In 1975, when Sami was just two years old, war broke out, and the terror that followed deeply impacted his early years. In 1986, when Sami was 12, his family was forced to flee Lebanon, eventually relocating to Zurich, Switzerland. Thanks to his Swiss mother, immigration was a smoother process, but the transition to Switzerland wasn’t without its challenges. Sami’s mother battled health issues, while his father struggled to find work as a doctor due to his approaching retirement. These difficulties created an atmosphere of anxiety and uncertainty that would accompany Sami through his formative years.

 

Adolescence brought additional struggles. At 14, Sami developed severe acne, which shattered his self-image and compounded his feelings of inadequacy. Over time, through personal healing, Sami realized that one of the root causes of his skin issues were connected to an early belief that he wasn’t “good enough” for his father and the hole story started at the age of 4. His academic performance also suffered, leading to a demotion in school. When he was 17, Sami was physically assaulted by a group of bullies, an event that further damaged his self-esteem and self-confidence. Despite these setbacks, Sami held onto the belief that his mother’s strength would allow her to overcome her health struggles. Tragically, in 1995, she passed away at Christmas, leaving a deep void in his heart.

 

At 22, Sami had completed his apprenticeship as a toolmaker and worked for a year to save up for a world trip. His journey took him across the globe, with stops in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, the Cook Islands, Hawaii, and California. This trip gave Sami a renewed sense of hope and purpose, but upon returning to Switzerland, he found that his life had shifted in unexpected ways. His father had returned to Lebanon, and the family home was no longer there. Sami felt lost and unsure of his direction. He briefly returned to toolmaking, but his true passion lay elsewhere.

 

In 2003, Sami moved to Australia, where he pursued a certification as a fitness instructor and personal trainer on the Gold Coast. After two years, he relocated to Sydney, where he found work as a trainer and pursued his passion for acting by enrolling in courses at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. His dream of becoming an actor took root, and he eventually became an Australian citizen before setting his sights on the United States.

​

In the U.S., Sami studied acting in New York and explored the industry in Los Angeles. However, after three months, he realized that the acting business was far more difficult than he had anticipated. Returning to Lausanne, Switzerland, he resumed his work as a trainer while continuing his pursuit of acting. In 2013, Sami was awarded a scholarship to study acting in Los Angeles; however, due to visa delays, his plans were postponed until January 2014. Regrettably, he was unable to secure the necessary funds and, as a result, was unable to attend the program. He later discovered that the acting school he had planned to attend was a scam. This revelation was a blessing in disguise, saving him from a potentially harmful situation. It led Sami to reflect deeply on his motivations for pursuing acting, questioning whether it was driven by his ego and desire for validation rather than genuine love for the craft. After ten years of striving for an acting career, Sami chose to let go of that dream and move on.

​

During one of the darkest periods of his life, Sami discovered the “Emotion Code” and began exploring natural healing. He relocated to Zurich, where he worked as a trainer and began to experience positive transformations in his life. In 2014, he set new goals for himself, including completing the Half Ironman Rapperswil and Ironman Zurich, both of which he successfully finished in 2015. Yet, despite his personal achievements, Sami realized that his career in fitness no longer fulfilled him. The fitness industry offered little financial reward, and he felt disconnected from the role of a trainer. After losing his job, he took a position as a lifeguard, during which he began studying and applying the Body Code. This marked the beginning of his journey into the world of natural healing.

​

In 2016, Sami became the first male certified practitioner of the Emotion and Body Code in Switzerland, solidifying his commitment to helping others achieve personal transformation.

​

By 2017, Sami knew he needed to make a change. He had a vision of starting his own healing business and left Switzerland to pursue this dream. After several years living in Portugal, where he deepened his practice and refined his skills, Sami returned to Zurich. Now, he is dedicated to helping others transform their lives, bringing the wisdom and insights he has gained from his own journey into his work.

Today, Sami Fakhreddine is committed to guiding individuals on their own paths to healing and self-discovery, with a deep understanding of the challenges and triumphs that come with such a transformative journey.
