I have been suffering emotional and physical problems for over 10 years, trying to handle it the best way I could, but with no success. Without knowing what I was actually dealing with, I came to a detrimental point in my life. I looked everywhere, in my home country, around the world and ended up traveling across continents to seek help. Arriving to Mexico City I contacted the Black Diamond Coaching institute looking for someone who could give me tools to rebuild and repair my broken self. Sammy listened to my story, studied my problem and saw how sever my condition was and very quickly detected deep disruptions, he analyzed many layers of my problem. He had told me of his approach to working with his patients, the methods and philosophy behind his work. He spoke of the different healers and doctor that are working with him and said that he knows how to help me and that together with his team they could get me to a better place. I felt a great deal of trust regarding his intentions, his persona and energy, something that doesn’t come easy to me! And so, we went on a life changing journey…letting Sammy guide me through the process with my faith and serenity.

Symptoms I had:
1. Depression and suicidal thoughts.
2. Incessant screaming.
3. Irritability and frequent mood changes.
4. Emotional and developmental regression.
5. Visual or auditory hallucinations.
6. Sensitivity to light, sound, and touch.
7. Trouble sleeping.
8. Refusing to eat, which led to weight loss.
9. Weight gain.
10. Joint pains.
11. Frequent bed wetting.
12. Near catatonic state.

Sammy combines a variety of techniques. One of his doctors uses a specialized form of diagnosis called Bio-photon Kinesiology to determine the best method of treatment. His treatment often includes sessions with the Rife machine, a device that sends electromagnetic frequencies through the body that vibrate at a frequency that destroys the DNA of harmful microbes inhabiting the body such as parasites, bacteria, viruses, and fungi. He also customizes herbal extract formulas to address the root causes underlying the wide variety of symptoms, syndromes, and disorders.
The doctor diagnosed me with black mold poisoning, he said that the rife machine could kill the bacteria immediately, my state was fragile so he decided to give me a mixture of herbs to begin with.
After taking the herbs daily some of my symptoms were getting better but others didn’t.
During this month Sammy arranged an additional treatment, a Chinese healing technique using a special machine that radiates heat and red infra light, he also gave me different natural product to help with the treatment, it helped a great deal. I was feeling relaxed and calm after each session. After a while there were improvements, I could sleep better and my vitality came back, my mood swings where less frequent. Sammy suggested we also integrate another Nutritional Support. Another doctor gave me a special Ancestral Diet to help the body come to its right weight and strengthen it. My skin looked better, I lost over 10 kilos and retrieved my vitality.
Sammy and I met every week, and were in frequent communication. We met for sessions at his beautiful cozy consolatory, where he addressed the emotional issues I had. We analyzed, we laughed and cried, but I mainly listened to his genius. He had helped me understand the power of thought, its quality and how it can form a reality and much more. He introduced the Fisher Wallace Stimulator; it works by modulating serotonin production and alpha wave production. He also used a device that induce electrical current inside the body that helps to restore the blocked ion flow and stimulates the body’s own regeneration processes.
He added to his treatment the 12 Tissue salts, also known as “cell salts” or “biochemistry salts.
After less than two months into the process I had a serious regression. I fell into extreme depression. For a whole week I barely ate or got out of bed. Sammy was concerned! He took me to get a brain scan just to make sure that we are not dealing with severe neurologic problem. Sammy went back to seek answers from his team. One of his doctors checked me again and found pandas syndrome, a neuro psychiatric pediatric autoimmune disorder associated with streptococcus. This disease comes with all the symptom I had been suffering from. I felt we found the source of the problem. It took about another month or so until all the symptoms started disappearing one by one, I was feeling like myself again! I couldn’t believe it! It literally felt unreal, like magic. I came to see Sammy after a long and harsh inner storm and he took me under his wing. It took us only three months to grow the inner fields of gold I left with. I couldn’t describe it better! He helped me retrieve back my health with such devotion and with having the confidence that I will get better. He believed in me, I believed in me, sometimes that’s all one needs.
Now much work needs to be done on my part, maintaining the health of my physical and emotional self. With all the tools I received, always knowing I have this amazing team with me. There aren’t any words to describe my gratitude and thankfulness.
You are always in my heart.

The first time I met Sammy and heard about his syncretic method of coaching, I didn’t imagine that I was embarking on a life changing journey that was going to have such a powerful impact on establishing a personal holistic philosophy of life.

In the course of less than four years this journey has taken me from India to Egypt with a stop at Burning Man, but the most important path has been navigated internally, from seeing life with an extreme lack of faith to understanding how nature works based on its universal laws. As Phil Mondragon, Sammy’s late business partner and mentor, metaphorically put it: “I was looking in the wrong places for the missing leg to the three-leg stool”.

The mind is a very powerful tool that many times play tricks on us, so having the right tools to improve the quality of thinking, gives the individual the control that arises from understanding that there is nothing that can be controlled, and the ability to make better decisions on the way to become a great leader and reach one’s full potential.

Thank you Black Diamond for guiding me to conquer the fear to act and take the first step to a never ending process of learning, contemplation and understanding. As I have learned throughout my coaching program, there is no such thing as coincidence in life, now I understand why Black Diamond was placed on my path.

It seems that most of art schools and coaching strategies are focused on teaching the student how to deal with a bunch of practical obstacles in order to get through a certain task or difficulty. It seems that, as students, what we need are more “tools” and “resources”, like if it exists a magical formula that could make us change immediately or find our own style of expression with the blink of an eye. This fallacy made us tired, searching desperately for answers in all the wrong places.
With the heritage of a completely different tradition (with a versatile background of physical and mental practices) the work of Sammy Samir opens the possibility to look inwards and then —after a dedicated journey— awaken to the faculties that were already inside us. In his work, movement and language are aligned in a path that leads to clarity, attention and balance. For me, the insights that surfaced during Sammy’s company and guidance, were a starting point in a quest that links creativity, fraternity, care for others and for ourselves.
With this in mind, it is possible to imagine a world where the glance of strangers represents no more a menace or a principle of judgement or shame; on the contrary, Sammy’s perspective opened a horizon: the beginning of a new relationship with strangers and with the mysteries of the unknown, a whole vision of a not so distant future, where wisdom, compassion and friendship are the fundaments of the society that we all are willing to imagine.

The period working with Sammy was fundamental for my destiny as a person and as an actress. I learned to synchronize myself like fish shoal, where from the understanding of a situation and my own uniqueness, from within it fiction is interwoven. The word became creation, movement became action, together they make time meaningful because life manifests.
Risk, precision, rhythm and right balance are fundamentals we work with each and every day. Working with Sammy gave me the opportunity to flow, transform, re-formulate and recognize myself.
The consciousness generated In this space is light.
My eternal gratitude to Sammy and to all whom participated in this process.

I had the opportunity to be part of a 3-year artistic project guided by Sammy Samir, an inspirational individual whose profound life’s vision is expressed at every level of the Black Diamond philosophy. This experience deeply transformed my life, opening a new channel to better understand my true self, and bringing me closer to self-realization.
Black Diamond Coaching is the product of a lifelong research into mysticism and the psyche, brought about by Sammy Samir’s journey into the Arts as both theatre and movie actor and director, through his syncretic coaching, helping all kinds of individuals achieve elite levels of performance, and his professional and academic work with a myriad of intellectuals all over the world.

When I first met Sammy Samir, I realized that I was in the place I had always wanted to be, an artistic training and research group where there was no expectation of what was going to happen, because the most important thing was the process of what was actually happening between us. I have spent much of my life in search, I realized that it is precisely this kind of action that motivates me the most, because finally I don’t like to have expectations of what I will find, and this experience has been one of my greatest lessons.

The experience with Sammy had transformed me, it was as if I was doing my theater career once again, but from a different perspective, since what was nurtured in me was my inner being and not the mask of the actress. I learned to observe and listen around me with attention, not with the attention to which we are accustomed to from childhood, which is basically a superficial stillness; but with the attention that is full of details and full of sensitivity. I discovered that the body has an intelligence that we usually are not aware of nor come to meet in our day to day experience; I understood the resilience, strength and control that we can reach with the body, but the subtlety of this awakened body state was something I discovered only with Sammy.
The process of entering into the more intimate places of myself was gradual and comforting. I began to observe mechanical acts that were eliminated through this awakened state of mine. Listening to what was happening and simply reacting instinctively and naturally to stimuli.

The work in the Alembic project was an experience I never lived with any other theater company before. The ability to listen became deeper over time, to the point where I felt my partners entering in precise and subtle communication, all at the same time. I experienced the group rhythm from a totally new perspective. It finally became clear to me how energy was transformed; cycles of charge and discharge were perceived. Through risk we broke our own barriers and accessed into different new perceptions.

I am Acela Maganda, I am 40 years old, I have 3 children Eva, Karen and Alberto.
When I met Sammy, I was going through very difficult moments in my life, both emotional and sentimental, family and relationship problems… I couldn’t find any meaning in my life.
I felt trapped in my own jail, I did not know where to go, I was depressed, right at that moment my 20-year-old daughter Eva wanted to study medicine, but she did not want to study in public universities. I was sad to see her as she was, worried and frustrated. I did not know what to do because I had already investigated in other schools but the costs were extremely high. As a mom I felt lonely, sad, I thought I was not a good mother, I felt guilty.
Thank you Sammy, I am very grateful that you gave your time and hours upon hours to listen to my concerns. Today I can say that I am eternally grateful for teaching me how to make firm decisions, learning how to say no, and also how to say yes, to knock on doors, and the most important thing you helped me understand was, that I am not alone.
Thank you for placing me back in my center, come to myself, to my house, and start working with another way of thinking, positively. Today I am happy because I have a family, my children who are the engine of my life. I thank God for putting you on my path Sammy, because my life took a 160 ° turn! I feel like a complete woman, committed, and happy because Eva is in her 2nd semester of medicine. And all of this thanks to you.
Thank you, you transformed me!

Black Diamond started off being a personal and emotional artistic exploration and training. The tools that were built during practice have been applied to my life in the most natural way. The result is an evident integral benefit in my existence, from the personal to the professional scope. I was able to develop a much more conscious view with productive and transcendental results, as well as having the ability to take advantage and discover my physical and emotional capacities to achieve this.

The process of work immediately becomes a space full of confidence and creativity, which allows an experience highly satisfying and highly effective.

Sammy Samir’s professional experience is felt from the first session, fostering a valuable relationship of respect and trust from the very first moment. I am convinced that Black Diamond Coaching will remain invaluable utility for me in different aspects of my personality for many years to come.

If you are a seeker, if you understand that there is something deeper than what you perceive as reality, if you are willing to transform your inner being into your true essence; then you need to work with Sammy. For me it was like a process of alchemy, where I discovered that sometimes your psyche needs to be pierced with a lightened sword of truth so you can gain more biomystical consciousness and continue evolving…
Thanks Sammy, because with our work and your lead I learned that the wound is where light comes through and I’m no longer the same!

I believe that there are situations in life that mark you and change you completely. Meeting Sammy was one of them. I arrived with many doubts and without knowing exactly what I was going to find, and surely what I did found was a great teacher, guide and friend who gave me tools, bases and anecdotes that changed me into a woman with a different vision of myself and of the world around me. In my personal life, I learned to connect with myself and have faith, to find the answers in me without having to look for them outside. Now I know that any decision I make is the right one, because that’s the way it has to be. In my professional life I am undertaking a new business and I have faith that while I continue sowing each seed, being open to whatever happens, God is with me. Success is in living in the present and enjoying the process. Sammy is one of those people who, when you meet him, you don’t want him to ever leave your life.
Sammy, I appreciate the learning and the dedicated time you shared with me, in order to fly high with me in each of my processes and land the answers together.
