Intuitive, Trauma-Informed Coaching with Sam Tetzlaff
Guiding women who are tired of performing & chasing approval back home to their own embodied sovereignty
You Don’t Need Another Strategy
You’re intelligent. Resourceful. Self-aware. You’ve read the books. Listened to the podcasts. Done traditional talk therapy.
You know your patterns.
And still — you feel stuck.
It just feels like something’s missing.
Women who work with me often feel:
“Successful” on paper but internally restless/unfulfilled
Afraid of being “too much”
The need to apologize for their needs, voice & ambition
Depleted and over-extended
Emotionally overwhelmed & can’t fully access pleasure
Disconnected from their body
Difficulty accessing their true feelings & chronically overthink decisions
Like they’re on the precipice of a big shift… but are not sure what that is/how to get there
What all of them are tired of: Shrinking. Dimming. Endlessly accommodating. Being “the good girl.”
But taking up space or fully being themselves also feels super intimidating or scary.
This isn’t about finding the right strategy, pill or magic solution because this was never about becoming something different or “fixing” yourself.
It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.
My coaching container creates the conditions for true transformation. While I believe self-discovery & embodiment work to be a lifelong evolution, this is the right place to actually feel change transpiring within yourself. There’s room for real alchemy here—not just talking about it.
About me
Hi, I’m Sam.
Mystic Astrologer. Somatic Educator. Lightworker.
And hopefully: your guide back to yourself.
The thing most people don't talk about though, is: you don't find yourself without first being lost. I know that place.
I know what it's like to have no idea who you are, because you don't "fit" with anyone around you; how it feels to avoid looking in the mirror and second-guessing your every move.
I've been told to quiet down, speak up... but not like that. l've been in great relationships and shitty ones; built a home with a long-term partner, only to have it all fall away. I had advanced to a supervisory position on a traditional career path when I heard my soul whisper that there was something more for me to do.
What I've found is: my story isn't unlike many women's. Most of us have carried much more than we can (or should) hold, yet feel like we can never do enough. We've lost sight of our own light yet know something’s missing.
I'm here to support you in remembering and reclaiming all of who you are.

“Women are not taught—they awaken. Every woman has a mysterious force within her. An ancient wisdom that is always whispering. A rhythmic flow that is not only connected to the life force of the planet but the entire universe. A cyclic nature, that if all women surrendered to, the whole planet would come back into balance.”
—RISE SISTER RISE BY REBECCA CAMPBELL
On the other side of my coaching container…
Something within you settles.
You’re no longer scanning the room to see how you compare.
No longer rehearsing what to say before you say it, bracing for rejection.
No longer apologizing for simply being.
There’s a steadiness in you now.
And when big feelings come up (as they inevitably will), instead of spiraling or running away—you stay.
You trust yourself.
Not in a loud, performative way.
In a rooted, self-assured way.
You make decisions without asking for everyone else’s input.
You say no without over-explaining or justifying.
You ask for what you actually want without backtracking or downplaying.
There’s more spaciousness and ease now.
More authenticity.
More vitality.
More range.
And maybe most importantly: You feel like you again.
Not always “perfectly regulated” but present & able to meet the moments of your life.
Let’s find our way back home, together.

Visioning & Returning to the body
We delve into your astrological natal chart as our framework, explore your nervous system, and build awareness of the protective strategies that have shaped your life. We zoom out to glean what your soul came here to do & slow down enough for real change to be possible.
articulating what you desire on a soul level, not just what you’ve adapted to

learning how & why we become disconnected from the body in the first place
understanding how your body organizes around stress, connection, and survival
This phase is about grounding & remembering who you are

Untangling conditioning patterns & reclaiming all parts of yourself
We explore your relational history, unearth all versions of you, and gently loosen the threads that were formed in survival. In learning how to turn towards yourself, we create a felt sense of safety & real choice emerges.
exploring patterns of attachment & conditioning; how these have kept you “safe” but stuck

recovering the parts of yourself you’ve learned to reject & tending to them

*These coaching services are not constituted as psychotherapy and do not include diagnosis, clinical evaluation, or formal treatment planning.

"My experience with the 1:1 Coaching Series with Sam was other worldy. Her ability to cultivate an energetic and safe, yet challenging environment for spiritual and mental growth is truly a gift that I was most certainly meant to receive in this lifetime.
I went into this seeking guidance on how to become more attuned to my soul's purpose and reconnect with my spirituality after years of deconstructing from my religious trauma and belief of what womanhood meant to me. The content of the coaching series was exactly what I didn't know I needed, yet very much aligned with my goals. I am leaving this space refreshed and energized, grounded with new connections, both earthly and spiritually, and with a vision and clarity of who I am and who I am striving to become. I truly cannot recommend Sam and this series enough."

Astrology
The true magic of astrology liberates, inspires & empowers us to meet the lives our souls have already been reaching for.
Astrology is an ancient wisdom we humans have been referencing for thousands of years to understand the current quality of time, the optimal moments to take action & to rest, and to connect with something greater. Our ancestors understood that the movements of the sky mirrored the happenings on the Earth.
As a divine tool that can help us to understand ourselves on a soul level, returning us to our true Nature, Astrology is woven throughout all of my offerings. Rather than something to consult outside of ourselves, think of Astrology as a stepping stone back home to yourself.
Recorded Readings
My readings are like receiving a 10-minute voice note from me, where I look at your personal birth chart in relation to where the planets & luminaries are right now. These mini readings quickly offer a deeper understanding of yourself & attunement to the current energies so you can feel in flow with your life.
SACRED TRIAD READING - $15
An overview of your “big three” in Astrology: your Sun, Moon & Rising signs. I’ll offer descriptions of each, where they are located in your birth chart, how this presents in your daily life, and any other relevant aspects. This is the foundation if you’re new to Astrology or simply want to deepen your understanding of this language (& yourself!).
ONE-TIME MINI MOON READING - $15
A channeled depiction of how the current lunar cycle and astrological transits are impacting your personal birth chart. This includes relevant themes & areas of your life that are being highlighted, as well as how you can work with and make the best use of this energy. These readings are oriented around either the New or Full Moon (whichever we are closest to at time of request).
LUMINARY MEMBERSHIP - $12.99/month
Become a luminary member and receive a mini moon reading from me each month, so that you can feel in flow with life. Think of this as checking your weather app to see if you need an umbrella—by understanding the astrological forecast, we can more easily meet our lives harmoniously. We glean a better sense of what season we’re currently in; if we need more rest, or if it’s a time to create, move, etc. I record each of these readings myself, according to each individual chart (not just a general overview based on your rising sign). Choose for your membership to orient around either the New or Full Moon (go with your gut).
”My mini-moon reading from Sam helped me move through some sticky feelings when I really needed support and guidance. Sam provided great clarity into why I was feeling like l'd been trudging through mud. Her insights helped me see how to move with the energies around me and be more centered and balanced as I awaited the astrological shifts that would bring greater calm and ease. I am so grateful for the reading and highly recommend getting one for yourself!” —Erin H.
WOMEN’S NEW &
FULL MOON CIRCLES
Women have been gathering for millennia to reconnect with each other and themselves. One way the Patriarchy has looked to control us is to separate us. Pitting us against each other. Devaluing and oppressing the feminine. Conditioning us to believe that there’s something lesser in being a woman. Disconnecting us from our own bodies & true Nature. But no more.
These circles offer a sacred space for us to return to our cyclical Nature, where we’re seen and held by fellow women. Where we can restore what’s been lost, healing ourselves & the planet at large. I offer both virtual and in-person circles, seeking to reweave this thread globally.
FAQ
-
Somatic coaching is an approach that works with both the mind and the body. Rather than simply talking about patterns on an intellectual level, we tap into the wisdom of the body, where all of your emotional history lives. Through different embodiment practices, you can learn to relate to yourself on a deeper level, with more safety and self-trust—it’s from this place that true transformation can happen.
-
My coaching sessions are very collaborative, growth-oriented and focus on reclaiming all of who you already are, rather than orienting around a diagnosis or a pathologizing framework. I don’t believe that I personally treat or heal my clients; I provide the guidance, holding, and tools needed so that you can give that love and care to yourself.
We have a set timeframe in which we work together to help create a secure container and to encourage self-empowerment. We also explore specific topics (personalized according to each individual), versus each session being opened-ended.
While my approach is trauma-informed and includes nervous system awareness, my offers are designed to support self-expression, integration, and alignment (and are not appropriate for those seeking trauma treatment).
There’s also a spiritual, soul-centered thread to my work, to support you in more deeply embodying your unique essence. We focus on reconnecting with your truth, breaking cycles rooted in approval-seeking, and creating a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling to you.
-
I define embodied sovereignty as being connected to and trusting your own inner authority enough to be able to act in alignment with what feels right for you. Many of us learn to gauge our reactions and make decisions based on what other people have told us or believe, and we’ve lost touch with what feels true for us. I think it’s human to want love and validation (and that will always be true on some level), but when we are constantly looking to external guidelines for how to live our lives, we’ve outsourced our power. Embodied sovereignty is about internally sourcing the power that has always been yours.
-
Astrology is woven into my work as an archetypal framework for self-understanding and attuning to our inherent cyclical Nature. Nature is not only around us but also within us; We are Nature. We start each coaching container with a natal chart (birth chart) reading as a way of illuminating who you are on a soul level, helping you to understand yourself outside of any conditioning you’ve received. My deepening container also includes monthly, 10-minute recorded astrology readings to help you attune to the current seasons of your life & work with the present energies.
Astrology is not a religion or belief system, and there is no expectation that you endorse any specific spiritual beliefs. In fact, many of my clients have a history of negative, restrictive experiences with religion, and find my work to be incredibly healing and liberating because it can offer a different framework for how we can relate to something greater than us.
-
At this time, I’m only offering coaching sessions virtually. This means we can connect from wherever you are in the world! My astrology readings are all recorded and I don’t offer live readings. Some of my circles are held in-person, and I may expand to offering in-person 1:1 coaching sessions to clients in the Madison, WI area in the future.
-
Short answer: No. All of my offerings are private-pay.
Long answer: Coaching services are normally not covered by health insurance because it’s not considered “medically necessary,” and does not include formal treatment planning nor diagnosing. Coaching clients typically feel stable day-to-day and are in a place where they are ready to deepen and expand.
If we mutually determine that EMDR treatment would be clinically appropriate outside of the coaching container, those services may be offered separately under a distinct informed consent and treatment agreement.
“Embarking on the coaching program with Sam was, without exaggeration, one of the most profoundly transformative decisions I've ever made. From our very first session, Sam masterfully cultivated a space that felt both incredibly safe and deeply professional – an oasis of calm and unwavering support where I felt genuinely seen and heard. Her unique ability to create this nurturing "container" allowed me to openly explore vulnerabilities and deeply rooted patterns without judgment, which was crucial for my healing.
The woman who emerged from this program is fundamentally different. I carry myself with a newfound self-assurance, a genuine confidence that radiates from within, and a profound sense of self-love that colors every interaction and decision. This transformation isn't just internal; it manifests in how I engage with the world, how I set boundaries, and how I now approach my future with clarity, purpose, and an unshakeable conviction in my own path.
I wholeheartedly recommend working with Sam to anyone who is truly ready for deep self-discovery, lasting change, and a journey guided by exceptional expertise, profound wisdom, and heartfelt compassion. It is an investment in yourself that will yield immeasurable returns.”
