Hidden Gems: Meet Samantha Sanchez of Samantha Sanchez Health Coaching

Today we’d like to introduce you to Samantha Sanchez

Hi Samantha, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Like so many practitioners, my business and my mission is a direct result of my life’s journey so far. In my teens and twenties I was experiencing signs that my body and my hormones were imbalanced, but I did not know how to discern those messages my body was sending. The PMS, painful cramping before my period, digestive pain, extreme exhaustion, and acne just seemed like part of living in a female body. I tried a lot of conventional and even functional routes to feel better. I tried extreme diets and more intense exercise, which all led to feeling more depleted. Eventually, I found my way to learning about gut health and made many changes to my lifestyle to support my gut, minerals, and how my body responds to stress. Those lifestyle changes gave me more energy and physical support to explore emotional and energetic healing that has created ease and joy in my body.

Because of my own experiences and the healing I’ve witnessed in clients, colleagues and friends, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to health and wellness. I believe each of us are whole people. We don’t “achieve” healing through dissecting our bodies into parts and systems. We create healing through relationship with our bodies – physically, emotionally, mentally, and energetically. All aspects are interconnected. When we create healing in one area, we inherently create healing in the others.

This is why I became a board-certified functional wellness coach focused on female wellness education and mentoring. My business has shifted and transformed over the past five years, and the iteration I’m in now is focused on guiding women into deep connection with their bodies through their menstrual cycle and fertility. I have found through working with my amazing clients that creating deep trust with their bodies must be step one in creating the healing they desire to experience in their physical bodies. I think of this as a reclamation of the sex ed we never received. Knowledge about our bodies, sex hormones and fertility leads to deep trust and responsibility for our health and wellness.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I’ve had many bumps over the past five years. As I’ve gained experience with clients (and continue on my own journey through life), I’ve felt the need to seek out a variety of trainings and mentorships to piece together what I believe I need in order to offer women a safe, honoring, holistic space for clients to create re-connection, self-responsibility, and lifestyles that support them. There’s always more to learn and new perspectives to consider, and I see myself as a learner even as I guide others. The “bumps” usually come in the form of a question that I’m not able to answer, which I view as an invitation to learn more. I believe it’s important to follow the nudges from the universe that come in the form of questions, “problems,” and even mysterious physical/emotional symptoms.

We’ve been impressed with Samantha Sanchez Health Coaching, 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?
My business is focused on educating and mentoring women about their bodies and how to create the easy, regular, pain-free periods and healthy fertility that they desire. This isn’t an authoritative type of coaching. This is an empowering, co-creative mentorship. I teach women what is happening throughout their menstrual cycles (physically and energetically) and guide them in attuning to their bodies throughout their cycles. I believe that fertility is not just about having babies, but it is about female vitality. Regardless of whether you desire (or are able) to have children, your menstrual cycle is a clear window into your vitality and the creative energy women are able to bring into the world.

In my mentorship I utilize the amazing, vital information from Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), but we do this in a deep, embodied way. It’s not just about information and rules; it’s about creating relationship with your body. I believe this is a much more effective and healing way of utilizing FAM.

I also offer one-on-one female wellness mentoring, where we utilize mineral and gut testing to help support women in designing lifestyles that truly support their bodies to create energy, vitality, and easy, regular menstrual cycles.

What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
I believe true success comes from embodiment. It’s very important to me that I embody all that I’m teaching. I don’t just regurgitate information that I’ve memorized. I actually live it. This is what I believe truly sets me apart from other practitioners and modalities. Embodiment is magnetic.
