My experience was nothing short of amazing.

I was in search of cleansing, healing and releasing. When I came across Samantha’s retreat online, I was instantly drawn to her. I spoke with her over the phone, email and text! Her communication was excellent! Her healing words and patience were all needed to solidify my need to take this experience.

Samantha was very welcoming, supportive and kind!

I wrote down questions to ask her to understand my journey and the things I experienced. Before I could ask her, through our talks and activities she answered all the questions without knowing what I had on my mind. That’s a true gift of a healer!!

There is so much I could share, but it’s my experience personal to me! You will just need to book her and create your own experience!!

Thank you Samantha for your service and support! The World Needs You!

Samantha healed my soul and saved my career

I was in a Dark Night of My Soul. After 25 years of growing a non-profit, I was burnt out. I did not know who I was any longer. Where was my spark? Where did my inner power go?

In early January, I was in such a bleak place that I stayed in a chair in a corner of my house for 5 days. I thought about leaving my beloved non-profit. After all, if I had lost my spark and inner power, how could I continue to serve?

Thank you to a loving and nurturing family, unconditionally supportive co-leaders, and a very understanding board, I took 10 days to rest and recharge.

Now what? How was I going to heal? These 10 days needed to count. A retreat would be a good jump start.

Google helped me find Samantha’s 3-Day Empowerment: SOLO Beachside Retreat. I researched hundreds of retreats, but kept coming back to Samantha.

These were the words on her site (BookRetreats.com) that really drew me in: “Casual yet profound, you’ll leave grounded, full of lightness, and bubbling over with renewed inspiration. This retreat is for the individual who wants to leave nothing in life on the table!”

Yes, that’s exactly it! I wanted to feel lightness again and was ready to work for it.

First, I needed to know more about Samantha. I read over her website and was impressed with her knowledge, passion, and experience. Then, I wanted to “see” her in action, so I watched her YouTube videos. This woman drew me in! I felt like she was talking directly to my concerns. Finally, I downloaded her book, The Sunset on Malibu. I loved, loved her vulnerability in sharing her story (plus, she’s a fine writer). Yes, if Samantha could put all of herself out there, I could be honest and transparent with her, too.

Highly recommend!

This grief retreat was exactly what I needed after the tragic passing of my partner. Samantha was so incredibly helpful!

Mariana

When a trip feels so organic and natural to a person who feels devastated inside, something magical happens.

The main part of this magical journey was the retreat with Samantha.

I returned home feeling different and, for the first time in a long time, I enjoyed going back home.

Part of that change that I felt and still feel had to do with Samantha’s intuition and experience to help me go through an intense and precise path so that my soul could feel a little lighter. I didn’t know what I was looking for until I was in front of Samantha, but when I was in front of her I knew it very clearly. Feel lighter.

On a day when it was very difficult for me to smile, I was able to smile almost at the end of the day. Thank you Samantha for all your magic.

I’ve been working with Samantha to heal some wounded feminine energy and I’m so grateful to have found her. She provides excellent communication that has helped me tremendously.

The retreat, and Samantha, helped me to realize that I am worth caring about. That just because your life looks like it just fell apart, there is a reason for everything. Sometimes you have to go through darkness to find the light.

I needed to take a retreat because I am divorcing my wife of 10 years. Stressed out big time! I realized that I needed help to try to get my head straight. I asked the universe to help me make sense of everything and it led me to Bookretreats and Samantha Darling. She took care of everything from lodging to getting me on the path of healing my inside light.

Samantha Darling put me on my healing journey. Beautiful lady, inside and out.

I feel so grounded and inspired! I am looking forward to many more sessions with Samantha, she’s a beautiful human I am grateful to have crossed paths with. I bought both of her books, I can’t wait to dive in and be the author of my own story too.

I would recommend anyone who is looking for focus and the next steps in life. I was looking for a little more direction in my life.Samantha was excellent in guiding me, she is a very warm person and genuinely wants to help other people to thrive.I had an excellent workshop with her.

Andrea

Samantha immediately invited me to open up and let out the emotion I was experiencing around my struggles. She willingly and empathetically offered support, through listening, a tarot reading, and a cacao ceremony. She led me through powerful rituals that really helped me to gain new perspectives on my life, and find ease during a difficult time. When we talk, she tunes in through connection to Spirit to decipher what tools to use for the specific situation I’m coming to her with.

I love the variety of (re)sources she has to offer. I trust her with knowing what to use and when, and I trust her very poignant interpretation of these tools as they apply to my life. I always feel in greater alignment after I’ve spoken with Samantha, and filled with new exciting ways to process my life and the world around me.

I know her guidance comes from a place of genuine care to heal through love. I know that I’m leading my life from a more awakened, conscious self now thanks to Samantha.

Samantha lifted the veil. She helped me find the power inside of myself that I had been ignoring. I finally gave myself permission to say “yes” to everything the universe was offering and my life is forever changed!

To whoever may read this, there is a reason you were led to Samantha, she is an incredible healer.

This is a great retreat. Truly understand yourself! I felt stuck in my life and I wanted to know how to listen to myself more as opposed to the outside world. The one on one was important. It was catered to me and the whole process was dedicated to my specific needs. I have a way to discern things things and ideas for my highest and best expression of myself.

Samantha gives a step-by-step breakdown of how to break out of whatever challenges you are facing. I found it very engaging and I received a step-by-step approach to apply to resolve any issues I have or will face.

I felt really understood and even developed a great understanding of myself.
