 45—who are in the middle of a shift. A career that no longer fits. An identity that’s outgrown its container. A persistent sense of burnout that rest alone doesn’t touch.

You’re not lost. You’re in transition. And you’re ready to stop white-knuckling it and start moving with intention—without dismantling the stability you’ve worked hard to build.

How we work together.

Samadhi Wellness integrates breathwork, somatic practice, and identity-focused coaching to help you move out of survival mode and back into clarity. Breathwork is the entry point—a direct, practical tool for regulating your nervous system so that real self-awareness becomes accessible, not just conceptual.

From there, the deeper work begins: reconnecting with your values, your voice, and your sense of authorship over your own life.

I offer 1:1 sessions, local workshops, and immersive programs. No fixing. No forcing. Just honest, grounded support for the transition you’re already in.

You already know something needs to change.

This is the space where you figure out what that means—and how to move toward it on your own terms.

Founder Bio – Emily Samad

For more than a decade, I poured my heart into hospitality leadership. I was the one people turned to for solutions, support, and direction. But behind the polished surface, I was running on empty. Burnout became a cycle—push harder, achieve more, crash, repeat. Sound familiar? When the exhaustion became impossible to ignore, I knew I needed a different path. That search led me to the practices that would change everything: breathwork, a consistent yoga practice, and energy healing. What began as a way to recover became a doorway into healing I didn’t know was possible.

Through breath, movement, and energy healing, I rediscovered balance and a sense of purpose that no title or career achievement had ever given me. With years of experience in hospitality and food & beverage, I’ve always been passionate about curating meaningful experiences that bring people together. What began as creating memorable moments through service has evolved into holding space for deeper transformation.

As a certified 200-hour yoga teacher and Awakened Breath trauma-informed breathwork specialist– I design retreats, classes and other immersive programs that invite you to reconnect with yourself. Find liberation through adventure. And cultivate confidence by learning to navigate stress with more ease. My heart’s work is to create spaces that feel both nurturing and empowering—where every detail is thoughtfully held so you can simply arrive, breathe, and rediscover the joy of being fully you. I guide others who are ready to step off the hamster wheel of stress and into a life that feels nourishing and true.
