About Samantha Kaaua

A Glimpse Into My World 

Nature and animals are my happy places. If I'm not exploring the depths of marital bliss and challenges, you might catch me dreaming about an animal rehabilitation center – a project close to my heart. Ever heard of the Manu O Ku, or fairy tern? These birds are a symbol of resilience and freedom, much like the relationships I love to nurture.

My Path to Coaching 

My journey into relationship coaching feels like destiny. Having grown up in a family where divorce was a common theme, my personal vow was to never let my own marriage end in such a way. However, life had its plans, and I found myself facing the very challenge I had hoped to avoid. Married to my high school sweetheart for over 11 years, we experienced moments that almost led us to divorce. It's this personal path, intertwined with my professional background, that has deeply shaped my approach to coaching.

In 2019, I took a significant step by opening my private practice and starting my coaching business. This was a pivotal moment, blending my academic knowledge in Psychology and Marriage & Family Therapy with my firsthand experience of marital challenges. However, by 2022, I realized that my true impact lies in coaching, particularly focusing on individuals within relationships. I made the decision to leave my therapy practice behind and dedicate myself entirely to coaching.

This transition allowed me to concentrate on helping individuals navigate the complexities of their relationships. My goal is to empower them to be the catalysts for change and growth in their marriages, even when their partners may not be on the same journey. With a blend of professional expertise and personal empathy, I guide them in rediscovering their strength, resilience, and capacity for transformation – the keys to revitalizing their relationships.

A Sneak Peek into My Life 

When I'm not guiding individuals in transforming their marriage, you'll find me in the beautiful landscapes of Hawaii, enjoying life with my husband and our three wonderful daughters. We're an adventurous bunch – jet skiing, hiking, and just soaking in the island life. These moments are my reminders of the beauty and strength in relationships, and they fuel my passion for what I do.
