I decided to become a coach because I was in a corporate job that no longer gave me a sense of purpose and when I found out about Pause, it sparked some energy in my body.
The best part for me is the personal development journey you will go on. It is a complete rollercoaster. You will have good days and bad days and everything in between but the amount of support you receive throughout your journey is incredible. You are helped, guided and supported every step of the way. I will walk away from this course with life long friends and for that I am truly grateful.
If you feel that excitement in your body, take that courageous step and change your life.
This course teaches you so much that you will walk away with a solid foundation to start coaching immediately and coach with confidence. Worth every penny and I would recommend it to anyone.

Program Features
PRACTICUM
PERSONAL MENTORSHIP
MEMBERSHIP SITE & ACCESSIBILITY
You will have an easily accessible & easy to use online portal that includes material for all learning styles. Every module includes a video, a reflection form, an audio practice, transcripts and visuals (when needed).
PRIVATE COMMUNITY
As a Certification student, you will have exclusive access to a private membership site where you can interact daily with your peers and mentors. The purpose of this group is for you to have a safe space to share your experience during the program and seek support from other participants.
INTEGRATION & TITRATION
As a trauma-informed program, it is important that you have breaks to integrate everything you are learning & experiencing. Within the 10 months, there are 3 one-week breaks. We are also mindful of how much information we teach at one time, to allow for digestibility + titration.
GRADUATION RETREAT
Pause will host a 2-day online graduation retreat at the end of the program. This event is optional but encouraged as a way for you to come together with your peers, mentors, and Samantha.
LIVE EMBODIMENT LABS, COMMUNITY MEDITATIONS & OBSERVATION CALLS
Throughout the entirety of the program, you will participate in embodiment labs, community meditations & mastermind calls. The embodiment labs are where you learn directly from Samantha and the mentors to deeply embody everything you’ve learned from the membership site. Before each lab, there is a guided meditation available to you to support you with transitioning from daily life into learning. Observation calls are where you get to witness coaching in real-time and ask your questions. All of the calls we offer are designed with the intention to deeply support you with being a powerful coach.
Everything starts with the coach.
Continued work and personal growth is vital to the success of any excellent coach.
The best coaches in the world are the ones who are fully integrated and constantly evolving.
I believe in embodiment. I believe we should emulate what we are sharing. Each cell of our being should be in alignment with the words that we speak. We should be walking the walk in addition to talking.
I’ve decided to become a coach after going through a long journey of self-development.
The best part about this program was learning that there’s so much more than mindset work and positive thinking when it comes to facilitating sustainable change.
This program really holds you close while you learn and embody these life changing skills. One of the things I’m most grateful for is the limitless opportunities & designated time to practice the skills as we learn them; and of course an amazing support system of incredible mentors to lean on as we navigate our own healing.
A truly incredible experience.

Your time is now, the world is waiting for you.
The next step for you in this process is to fill out the application and book a call with us.
Our intention is to get to know you and understand your vision and goals. It’s so important that you choose to join us from a place of alignment. It needs to feel like a full body “YES!” Let’s explore your aspirations together and find out if pursuing this.
And remember, when the body says ‘YES’, you’ll figure out the rest.
You came to this Earth for a reason
You are here for a reason.
You know there’s more to life than hustling for your worth and always being in survival mode.
You are a being of light and love and you are meant to live a life that lights you up from the inside out.
You are a healer.
You are a heart-centered lightworker who wants to help others and change the world.
Being here is your first step toward doing just that.
The act of YOU stepping into your power and giving yourself permission to follow your bliss will have a ripple effect that will enable others to do the same.
Just stop for minute and think of how amazing it would be to live in a world where:
It’s absurd to think we ever hated ourselves or questioned our worth..
Joy was our resting position, our nature state
Everyone is connected to themselves at a deeper level.
The day to day struggle has been replaced by day to day thriving.
This isn’t some far off fantasy…
This is the reality that is waiting for us…
We just need enough lightworkers to step up, own their power, and get to work.
So…wanna join the movement?
Why is this a 10 month program?
Real, lasting transformation takes time, whether you’re a coach or a client.
There is a lot of content to cover in this program, and we want to make sure you not only have time to learn the ins and outs of these teachings but also have the time to practice them and integrate them into your own life and coaching practice.
High quality coaches who truly impact their clients take personal responsibility for their own commitment to growth and development.
One off training or 2-day seminars are usually quick and dirty. They do not give you the exposure to content and the time to integrate the lessons learned into your skill set. The bottom line here
is that I want you to be successful ASAP. And to achieve that, you need to be willing to commit to the time and lessons it will take to get you there.
Introducing The Phoenix Formula
The Phoenix Formula transformation will enable you to take any client from a “numbed out” state to emotional freedom. Here are the core modules you will go through:
- Mapping Out The
- Human Experience
- Playing With Energy
- Embracing & Transcending Pain
- Developing Forgiveness, Courage + Trust
- Evolving & Embodying True Nature
Words cannot describe the depth of my gratitude for the certification program. Not only was I able to master my emotions and heal decades of pain I’d believed I was stuck with forever–but it gave me the skills to help others do the same.
If I never made a penny off what I learned, the transformation itself would be well worth the investment. However, in the 10 months since graduating the program, I have generated over $102,000 from my coaching programs. I also have two Italy retreats planned for next year, one of which is completely booked out and will yield over $10,000 in my pocket after expenses.
I’m excited to take everything I learned this past year so that I can grow my business even more. Making money has never been more fun, easy, fulfilling or rewarding. The program has been an absolute gift to my life and so many of the lives I get to touch every day.

Wondering if you’re a Perfect Fit for this Program?
If you resonate with one of the below
describes you came to the right place…
You are already an experienced coach. You took your Life Coach Certification, but still feel there is something missing. You aren’t going deep enough and feel a general sense of unfulfillment from just the tactic tools and mindset work. You are ready to go further, transform deeper and raise your prices.
You’ve never coached before. But, you have that feeling, that inner fire that is guiding you to finally pursue your calling and step into your dharma. You are ready to deeply immerse yourself in the world while developing a skill set that will change the world.
You aren’t sure you want to be a coach, yet. You are craving a container where you can grow alongside a community of people who think like you. You are ready to find your tribe and elevate into your highest self.

A Note From Samantha
I spent years of my life in therapy, working on my mindset, constantly trying to “force my way” through personal development. Being the naturally active thinker that I am, I used this same logic to try and “think my way out of my eating disorder and chronic anxiety” and failed, time and time again.
I can remember therapists saying that I needed more sessions or I just needed to try harder. I felt defeated and like a failure. I tried so hard to heal myself over and over again, and it never worked, so I acted out negatively and constantly berated my mind and body.
After years of this vicious cycle of trying to heal myself with all of the quick fixes and bandaid on bullet wound methods that were out there, and always failing, I finally realized that there had to be another way.
Cognitive strategies just weren’t working, and although I avoided alternative methods like the plague, I finally got real with myself and had a “come to Jesus” moment to admit that all the ways I was told I could heal myself just weren’t working. So I decided to explore energy work and learn the fundamentals of energetic alignment and energetic clearing.
Within weeks of starting this work, everything changed
For once in my life, I could FEEL. I could feel emotions that weren’t just anxiety. It was the first time I felt FREE of the heaviness permanently crushing my chest. I was able to breathe deeply without emotionally overwhelming myself.
I FELT FREE. I FELT BLISSFUL. I FELT ALIVE.
I wondered why the standards of healing were so backwards. We weren’t addressing the emotional body at all, and that is the foundation for trauma and pain.
This is when my healing journey truly began. This is where I stopped the overconsumption of information (like fad diets, books, podcasts, blogs, etc.) and began to explore the depths of the wounding that was manifesting into the desire to numb my emotionality in the first place.
Through this work, my never-ending struggle finally made sense. It finally all came together. I realized:
If we want to start feeling better, we need to be better feelers.
I truly believe we are going to help the world heal when we help the world feel. There is no other way. This is what I believe from the depths of my soul, and based on the transformations I’ve witnessed in working with thousands of women throughout my career.
Will you help me carry the torch of healing others through feeling?
All love,
Samantha
Is this worth the investment?
It takes dedication, commitment, and hard work to build a successful coaching brand and business.
There is no way around this type of commitment. If you’re looking for easy shortcuts or a quick and dirty way to become a millionaire, then this program isn’t for you.
But if you are ready to up level your coaching practice or start a coaching company from scratch, we can give you the tools and skill set to establish a successful company in an industry filled with endless coaching opportunities.
You will be trained to charge $100 – $500 per hour-long session, based on your positioning and the services that you offer. An important part of the process will be allowing you to discover and refine your true passion, so that you are highly motivated to serve your client base.
I will give you the tools and knowledge that I used to make this a reality for myself. If you take everything you are taught and implement it–if you really commit to an abundance mindset and work to make it happen–I truly believe you will have success as a coach.
Will you help me carry the torch of healing others through
