I help imperfect people doing the work—one page at a time.
There was a time when I didn’t feel safe in my own body. My legs wouldn’t stop shaking, my thoughts were racing, and fear gripped me so tightly I truly believed I wouldn’t make it to see another day.
Anxiety had taken hold of my mind, it spiralled into panic attacks, and my body followed. Eventually leaving me unable to walk far or stand for long. At one point, I was basically bed-ridden—just getting myself to the bathroom was all I could manage. Doctors gave me a name for it—Myoclonus—but no answers.
Back then, therapy wasn’t an option in my world. In the Black community, talking about mental health felt like airing dirty laundry. But I knew I had to find a way to heal. So, I turned to what I’ve loved since I was five years old— books. I devoured everything I could find on the mind-body connection, healing trauma, and finding peace. I journaled relentlessly. I practiced CBT, affirmations, yoga, Tai Chi. And slowly, I found my way back to myself.
That journey has become the foundation of my work. I no longer offer coaching, but I pour everything I’ve lived and learned into self-development journals created especially for people who are often overlooked in mainstream wellness spaces.
I design practical journals and gentle guides for real life: from exploring your relationship with beauty, to unpacking anxiety and trauma,
to helping parents stay grounded. My pages are simple on purpose—so you can breathe, reflect, and take your next small step.
This sanctuary is expanding. My blog goes deeper—into the layers that shape how we see ourselves and each other. I’m not here to preach perfection.
I’ve lived the messiness, the fear, the silence. I don’t believe in perfect people. I believe in people who are committed to growing.
Welcome to Samanthia’s Sanctuary: a space to be yourself, love yourself, and live fearlessly.
I hope you find what you need here.
