About
Samantha is a curious, deep-feeling thinker working at the convergence of culture, embodiment, and relational being. With a receptive, reflective communication style, she has a passion for working with others to reimagine the complexities of human growth across personal, societal and multispecies systems.
She draws on embodied wisdom, emotional depth, and cultural insight. Dancing, writing, practising bodywork, and listening to nature, Samantha holds space for nuance, aliveness, and everyday transformation.
This site is a home for the threads that weave Samantha’s worldview as an Asian-Australian woman, sole parent, explorer of life and relating, and hands-on practitioner. Her work is grounded in somatic inquiry, affirmative ethics and the ever-emergent creative process.
Samantha often supports people in times of challenge, where falling apart, wildness, and vulnerability can be painful yet also signal meaningful transition and potential for change.

What are affirmative ethics?
Step 1: Clearly recognise what causes us pain, and map what we are ceasing to be.
Step 2: Allow these coordinates to guide us to create embodied, embedded, and collaborative practices that generate collective pleasure and joy.
‘One maps the negative to better detect the generative forces of affirmative becoming.’
Rosi Braidotti (2019).
