Welcome to
The Samantha Spark
Are you experiencing anxiety, have habits you want to break, or feel stuck in life? Our thoughts tell big stories of who we are and about our experiences in life – unfortunately, that’s hard for us to see.
As your coach, I can show you how things are already always working in your favor and be the spark to ignite profound change in you.
My Story
Samantha Miller
Certified Change Coach
I spent a long time believing the thoughts my mind was telling me, leading to decades of rumination, anxiety, and the sense that something was wrong with me. I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) at the age of 19 and continually searched for techniques that would help relieve my intrusive thoughts, depression, and anguish.
Participating in Dr. Amy Johnson's Change Coach training I finally began to see the “OK-ness” of life - and me - in a way I hadn’t seen before. Since then, I have found a calmness of mind and insight that I couldn’t find in my library of self-help books, medication, or other "feel good" strategies. I would be crazy not to share this understanding with others!
Finding my true calling as a change coach, I now guide others to see their "stuckness" in a new way & experience the same peace of mind I have. The program married my passion for teaching and helping others with my personal interest in finding mental peace.
Growing up, I constantly heard others tell me, “It’s all in your head,” “You think too much” or “You’re overanalyzing the situation” – statements that fell flat with me. Today, I actually see the deeper meaning of these statements and my mission is to help others see the truth beyond their simplicity.
Samantha is a skilled coach with a deep understanding of where peace – and suffering – come from. She meets her clients with compassion and understanding, as well as practicality and humor. She has a keen ability to spot the limiting beliefs that cause suffering and point her clients back to their default state of peace and wellbeing. Samantha’s own freedom around anxiety and obsessive thoughts is a huge benefit to those she works with. She knows what it’s like to feel trapped in painful thoughts and feelings and she knows the insights that allow one to be free. Samantha has been through the Change Coach Certification program twice, the second time serving as a mentor coach and guide. She has my absolute trust and highest recommendation!

Working Together
Our work together involves helping ignite the spark of understanding that at our essence we are full of health, clarity, love, and wisdom AND that the waters have been muddied by our thoughts. I believe that all people are fundamentally healthy - we just lose track of this and innocently believe our mind's narrative and let our feelings guide us to "fixing" our problem. What if there was nothing to fix? I can help guide you to become aware of the part in you that never changes, and recognize that which is always changing.
Contact me for a free discovery call to discuss what is holding you back and where you'd like to find more freedom. Although I work with a wide variety of issues and concerns that individuals have, here are a few of my specialities:
Anxiety
Intrusive thoughts? OCD? Worry a little too much? Whatever your flavor of anxiety is, I’ve been there. If you are living more in your head than in your life, there is hope in seeing thoughts for what they are. Let's turn the volume of your mind’s chatter down and your inner peace up.
“Over-ing”
Spending all day scrolling on social media? Can’t control your eating? Can't seem to stop working? Trying to stop a time-consuming habit can be frustrating. What if stopping wasn’t about willpower or the right technique? What if you were habit-free right now? I can show you how.
Feeling Stuck
Are you unhappy in your job or waiting for something to turn your life around? Life may not hit you with a lightning bolt of inspiration every time, but we can stop putting so much pressure on ourselves or other things to make life “right.” Feeling stuck can be exactly the wake-up call you need to becoming un-stuck.
Pain
Do you suffer from migraine or tension headaches? Do you feel like pain is ruining your life? So many of us innocently make our pain more painful - the opposite of what we want. Together let's explore what happens when we don't see pain as the enemy, but as a gift.

Naomi
"In my sessions with Samantha I gained a deeper understanding that the answers to my 'issues' were inside me. I came to understand that I put a lot of conditions on my happiness and what made me happy. After speaking with Samantha, there was a release and a peace…and I felt liberated from my anxiety. I don’t know what happened in my mind, but there came an awareness that anxiety was of my own making. I realized I was in a habit and that habit kept the symptoms going, and that it didn’t need to be like that anymore.
I realized I was lucky to have landed with a very exceptional coach. I would easily recommend Samantha to other people. She truly is very good at this!”
Trina
"Samantha Miller is an amazing coach! I have read every book and listened to every podcast available but things really started clicking when I started coaching calls with Samantha.
She has such an easy way about her. A lot of people that I listen to who have written books or have podcasts made me feel like the stuff they talked about was so easy for them and unattainable for me.
Samantha just told me that I was OK. That I was seeing things but didn't see that I was. She helped me see what I was doing right and her belief in me helped me to believe in myself. I highly recommend Samantha."
Jitka
"Time spent with Samantha was precious for me. Conversations with her are deep and her presence makes you feel relaxed. She leads you to your own wisdom that you already have within you. We talked about the way we see life and all of a sudden I realized I no longer desire to have a cigarette. I cannot describe exactly what happened but I have slowed down the speed of my life. Thanks to her direct questions she helped me to hear my own answers.
During our time she pointed me to something bigger and wiser we can always rely on in life. She is a great coach and listener. She really listens to you and thanks to that you can hear yourself."
