About Sammy
Hi, I’m Sammy and I am the Founder of Riverlea Wellness Retreat. I am a Holistic Hormone Health Practitioner, Reiki & Energy Worker, Womb and Fertility Healer, Massage Therapist, Sound Healer and Women’s Retreat Facilitator and I nurture, nourish, and heal women at my property in Malanda who are feeling stressed, exhausted, dealing with grief and loss, struggling with infertility and hormonal imbalances, and for women wanting transformational healing, reconnection to their true self, their heart and sacred womb centres.
My own life journey of grief, loss, infertility, trauma, and depression has led me on this path, the path of inner healing, and helping women who are also struggling with life’s unexpected events. I want to be the person and holistic healer that I never had through my toughest times. Five years ago, my best friend died in a horrific accident. Six weeks later my husband’s fishing vessel capsized, 6 crew were lost to the sea and he survived. His survival was not easy, but our love and connection kept him swimming, breathing, fighting. What followed these events was years of grief, heartache, infertility struggles, loss of babies, loss of our closest loved ones, depression, and more trauma. I am incredible grateful for my life lived so far, as this was part of my journey to be the person I am today.
I was born and raised in Cairns, I lived and travelled the world working on Super Yachts, I was a successful DJ for over 15 years, I have worked in many industries, but now, I am settled in the most beautiful part of the world, Malanda. With my husband, two daughters, my mother and father, our two dogs and ten chickens, our life is magical!
About Riverlea
Riverlea Wellness Retreat is in Malanda, Far North Queensland on 4 acres of land surrounded by beautiful rainforest and the Johnston River and where the land has a very special spiritual feel and vibration which is welcoming, energising and helps you feel grounded and connected to nature. It is home to Tree Kangaroos, platypus, turtles, Kookaburras and many more varieties of birds. Sammy’s one-on-on treatment room overlooks the river, while inside it is a calming, safe space for her to nurture, nourish and heal you through your treatment.
The Day Retreat space is just as welcoming, on a large deck which overlooks the property, pool, chickens, and river. The gentle breeze flows through, clearing stagnant energy, calming the space for the work and healing that takes place. The attention to detail and level of standard is high class and finely tuned.
