“Sam was amazing through my whole self publishing journey. She kept me on track and motivated the whole time with weekly meetings and daily communication and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. Her knowledge about self publishing and health and wellness was extremely helpful and inspirational.
I can’t thank you enough Sammy for all of your help and guidance to bring my first book to life.”

Sam Gowing’s Online Mentoring Programs

Building a food or wellness business comes with a steep learning curve — and it’s hard to get the edge you need when you’re figuring it all out alone.

Sam’s mentoring brings together 40+ years in hospitality, her training as a Clinical Nutritionist, and decades of hands-on experience growing food and wellness businesses — so you’re not guessing your way through it.

Working together, you’ll get clarity on what you actually want to build, and how to link that to your own values and purpose. That clarity becomes the foundation for a business — or career pivot — you’re genuinely excited to commit to.

From there, Sam helps you put structure around it: turning your existing skills and ideas into a workable plan, with practical systems for organisation, execution, and growth that actually fit how you work.

The result isn’t just a better-run business — it’s more time back for the rest of your life, whether that’s family, travel, or simply having space to breathe.

Here’s what mentoring with Sam can help you do:

 

  • Clarify your vision and turn it into an actionable plan
  • Develop and test a food product, recipe, or menu concept
  • Build a self-publishing pathway for your book or recipe collection
  • Set up the systems and structure to run your business more efficiently
  • Navigate a career pivot from clinical/hospitality work into your own venture

“Inspiring. Empowering. Hilarious & Entertaining. Be it speaking to international heavyweights in the spa and food industry or helping the next up and coming cafe, restaurant or health practitioner, Sam Gowing is an incredible mentor with a wealth of experience, wisdom and the all-too-rare common sense. There is no one else like Sam; she truly is the Queen of Conscious Cuisine!” – Marcus Pearce
