Hilary Samuel

I didn't expect to find my calling in helping people sleep!

I myself have struggled with sleep at various times in my life and the last thing I wanted to do was to focus on sleep. When I became a Health Coach, however, I realized that getting great sleep was the ideal first step for my clientele. I know firsthand what it is like to not be able to sleep; what gets in the way of sleep, what its like to toss and turn all night, and how depleting it is, both mentally and physically, to sleep poorly. I have figured out for myself what it takes to get restful sleep every night and wake up energized and ready for the day.

As I developed my health coaching practice with a focus on improved sleep, I came to a surprising insight; my own poor sleep has been one of my greatest teachers in life! As a result of having trained myself to get great sleep, I have developed mental mastery skills that have contributed to greater happiness in life, as well as life-habits that help me maintain optimal health.

Additionally, a person who struggles with sleep often fits a profile that I myself embody.  Some of these characteristics can make life more difficult and I have learned to resolve these things to lead a happy, energetic, and productive life. These characteristics include perfectionism, a tendency towards rumination, bouts of depression, and some ADHD-like behaviors. My life journey has been about managing my moods and state of mind while optimizing health, happiness, and personal growth.

With a background in psychology, coaching, functional medicine, earth-based spirituality, and biology, I have the education, expertise, and compassion to help others find sleep, peace, and positive energy. Other passions in my life include time spent in nature, especially when hiking, cycling, skiing or camping. I ardently believe that human health and the health of all of nature are intimately intertwined. I maintain my own health through nutrition, exercise, and reflection. I am an adventurer and learner, and I always find life interesting!
