Hi, I'm Samara Bortz
In 2019, I quit a teaching job to take my side gig full-time. Since then, I've scaled multiple creative businesses to multiple six-figures by blending intuitive guidance with tried-and-true strategy.
My magic is helping you step into your power, pivot with grace, deepen your intuition, claim your space as an industry leader, and build a sustainable (wildly profitable) business that supports the most feel-good version of your life.

"If you want a coach who actually knows what they're doing without the salesy pressure, Samara is your girl."
–Tiffany Chang, Business Coach
Tiffany scaled to six-figures within a year
"Samara helped me with the smoothest business pivot that I could have ever imagined. She helped me solidify my genius and from there, my business 4x'd at the end of our time together."
"Working with Samara is game-changing."
— Kerys Alexandra, Photography VA
kerys replaced her 9-5 income within 4 months
"She is someone who doesn't tell you what to do, but really helps guide you so that you are creating a business that is authentic to you. I went from being too scared to leave my 9-5 to working in my business full-time with an offer suite that has let me have a 'slow season' while still paying myself. I have work-life balance and the clients I'm working with could not be more ideal for me. I am SO happy I took the plunge."
"The leads I receive are aligned with the clients I actually want to work with."
– Martine Cousineau Pouliot, Dubsado Expert
Martine more than tripled her monthly revenue
"Working with Samara has been a life-changing experience! She has helped me evolve as a biz owner but also as a person. I'm booked out at least 2 months in advance! I'm finally hitting $5K - $10k+ months consistently. Discovery Calls are more a confirmation that we are a good fit than actually selling and praying they sign."
"Overall, this investment in myself was probably the best thing I’ve ever done."
–Allison Bailey, Brand + Website Designer
Allison found ease in her business
"When looking for a coach, I knew personality fit was going to be a big factor for me. I was looking for someone with similar values, who was heart-led, authentic, and working in a way that I admired and aspired to. Samara was the perfect fit for me. The coaching container was incredibly supportive, providing a blend of encouragement, practical guidance, accountability, and valuable resources."
"Samara propelled my launch to much greater heights."
– Xindi Soh, Messaging + Marketing Coach
xindi surpassed her sales goals
"I told Samara my goal of signing 1 client by the end of the month and she covered every point on the checklist to make sure I hit that goal. Not only did I hit that goal, but I also surpassed it by signing two clients within 2 weeks! I obviously extended my support after. "
"I'm building the life I want in terms of my personal time and business."
— Isobel Griffin, Website Copywriter
Isobel is booked months in advance
"Before joining Samara's coaching container, I was struggling with a few things in my business. Consistent income, confidently showing up online, and sticking to project boundaries. Now, my course launched to almost 2x as many students as I hoped for and I can't wait to relaunch it again. I'm booked out 2 months in advance and am hitting my monthly income goals."
"Samara's approach to coaching is truly heart-led..."
– Lindsey Tran, Photographer
Lindsey more than doubled her annual revenue
"I had a goal of getting 2 photography jobs per month, and I would say I'm getting 3–4 on a busy month! Another big change is my revenue. With Samara by my side this year, I grew more confident in my business, and I'm so proud to say I've had my biggest year of revenue ever! Samara's approach to coaching is truly heart-led and she helps you tap into your intuition to make impactful business decisions."
"She helped me work through self-doubt and limiting beliefs."
– Jordan Laurelle, Manifestation Coach
Jordan pivoted into coaching
"Samara was a great support as I began to really put myself out there as a coach! I am putting out offers, launched a group program, and signed my first private client. She helped me gain more clarity on what I wanted to coach on and how I wanted to show up online, helped me work through self-doubt and limiting beliefs, and taught me how to start turning my story and expertise into offers!"
