hi, i’m sam sessamen.

Here is what I would want to know about my meditation coach before jumping in!

What makes me qualified?

  • I’m a certified trauma therapist. Although as a meditation coach, I do not practice under my therapeutic license. This background, however, allows me to practice from a trauma informed space. I know how to quickly identify when someone is unregulated, anxious, uncomfortable. I pull from years of working with folks with high anxiety, trauma and dissociation.

  • My own meditation work! I spent years trying but “failing” at developing my own formal meditation practice. I finally found a meditation practice that stuck— because it was rooted in liberation! I follow the work of Lama Rod Owen who helped me understand that “doing my own work” was the foundation of liberation. As a social justice-oriented person, that was magic to my ears.

Who is my ideal client?

  • You’ve tried meditation before and did not enjoy it or thought you were bad at it.

  • You are struggling with the balance of taking care of yourself while being bombarded with oppressive actions and messaging from our current systems.

  • You want to find a sense of inner safety & liberation so you can show up for your family, friends and community.
