Root & Return Coaching

Coaching Sessions

  • A short, no-pressure space to connect and explore whether us working together feels like the right fit.

    There’s no expectation to commit to anything afterward. This call is simply an opportunity to connect, get oriented, and see what feels supportive for you.

    $0

  • A one-time session for when you want space to talk something through, make sense of what’s coming up, or get oriented to a particular situation.

    Some people use single sessions occasionally, while others return as needed over time. There’s no expectation of ongoing work—this option is here for flexibility and autonomy.

    $90

  • A short-term space to stay with something over time.

    We meet for four sessions (typically over 4–6 weeks), allowing a bit more continuity than a single session. This can support slowing down, noticing patterns, and working with what emerges across sessions rather than starting fresh each time.

    $330

  • There are a limited number of single session sliding scale spots to support different levels of financial access.

    If cost is a barrier, you’re welcome to choose a rate within the sliding scale that reflects your current circumstances. No explanation is required.

    $50-$80

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a collaborative partnership that, when honoured and cultivated with care, helps you move from where you are to where you want to be.

Ask yourself:

What if change didn't require pushing harder, but understanding deeper?

What if the next step wasn't about fixing yourself, but returning to yourself?

What might happen if you gave yourself permission to be supported?

By seeking clarity, seeing life through new perspectives, discovering your choices, planning to take action, and leaning into accountability, coaching can lead to change.

Root & Return offers coaching as a space to ground in where you are, make sense of what’s present, and find your way forward that feels aligned and sustainable.

Wondering if coaching is right for you? Book a free 20-minute Discovery Call—no pressure, just space to ask questions.

Welcome. I’m Sam (they/them), an ICF trained coach and student counsellor. I’m a neurodivergent, trans non-binary Indigiqueer person living, playing and working as an uninvited guest on the traditional, unceded territory of the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations, the stewards and caretakers of these lands and waters for time immemorial.

I come to this work with the understanding that people make sense in context. What you carry, how you respond, and the ways you’ve learned to get through are shaped by the conditions you’ve lived in—like roots growing in specific soil.

My practice is rooted in an anti-oppression, somatic awareness, and a commitment to working in ways that don’t reduce you to an individual problem to fix. Instead, together we pay attention to your patterns and histories, and the environments that have shaped them.

Welcome, and thank you for being here.
