Mind Body Spirit Women’s Coaching & Healing Retreat owner and coach Sam Okam says, “I started this business because I experienced firsthand what it was like to feel stuck, disorganized, and having a million things to do and not knowing how or where to start as I was having my four children. Before having kids, I had it altogether, but during and after, I really needed help. I could have used a coach like myself to help with time management, organization, meal planning, health and wellness, and strategizing. There is a wealth of information out there, but busy people don’t have the time to do research and implement and be mommy and wifey. This is where I come in to provide the roadmap.”

Clients can find the right coaching program, support and accountability to form new habits that will change their lives. “I like for clients to imagine themselves on one side of a murky river, and there are 20 stones to get to the other side of that river where everything they want—that improved version of themself—is on the other side of the river. I help them cross that river step by step at a comfortable but steady pace. They will look back and be amazed at how far they’ve come so fast!” advises Okam. She helps women in all the major areas that contribute to stress in their lives simultaneously in the privacy of their own home and keeps them motivated without being judged.

The ICF-certified life and health coach is a graduate of the University of Florida MBA program and Virginia Commonwealth University finance program, so she can help clients with simple budgeting, improving their credit scores and other basic finance issues. Her blog, AFranticMom.com, includes a menu planner and a How to Clean Any Room in Record Time packet.
