Casey Samuel
Casey Samsel, 33 year old creator and entrepreneur living life to the max.
I’ve been working with women in all walks of life for 9 years in pursuit of their most sovereign, happiest, healthiest selves whether it’s bodybuilding or overall life, mind, and body alignment in order to start their fitness journey and see it through to their goals. My work lies in helping women evolve and grow through the limits they unconsciously put on themselves in relation to their health, their mind, and physical body.
The Fit Femme Project Full-Bodied, Women’s Transformation company is encompassed with passionate, fiery women who are done with the mundane, done with excuses, and done living a controlled life with no freedom or fun when it comes to fitness. My passion and craving lies in creating deep connections in order to teach self-love, worth, care, and optimize the lives of the people I care about. Creating connection is challenging when you do not know how to access empathy or compassion and when you do not know how to correctly hold space for others in order to assess, discover, heal, and grow.
