Specializing in wellness implementation in meetings & events, and financial health. Multi-certified/ licensed. SamTalia is by Samantha Marie, a choreographer who began her journey of holistic well-being after struggling with depression and anxiety for several years, then had a string of heart and other health issues snowballing on top of it. Through studying nutrition and mind-body connection, she

was able to discontinue all prescription medications and become physically active once more. Not wanting to see others go through the trouble she did alone, she obtained her Personal Trainer and Nutritionist Certifications in 2013 to help others in their journey of health and happiness. In 2014 the Natural Beauty and Body Blog was launched with workouts, nutrition tips, and product reviews in health and beauty. 2015 brought Natural Solutions from DoTerra essential oils into the newly formed SamTalia which encompassed fitness, nutrition, and natural health alternatives. In recent years Samantha has began speaking out raising awareness on normalizing mental and emotional wellness, sharing from her personal experiences and developing inclusive platforms for people and companies to feel safe and comfortable addressing these issues we all face. She's continued educational certifications to support this cause, including becoming a Certified Holistic Life Coach, Fitness Nutritionist, and Corporate Wellness Coach. SamTalia is the wellness branch of OmniEra, implementing holistic well-being practices specializing in events and the hospitality industry.

52 Things to Do or Try — and this might be the most fun one yet. Today's tool? Funny movies and TV.
Yes, really. This is 100% legitimate self-care and I will die on this hill. 😄💙

Laughter releases endorphins, reduces stress hormones, and gives your nervous system an actual reset. When life feels heavy, your brain needs a break from the weight - and a genuine, ugly laugh is one of the fastest ways to get there.

I'm talking about the kind of funny that gets you every single time no matter how many times you've seen it. For me that's a good standup special, Big Bang Theory (Bazinga! 🤓), Friends on a rough night, or honestly an old classic like American Pie when I need something completely ridiculous.

Here's your assignment: make a list right now of the things that always make you laugh. Keep it somewhere easy to find for when you really need it - because when you're in a dark or overwhelmed place, decision fatigue is real and you don't want to be scrolling for 20 minutes trying to find something.

Don't you dare feel guilty about "wasting time" watching TV when you're struggling. If it helps you feel even a little lighter, it's not a waste. It's medicine.

--> 💡Your mental health matters more than your to-do list. 🛠️💙

Six years after this trip was supposed to happen, I finally made it to Portugal. 🇵🇹

I went in for the wine and culture and left with a full notebook of travel ideas I can't wait to share with everyone!

Lisbon had me hunting down all the best views from an arch to a hilltop castle and a sunset cruise, and uncovering the best food in the city (ask a local guide, they always know).
Madeira surprised me with cliffside hikes and a 200-year-old wine lodge I'd send any group to in a heartbeat.
And wow - the Douro Valley? A day trip so good I'm still mentally replaying the views and tastings. Terraced vineyards, free-flowing wine, a river cruise - I get why people build entire trips around this valley alone.

Full recap is live on the blog - link in bio!😊 📖🍷

If you're dreaming up a group trip, a retreat, or an incentive program and Portugal just made your list... let's chat! I'd love to help you build it. ✨

It's ! Here's this week's tip:
Start Small, Dream Big
Myth: "I can't afford saving on a hospitality salary."
Truth: You can't afford NOT to start building your financial future.
⏰
I get it. Between rent, bills, and trying to have ANY kind of life, adding another expense seems impossible.

But what if I told you:
✨ Premiums can be surprisingly affordable
✨ Even small amounts grow into real wealth over time
✨ Your cash value is accessible when you NEED it
✨ It grows tax-free (yes, really!)

You're already likely working multiple jobs, double shifts, putting up with difficult customers. You deserve a financial tool that actually WORKS for you.

This isn't about pressure, it's about possibility. Let's explore what fits YOUR life and YOUR goals.

Free consultation, zero judgment. I've worked in service—I get it. Let's talk real numbers for your real life!

Ahh... Wellness travel...
Full disclosure: you will never catch me at a 7am class. Anyone who knows me in this industry knows I am not a morning person, full stop.
😅
But I get it. At some point that 7am class stops being a commitment and starts being the highlight of your week, and the people on the reformers next to you become your people.
If that's you, it might be time to take the practice somewhere with a view.

Four properties I'd send that group to:
🇹🇭 Chiva-Som, Hua Hin — a full Pilates studio inside one of the most established wellness resorts on the planet, right on the Thailand coast.
🇮🇩 COMO Shambhala Estate, Bali — jungle, river, and private Pilates sessions woven into every wellness programme.
🇫🇷 Lily of the Valley, French Riviera — Philippe Starck design, a dedicated Reformer Pilates studio, and Mediterranean views that make burpees feel almost fair.
🇺🇸 Woodstock Inn & Resort, Vermont — a proper reformer studio inside a classic New England resort, if your crew wants charm with their core work.

I'll handle the group contracts, rate negotiations, and logistics so your studio crew can just show up. Which one is calling your name? 👇

🌿52 Things to Do or Try continues..
This one is genuinely one of my favorites - I use this nearly every day.

We talked about essential oils topically last week, but today we're going deeper into aromatherapy, because your nose is doing way more than you think.
💙
Your sense of smell is directly wired to your limbic system — the emotional center of your brain. This is why a certain scent can instantly take you back to a memory, or shift your entire mood in seconds. That's not magic, that's biology — and we can absolutely use it to our advantage!

For anxiety, my personal go-tos are Cypress and doTERRA's Balance blend - grounding, calming, and genuinely effective for me.
When I need to wake up and focus, citrus and mint blends are everything.
And doTERRA's line of emotional support blends? I cannot get enough of them — there's something for almost every emotional state you can think of.

A few popular scent pairings to try based on what you need:
🌸 Calm & sleep — lavender, chamomile, bergamot
⚡ Energy & focus — peppermint, rosemary, lemon
🌍 Grounding — frankincense, sandalwood, cedarwood
☀️ Mood lift — wild orange, grapefruit, citrus blends

You don't need a fancy setup either. A diffuser, a rollerball in your bag, a few drops on a tissue — that's it. Keep it simple and use it often.😊

One more tool for the toolbox! 🛠️💙

You're building a business. But are you building WEALTH? They're not the same.
🏗️
TYPE 1: Business Equity The value IN your company. Important, but illiquid and risky if it's your ONLY wealth.
TYPE 2: Personal Assets - Cash, investments, real estate OUTSIDE your business. This is your safety net and retirement plan.
TYPE 3: Protected Wealth - Life insurance, disability coverage, estate planning. The stuff nobody wants to think about but everyone needs.

Most entrepreneurs are crushing Type 1 but ignoring Types 2 & 3.
Diversification isn't just for your menu—it's for your money.
💚
Which type of wealth are you focused on right now? Be honest.

Anyone else searching for a yoga retreat lately?
🧘
If your conversation has shifted from the next class to the next trip, I wouldn't send you to the obvious yoga retreat center.

Four I've pulled instead, one for each corner of the world:
🇮🇩 NIHI Sumba, Indonesia — a cliffside yoga pavilion over Nihiwatu Beach, plus horseback rides and a spa safari for everything in between practices.
🇧🇹 Amankora, Bhutan — five lodges across sacred valleys, sunrise yoga and breathwork, and a hike to Tiger's Nest that changes people.
🇨🇦 Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, British Columbia — a waterfront yoga studio deep in 600 acres of old-growth rainforest. Whales and bears, no wifi required.
🇺🇸 Sensei Porcupine Creek, California — a private Rancho Mirage estate, dedicated yoga pavilions, and Nobu on-site for the group that wants total seclusion.

I'll handle the group contracts, rate negotiations, and logistics so your group can just show up and practice.
Which one is calling your name? 🙂

52 Things to Do or Try series continues!
🍃
I've been using essential oils consistently for 13 years and have been a doTERRA wellness advocate for almost as long.
I talk about oils nearly every time I speak on holistic wellbeing, and I've done full educational sessions on them.
Oils are in my toolkit for ALL kinds of things — so let's talk topical use today.
💙
What you put ON your body matters as much as what you put IN it. Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts, and when applied topically — often diluted in a carrier oil like coconut, jojoba, or fractionated coconut oil — they can do some seriously impressive things.

Some of my personal favorites in action:
💜Lavender is my go-to for skin irritations. I once had a mystery rash on my chest, saw a doctor, got a cortisol cream with a warning label as long as my arm... and doTERRA lavender worked just as well. Also incredible for itchy bug bites.
🤎Frankincense helped me get rid of a keloid on my ear from a piercing that never healed properly.
💚Oregano diluted in fractionated coconut oil, rubbed into the bottoms of my feet when I'm sick - don't sleep on this one. 🌿

A few ground rules:
Dilute (1–2 drops per teaspoon of carrier oil), do a patch test first, and make sure you're using PURE therapeutic-grade oils — not synthetic fragrances.
Some oils are photosensitive, so do your research before heading out in the sun.

Pulse points, bottoms of your feet, or directly on the area of concern — oils meet you where you are.
🛠️💙
