Today we’d like to introduce you to Sam Miletich.
Hi Sam, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
After finishing my bachelors degree I worked in a big gym chain and was there for a few years before Covid happened. I would see a lot of people come in with different needs and realized I wanted to be able to help people on a different level. I decided to go to the New School of Structural Integration in Laguna.
Having my own struggles with back pain and posture and seeing results from SI really pushed me to want to provide this service to others. I am happy to offer both personal training and SI.
I love being able to help people physically feel stronger and more able but also help them overcome the structural patterns in their body that might be restricting them from doing what they want to do in everyday life.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I don’t think owning your own business can ever be described as smooth. As much as I want to be able to pretend it’s all easy and I get to do what I want to do there are still many obstacles to overcome when you are fully in charge of your own income.
You are forced to really face yourself and what is holding you back which can feel defeating at times. However coming back to my purpose and why I do what I do always grounds me.
The ebbs and flows of having a service business can feel overwhelming at times. I also would like to acknowledge that this is an investment that people are putting into my hands and I do not take that lightly. Making this service more known and accessible will always be my goal.
In the end everyone wants results and I want to provide such and I like to educate people on the process of SI and why it is structured through 10 sessions to ultimately align your body. Our bodies didn’t create these patterns overnight and a solution won’t be either.
We’ve been impressed with Aligned by Sam, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Aligned by Sam was created with the intention to create a space for your body. The Rolfing part is to create length in your body so it can ground from the bottom up. So your whole body is included in your day to day than just individual parts. Focusing on compensation patterns and restrictions that you may have been holding onto from a young age whether it’s emotional, neurological or physical holdings.
These sessions each address a different part of your body and have an intention for each session. The wholistic aspect of this work is really what makes it transformational in the end.
Being able to offer in home personal training to aid with this also can help you feel stronger and move better once these restrictions are confronted and encouraged to let go. Creating the overall goal to re-educate your body not just force changes upon it.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
I see this industry continually growing in the future. I think society is not looking for band aids anymore. People want to reconnect to themselves and others in a very disconnected world. I witness a lot of people not feeling heard by their medicine and are seeking different methods to make themselves feel better.
