I celebrated my ordination in July 2023 with my peers from the Oak class with the One Spirit Interfaith Foundation. It was the most joyous life affirming moment, cementing the journey of the previous 2 years training, my personal healing journey and tremendous growth now that all my threads are woven together.
Since this time I have been offering tailored ceremony crafting and funeral officiation, living funeral planning, healing ceremonies, natural energy therapy, spiritual enquiry, wedding ceremony co-creation and host a monthly spiritual curiosity circle in the community.
I also offer public talks to groups to explore ceremony, rituals and interfaith dialogue.
Alongside my other day job of Lay Advocate I am currently training to be a hospital chaplain volunteer.Â
My heart is at it’s happiest being in connection with others, being in community and holding sacred space for those wishing to honor their own personal experience.
Please do reach out for for further information.
My personal vow taken at Ordination:
Divine Spirit,Â
I vow to be as open hearted and compassionate
towards all that I do, for all whom I meetÂ
as I am
when I am at ONE with you.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You captured Dad’s spirit and being in such a short space of time. You made his send off so beautiful and personal. It has bought me and my family much peace and comfort.
Your emails, texts, and phone calls have eased a lot of anxiety along the way, thank you.
It has been lovely getting to know you on this journey, you are a wonderful lady.
Eternal thanks and big hugs
It was a pleasure to meet you, you have given me such a sense of peace and this might sound weird but I’m excited to plan my funeral. All about me. Thank you so much for reading to me too, it gave me goosebumps that you chose a poem that was about me, my time of life and journey by trusting where you opened the book. Thank you so much
I couldn’t thank Rev Sam enough for her time and really making every effort to completely understand who my aunt was & speak about her with such accuracy. For speaking on my behalf also and get others involved also, would highly recommend
Looking forward to having you with me on the journey of our wedding.
You nailed this ceremony for M, she would have loved it. I am so happy that we had a celebrant who knew M and could really share her character. It meant the world to me and bought me great peace, Thank you.
I thought you created a warm and welcoming space, with lovely use of color and texture for the central altar.
I liked that you enquired as to our expectations and that you emphasized that all contributions were valid, with no right or wrong responses.
I also felt that you created an atmosphere of curiosity and that people felt secure enough to be authentic in their contributions to the conversation.
The group ( spiritual curiosity circle) and space felt warm and welcoming. There was kindness and respect for all our thoughts and wonderings. You were amazing, it felt just right. I will definitely try and make every Monday, just a shame there isn\’t more.
Thank you so much for the group ( spiritual curiosity circle) tonight, I felt a beautiful love from everyone. Look forward to next month.
Sam led me through a wonderful healing session. It was deeply relaxing and she was able to tap into what I needed most. Thank you for a profound experience, it was lovely. I look forward to my next session
Sam created a serene and tender space in which I felt able to gently unwind from life’s demands and expectations – like a spa day for your soul. So gentle and so affirming; reset my balance and loosened my hold on all the stuff I really don’t need to be clinging to… Powerful and uplifting – thank you, Sam.
I recently had a healing session with Rev.Samantha Radford which was truly transformative. The session was conducted in a warm and welcoming space , and Samantha explained the process clearly to me, which meant I felt both safe and supported. Samantha guided me through a series of techniques which helped me connect with my inner self. Samantha’s presence and energy were comforting and reassuring and during the session; I felt a profound sense of healing and release . After the session I felt lighter, balanced and full of energy. I highly recommend a session with Samantha to anyone looking to connect with their inner wisdom, release emotional tension and experience deep healing on a spiritual level .
