About Sam Murray
Welcome to Empowered Holistic Counselling & Wellness.
I’m Sam Murray, founder of Empowered Holistic Counselling & Wellness and a holistic wellness facilitator. Over the past five plus years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of people, guiding them to reconnect with themselves, reclaim balance, and create a healthier, happier way of living.
Empowered was born from my own experience with burnout in 2019. Like many, I pushed through exhaustion, ignored the warning signs from my body and mind, and tried to juggle it all. At one point, I was managing the demands of life, navigating Endometriosis and Adenomyosis, and pretending I had it all together. Burnout caught up with me, forcing me to pause, reflect, and rediscover what truly mattered.
That experience shaped not only me, but the heart of Empowered, creating a space where people feel supported, seen, and empowered to make meaningful, sustainable changes in their lives. Over time, my work has expanded beyond counselling to include meditation, wellness workshops, nutrition coaching, online programs, and my natural skincare range, Empowered Skincare — all designed to support mind, body, and soul.
About Sam Murray
As I step into 2026, I’m evolving Empowered into a holistic health hub.
While my counselling books are currently closed, I remain here offering meditation classes, workshops, and programs that help people understand their nervous system, build healthier habits, and feel more grounded in daily life. I’m also opening my space to other like-minded practitioners, creating a community where wellness, learning, and connection thrive.
My approach has always been warm, real, and human. Whether through meditation, nutrition guidance, or workshops, I aim to meet people where they are, providing tools, support, and encouragement to help them navigate life with balance and clarity.
When I’m not in the studio, you’ll likely find me soaking up the sunshine at the beach and learning to surf, practising mindfulness, or experimenting in the kitchen — preferably with a Mexican meal and the occasional spicy margarita. I love travel, simple joys, and connecting with others in meaningful ways.
If you’re ready to prioritise yourself, whether through meditation, wellness workshops, nutrition, or holistic self care, Empowered is here to help you create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to thrive.
