Book IWD Speaker: Samantha Perry

I’m Sam Perry, a public speaker, women’s wellness coach and founder of Warrior Queen Wellness.

My work helps women who feel overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck in survival mode begin to reclaim their power, peace and purpose.

My talk, “The Burnout Behind the Brave Face,” is rooted in my own story.

I’ve lived through addiction and prison, the sudden loss of my husband when I was 36 weeks pregnant, and the challenges of raising a son with additional needs while trying to rebuild my life.

After years of carrying on and appearing strong, I began to understand the cost of survival mode and what it can take to find a way back to yourself.

I now bring together my lived experience and my work in women’s wellbeing.

As a wellness coach, Reiki Master Teacher, IMSI guide and sound practitioner, I support women through practical, compassionate approaches that help them pause, reconnect with themselves and recognise the patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

My speaking style is honest, warm and hopeful.

I make space for the realities many women hide behind a brave face: burnout, grief, pressure, caring responsibilities and the feeling that they have to manage everything alone.

I share my story without pretending there is a quick fix, and offer audiences a message of possibility, self-understanding and small steps towards change.

I first shared “The Burnout Behind the Brave Face” at the Turning Point Summit.

I also speak from my experience of guiding women through the Warrior Queen Journey, a 12-week programme focused on calming the body, understanding patterns and beginning to reconnect with themselves.

I’d be a valuable speaker for International Women’s Day events exploring women’s wellbeing, burnout, resilience, addiction and recovery, grief, caregiving, nervous system support and personal growth.

My aim is for women to feel seen, recognise that they are more than what they have survived, and leave with a renewed sense that they can reclaim their power, peace and purpose.
