Are you ready for soulful alignment, impactful marketing strategies, and kindred clients?

Business coaching For heart-led creatives

You know your creative work is valuable but when it comes to growing your business, you feel out of your depth.

Let’s be honest, creative entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. 

One day, you’re motivated and on top of the world, connecting with your clients and booking new projects. The next moment, you cringe at the thought of posting an Instagram story, writing a blog post, or responding to an inquiry. 

Instead, imagine effortlessly creating content that motivates your dream clients to stop their late-night scrolling and tap your ‘book me/buy me’ button. 

What's holding you back?

  • An empty inbox or inconsistent inquiries from so-so clients.

  • Knowing you're undercharging for your offerings – but not knowing how to raise your rates without driving potential clients away.

  • Dread over sitting down and wasting time (and energy) writing content that isn’t landing the way you hoped. 

  • That intuitive feeling that something in your business structure just isn’t right, but you aren’t sure what. 

  • The comparison game. As if everyone else is booked out with waiting lists while you're struggling to keep your head above water.

  • That little voice inside of you whispering, “you’re not ready,“you’re not good enough,” or “what you’re doing isn’t enough.” 

Business coaching for creative, heart-centred entrepreneurs tailored to your individual needs, obstacles, and goals 

It's time to silence that voice with high-touch support

1:1 mentorship makes it a lot easier to

Cultivate more inquiries from your kindred clients, a deeper connection with your community, and the increased revenue you’re seeking.

Confidently show up online because you’re certain of the value you offer and the impact you make.

Effectively create, launch, and sell the new services, products, or offers you're dreaming of.

Have more energy to do the creative work you’re actually passionate about while making an impactful difference for your clients. 

Finally, the individualized support you've dreamed of is here

Introducing, Strategic Brand Mentorship

SBM doesn't give you a 6-step, uniform plan. In the same way that no two businesses are the same or have the same struggles, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to effective marketing and business expansion.

That means there’s no set path you need to follow, no copy and paste questions to answer, and no rigid workbook to complete. 

what this program isn't

Strategic Brand Mentorship is about getting to the heart of your individual concerns and mind blocks, transforming your approach to marketing, and creating business structures that works for you and your goals. With 5-months of one-on-one strategy development and marketing implementation, you’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and individualized solutions to land your dream clients.


what this program is

"She has helped me evolve as a biz owner but also as a person. I'm booked out at least 2 months in advance! I'm finally hitting $5K + months consistently and soon to be $10K months. The leads I receive are aligned with the clients I want to work with. Discovery Calls are more a confirmation that we are a good fit than actually selling and praying they sign."

– Martine Cousineau Pouliot, Streamlined By Martine

"Working with Samara was a life changing experience!"

Hi there sweet friends, I’m Samara

Designer, strategist, musician, and heart-led entrepreneur with a passion for uplifting creatives and building impactful businesses that feel and do good.

My story looks similar to yours. 

When I began my design studio, I chased any hint of a lead and quoted a whopping $500 for custom websites to convince less-than-dreamy clients to hire me (spoiler, they didn’t)

It's clear my income wasn’t sustainable and didn’t match the value I provided. But something I was never short on?

Passion. Drive. A deep-seated love for what I do. 

Here’s the reality though: passion can only get you so far. I needed tailored support, sales skills, and tried-and-true tools to transform my budding business into a full-time income that fostered the life I wanted. 

Since restructuring my services and approach to marketing...

My design studio has gone from barely scraping by to consistently hitting high four-figure, five-figure, or multiple-five-figure months without diminishing my love of my creative work.  

I’ve learned to trust myself, step forward confidently, and value the skills I bring to the table.  I've been able to hire a team, invest in expanding my business, and fully pour my heart into serving my wonderful clients.

With Strategic Brand Mentorship, you can do the same. We’ll collaborate and combine your creative energy with my strategic expertise to effectively communicate your magic, connect with kindred clients, and achieve the revenue you know you’re capable of. 

I can't wait to meet you.

"Samara has a beautiful way of making your scattered thoughts cohesive and applicable to your brand - and always making you feel like your ideas WILL work. She's an integral part of my business and who I am showing up for it everyday." 

– Jessica Perissinotti, Fig & Maple

"Samara is everything we never knew we needed as entrepreneurs. "

What makes Strategic Brand Mentorship the transformative container for you?

Before investing in this 6 or 12-month brand & business coaching mentorship, we want to make sure it’s the right fit. 
Maybe you’re thinking:

“I’ve done all the courses and workshops, I’m tired of cookie-cutter curriculums.” 

I hear you! That’s exactly why Strategic Brand Mentorship doesn’t have standardized workbooks or curriculum. That’s not to say there isn’t any homework, content crafting, live-call work sessions, and heaps of self-reflection. But all the guidance is tailored specifically to you, your needs, and your vision.

“I’m struggling with writing social content, getting in front of my dream clients, gaining confidence to even start, or XX specific problem”

No problem! Before we even start working together, we’ll get clear on what you’re struggling with to make sure Strategic Brand Mentorship is the right solution. If it is, together we’ll craft a plan that is personalized to your problems and the goals you hope to achieve. Whether that means spending more time on the clarity and discovery phase or diving deep into strategic planning.



"I’m not even fully clear on my target audience or offers, there’s no way I’m ready for this.”

The best part about Strategic Brand Mentorship is I meet you where you are now in your creative entrepreneur journey. You don’t have to have it all figured out. So, what do you need before joining? A clear idea of what you’d like your creative business to look like, wholehearted determination to learn and create, and a willingness to implement and take action.

My previous clients have included artists, musicians, hair stylists, systems specialists, copywriters, jewellery designers, photographers, interior designers, florists, makeup artists, and other creative entrepreneurs.  If you consider yourself a heart- and soul-led empath who values personal connection, reflection, and growth, then we might be a perfect match.

Bring your questions, share your concerns, and take the time to do the internal and external work.  Overall, don’t be afraid to contact me with any thoughts you have. My favourite part of the mentorship is building a personal connection with you.

"Before joining Samara's coaching container, I was struggling with a few things in my business. Consistent income, confidently showing up online, and sticking to project boundaries. Now, my course launched to almost 2x as many students as I hoped for and I can't wait to relaunch it again. I'm booked out 2 months in advance and am hitting my monthly income goals. Posting online feels so much less stressful and I'm having great conversations with small business owners. Best of all, I feel like I'm building the life I want in terms of my personal time and business."
