I recently had the pleasure of spending time with Samantha Shakira Clarke, a personal & corporate wellness professional. Samantha masterfully relates the nervous system to workplace stress and productivity. Her approach stands out as the most comprehensive and enlightening I've encountered in my 25 years of industry experience. If this resonates, and if you have the opportunity to engage with her, I recommend it
As a human who doesn’t do well with emotional regulation I was completely in awe of how Sammy managed to get me to reframe that mindset in such a short amount of time. Her eloquent spoken words, and her incredibly deep and profound comprehension of the nervous system made it so easy to understand her methods and all that she was trying to get across in such an easy to digest way. Literally everyone should see her if they want to make positive changes to their understanding and as a result their lives in general! 😊🙏
Sammy has spoken to many of our CEO and Executive Peer Groups and is one of our top-rated speakers. She takes the concept of mindfulness and somatic experience and makes it accessible to all. In our world today, leaders need to be thinking about their own wellbeing and that of their people... Sammy gives practical tools and takeaways that demystify mindfulness and helps leaders better manage themselves (particularly in times of high stress). We at High Impact Lab are big fans of Samantha Clarke!!
I have attended mindfulness and movement sessions with Sammy at Fasken, a corporate law firm. I have also attended her yoga classes at Equinox and have a private yoga session with her at her private studio. Sammy is the absolute best teacher for yoga, mindfulness, movement and meditation. Her classes are well designed, she connects on an individual level with her clients, she is sincere and passionate, and she provides articulate explanations rooted in research to understand the nervous system (which helps with stress management). I highly recommend businesses hiring Sammy to provide in-house sessions to assist their employees to develop strategies and exercises to manage stress and wellbeing.

“Sammy conducted mindfulness sessions with a team of professionals who help children deal with some of the ugliest things life has to offer. Her ability to connect with our team, and strike the perfect balance between theoretical vs practical was second-to-none. After one of Sammy’s 30-minute sessions, there was a noticeable energy shift in the space. There is something healing and powerful about going through a shared mindfulness exercise with colleagues. Sammy drew on her expertise to leverage the experience to bring out the best in all of us. Going back to my desk afterwards, I personally felt calmer and more focused–re-charged for the afternoon’s tasks. Her tips are highly practical and easy to implement at any time to deal with life’s challenges. Life always has a way of working out perfectly, and hiring Sammy to work with our team definitely reinforced this belief. She was the perfect fit for our team.”
I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Samantha Clarke for her incredible wellness sessions. Her guidance and expertise in promoting mindfulness have truly made a positive impact on our well-being. Samantha’s sessions on wellness and mindfulness were both enlightening and inspiring. Her insights on the power of mindfulness in our fast-paced world were invaluable.
The benefits of incorporating mindfulness into our daily routines cannot be overstated. Samantha’s sessions served as a powerful reminder to prioritize self-care and create a culture of wellness in our professional lives. Her teachings will undoubtedly continue to resonate and positively influence our personal and professional journeys.
Once again, thank you, Samantha Clarke, for sharing your knowledge and passion for wellness with us. Your dedication to promoting well-being is truly commendable, and we are grateful for the positive impact you have made.
Samantha was the keynote speaker for my MacKay CEO Peer Group Annual Retreat in Whistler, BC. I chair a Forum with 12 CEO’s all leading high growth businesses, and faced with an ever increasing list of critical deadlines. Our goal is to help each other be the most inspiring leaders we can be. Post pandemic, we kept hearing the benefits of mindfulness. It intrigued us but still sounded a bit of a soft science for our rational brains.
Enter Samantha. She led us through a science based discovery of how our brain and body are interconnected. How we react in one of 3 ways to external challenges. And then she segued into the practice of mindfulness, to enable us to stay on the curious, and positive side of human behaviour, and then to use that capability to lift the experience of those we live and work with.
We left feeling inspired, and more capable of being mindful, empathetic and open, so we all can contribute to better experiences for ourselves, and those we connect with. Samantha – thanks for the positive impact you have provided all of us!
I've invited Sammy to speak at two of my Executive Peer Groups and she is amazing. Her topic is mindfulness and she makes it practical and real by sharing her own stories, her wisdom and her experience. One of the most engaging speakers I've seen in a while.
Sammy’s story is so compelling and told so thoughtfully that she captures the attendees minds and hearts instantly. She’s a true expert in her field and consistently receives top feedback from our clients. She is able to lead attendees through practices in a way that is genuine, not pretentious, and for that reason is incredibly effective. She’s also never stagnant and always growing in her training, her skillset, and her speaking. It’s truly a gift to see Sammy share her story and her expertise with others.
Very knowledgeable about the topics and the topics were very practical to the the work we do,It was a lovely presentation, very well done, Thank-you! I appreciated all of it, and found your presence calming. The Presence Practices helped me understand the exercises and make mindfulness a bit more concrete. I could have sat in this workshop for the whole day and dug a bit deeper in learning how to set the tools in my life. (I also really enjoyed the Boundary section.)
Sammy delivered two fantastic sessions on Mindfulness and the Nervous System at my recent Mackay CEO Forums retreat! The sessions were interactive, practical, rooted in science, and engaging. My members and their partners were engaged and commented on how powerful the session was. I highly recommend Sammy for any group or individual needs regarding Mindfulness.
I really appreciate you sharing your story. It showed me there is always hope and that no matter what once was we can always grow/evolve and turn our past into a powerful thing. You are a wonderful facilitator! Engaging. Skillful using the time. Also loved your voice and your calming presence.
Corporate wellness is a strategic investment in the mental, emotional, and physical well being of your workforce. It goes beyond perks and programs to create an environment where people can perform at their best without sacrificing their health. True corporate wellness supports both the individual and the collective, fostering a culture that values sustainability, connection, and resilience.
Employee wellness often focuses on the individual, offering resources like health benefits, gym memberships, or mental health support. Corporate wellness takes a wider view, integrating well being into the fabric of the organisation. It considers leadership, culture, communication, and systems, ensuring that wellness is not an afterthought but part of how the company operates.
When done well, yes. The most effective programs are not one off events but ongoing initiatives that address real needs. They combine evidence based practices with cultural alignment, so employees feel supported and leadership sees measurable impact. Research consistently shows that well designed wellness programs can improve engagement, reduce burnout, and strengthen retention.
Begin by understanding the needs of your people. This can be done through surveys, conversations, or reviewing existing HR data. From there, create a plan that balances quick wins with long term strategies, and ensure leadership is actively involved. Successful programs meet people where they are, offer practical tools, and are embedded into company culture rather than bolted on.
Individual coaching can be invaluable when a team member is navigating challenges that require privacy, focused attention, or a tailored approach. This might include leaders developing their emotional intelligence, employees stepping into new roles, or individuals experiencing high stress or burnout. While group sessions build shared skills and culture, one on one coaching allows for deeper exploration, targeted strategies, and personal accountability. It is especially effective when someone’s growth can directly influence the performance and wellbeing of the wider team.
Costs vary depending on the scope, frequency, and type of program. Some organisations start with quarterly workshops, while others implement year round initiatives that include ongoing coaching, training, and measurement. The right investment is the one that meets your people’s needs and aligns with your organisational goals.
An employee wellness program provides resources and activities designed to support the health and well being of individual employees. These may include mindfulness sessions, stress management workshops, fitness challenges, or access to mental health resources. While valuable, these programs are most effective when integrated into a larger corporate wellness strategy.
Any organisation that wants to improve performance, reduce turnover, and build a healthier workplace culture can benefit. This includes teams experiencing high stress, rapid growth, cultural change, or leadership transitions. Wellbeing at work supports everyone, from new hires to senior executives, because healthy individuals build stronger teams, and stronger teams build stronger businesses.
For individuals, wellness at work reduces stress, improves focus, and increases job satisfaction. For teams, it fosters trust, communication, and collaboration. For organisations, it protects culture, reduces absenteeism, and boosts performance. In today’s climate, supporting well being is not just good for people, it is essential for business sustainability.
Measurement depends on the goals you set. Common indicators include employee engagement scores, retention rates, absenteeism, and feedback surveys. Qualitative insights, such as improved communication, team cohesion, or psychological safety, are equally valuable. The most meaningful measures combine both data and lived experience, showing the human and business impact side by side.
