Client Love

"If you’re in the beginning stages of starting your own business, you’ve probably spent more time googling, crying, deliberating etc. than you had ever anticipated. I feel you- IT’S HARD WORK. Partnering with Sam has not only made me feel more confident in approaching the first steps of getting my health coaching practice up and running, she’s turned my anxiety into a passion for what I’m creating. For me personally, investing my time with a professional who is sharing business advice is a sacred process. I want immediate value, information broken down in a way that’s totally comprehensible and someone who is authentic… someone I can see myself talking shop with over a glass of wine. Sam goes above and beyond in each of these areas. She is a wealth of knowledge and her legal background adds a dimension to her business coaching that made me feel completely secure. If you’re looking for guidance ranging from the best resources to create your newsletter, to how you properly register a business name and bank account, Sam is the person to work with. She genuinely wants to see your business grow and will arm you with all of the tools & support for ultimate success. I could not recommend her more highly." - Katelyn P.

"Sam Vander Wielen's business and legal templates are an awesome resource for coaches and other entrepreneurs. Sam has done an incredible job making these resources accessible - from both an ease and a cost perspective. Her legal expertise, entrepreneurial skills, and desire to empower other business owners sets her apart in this work! Not only are the templates simple to use and customize, but each template comes with an incredibly helpful tutorial video! As an attorney turned health coach, I am so grateful for these resources. As business owners, we spend so much time and energy building our businesses. I'm grateful to Sam for making it easy to protect all of that hard work!" - Simi Botic, simibotic.com

"As a busy entrepreneur and wellness coach, I balance what feels like a million moving pieces day to day. I juggle teaching group fitness classes, training clients in person, coaching my 1:1 and group clients online, creating and developing new products and programs, and of course managing all the behind the scenes of my online business... marketing, accounting, operations, and more. I was starting to approach a point of burnout in my business because I was trying to do all aspects of it myself. I love coaching and creating, but I knew I needed to free up my time by asking for help with the stuff that constantly had me banging my head against the wall. This included the legal aspects of my business that I knew nothing about by knew were important: client contracts, terms of use for my fitness programs, privacy policies, etc.  I connected with Sam at the perfect time. As a former attorney turned entrepreneur/health coach, she was the ideal person to turn to because she understands the wellness industry but also has the legal background I lacked. Sam genuinely wants you to succeed in your business and has an arsenal of resources and templates that will help you do just that. I recommend that any business owner who is just starting out, feels overwhelmed with too many moving pieces, or simply needs to outsource instead of wear yet another business hat work with Sam. I cannot recommend her enough!" - achievewithathena.com

"Starting a health coaching business can be overwhelming and confusing, especially when it comes to the legal side of things. I reached out to Sam after consulting with several other attorneys, and when I learned she was a former attorney AND a health coach, I had full confidence Sam understood my exact legal needs! Sam's DIY client agreement and step-by-step video guidance turned my legal headaches and confusion into simple tasks. Finally! The buying process was extremely easy, and I received instant access to my purchased template. She happily answered all questions I had and made the entire DIY process actually enjoyable -- something I never thought I'd say! I can't recommend Sam enough. She truly wants you to succeed in your business, and I felt that the moment I reached out. Having someone on my side who fully understands both worlds - law and health coaching - is so invaluable."

"When starting my lifestyle blog, I knew I wanted to protect myself legally from the start even though I had a very small following. Working with Sam made the process straightforward and less stressful for me. She was able to understand the current needs of my blog, as well as provide insight towards my potential future needs as my blog grows. The how-to videos made implementing her templates extremely easy and I knew she was there if I had any questions. I'm grateful to have found Sam to give me peace of mind as I got my blog off the ground!" - Alexina Gosh, ohmygoshes.com

"Working with Sam was a breeze. She helped us determine our legal needs to protect our websites, and walked us through each step of the way using the templates - not that we needed much help, the templates and videos were so simple to follow! Being small business owners, in our very first year of business, it was a relief to find an affordable and trustworthy option for our website terms and conditions. Sam's mix of passion for wellness and entrepreneurship, combined with her legal background makes her a pleasure to work with, and a great resource as we continue to grow our brand!" - Kate, Jess & Jen of B+YND (Creators of The Good Fest), b-ynd.com

Starting a new business can be difficult so when you find someone who offers great value for their services it is so appreciated.  Sam does just that.  I purchased both her DIY Total Website Bundle and her DIY Client Agreement.  I received both purchases right away and was able to easily follow along. Sam gives you templates to use, but she also sends you videos that explain the process and the choices you need to make.  Sam makes it easy to generate the documents you need for your particular business.  If I had to hire an attorney for this, it would have cost me thousands of dollars and would have taken much longer.  I was also impressed that when I sent her a couple of questions I got a timely and thorough response.  I especially like that she understand the health coaching business and knows what the challenges are.  That gives me a comfort level that I have protected myself legally and don’t have to worry as much.  Sam made this an easy process and was a joy to work with!  In the future, when I have a new legal need I will go to Sam first. - Julie Kenney, Chameleon Wellness

“When I first started building my nutrition consulting practice 5 years ago, I honestly didn’t know the first thing about setting up my business online, let alone what steps I needed to take to ensure what I was offering had all of the legal boxes checked. To be extra honest…that was the part that I put off the longest because it just seemed too overwhelming to deal with, and quite frankly - over my head! Then I saw Sam post about her services (and her DIY legal templates) in a Facebook group I was in. I immediately went to her website and booked a consultation call with her. Eyes opened, questions answered, concerns extinguished, templates purchased, BOOM! Implementing the legal templates for my wellness business coaching & copywriting website gave me the piece of mind I had been needing since the inception of my new business model at the start of 2017. As I sat there after everything was finally in place on my site, I actually chuckled to myself — why had I left it so long?! The DIY legal templates were just so convenient, and while there’s no question it’s an upfront business expense - it was worth every penny! Lesson learned and now I’m definitely a fan 🙂 Thank you Sam for dedicating so much time and energy into your own business such that so many other wellness entrepreneurs can benefit from your experience as an attorney and legal expert. But the fact that you’re also in the Health & Wellness space yourself - well, that was just the dairy-free icing on the gluten-free cake! Haha!" - Krista Goncalves, Registered Nutritionist, Wellness Business Clarity Coach & Copywriter at Making Lemonade with Krista Goncalves
