About Me

My Journey So Far:

Hi, I’m Sam

And I know what it’s like to have everything you thought you wanted, but still feel like something’s missing.

I’m a personal trainer, yoga and Pilates teacher, coach, author and firm believer that there’s more to life than simply getting through it.

But I didn’t always feel that way.

How I got here

On paper, my life looked pretty good. A lovely home, an amazing husband, wonderful children. All the things I thought were supposed to make me happy.

Except I wasn’t particularly happy.

I was overwhelmed, exhausted and drinking far too much wine to switch my brain off. In June 2023, I stopped drinking and started practising yoga every day. It turned out to be the beginning of a completely different life.

Then came grief, perimenopause, an ADHD diagnosis and a fairly spectacular rethink of everything I thought I knew about myself.

Somewhere along the way, I became a yoga teacher, discovered Pilates, fell in love with lifting weights, started running, wrote a book and found myself building a career I genuinely love.

Not exactly the midlife plan I’d had in mind.

Why More to Life?

Because I discovered that feeling better isn’t about squeezing another impossible routine into an already busy life.

It’s about finding what works for you. Moving your body because it feels good. Getting stronger because you want to enjoy your life. Understanding yourself a little better, letting go of some of the expectations and making room for things that actually make you happy.

And occasionally doing something you never imagined you could.

That’s what More to Life is about.

Whether we’re working together through personal training, yoga, Pilates or coaching, my approach is practical, personal and firmly rooted in real life.

No perfection required. No complete personality overhaul. And absolutely no need to become one of those people who enjoys getting up at 5 a.m.

There’s more to life. Let me help you find it.
