Who is Samuel Archambault?
Nice to meet you! Originally from Montreal, Canada, I moved to Finland in September 2022 and currently live and practice in Turku, Finland.
I graduated from a B, Sc. Kinesiology at the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, before completing my diploma in osteopathy at the Swiss International College of Osteopathy. I spent more than 13 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, building organizational skills, learning human psychology and teaching health related topics to military personnel.
I entertain a passion of traveling and the outdoors : if I’m not at the office making people’s life better, I’m either working out, outside playing in nature or reading a book on the human body.
“Wherever I look at in the health and wellness industry, I see paradigms competing against each other. What you see here is the implementation of my Life’s Task : launching a movement where people can connect as a community around an inclusive long term vision of health.”
A little bit about me - here’s my story
Born in Longueuil, Quebec, I spent my childhood creating imaginary games and dreaming in all colors. My curiosity has always been my best ally.
As an adolescent, I challenged authority and my own limits. I am fortunate to have been raised by parents who opened my eyes to the world and pushed me to get out of my comfort zone. Being able to share this vision with my brothers made life precious.
My taste for adventure materialized at 17 when I join the Canadian Armed Forces. This period also marks the beginning of my very first backpacking trip in Chile and Bolivia, sparking the start of many more journeys (more than 23 countries explored to this day)!
Throughout my university journey studying kinesiology, my thirst for challenge and learning takes me on a journey around the world and within myself. I scatter into a thousand projects and experiences that have shaped my identity.
When I decided to pursue further studies in osteopathy, I realize how much the body, mind, and soul are connected. I begin to question several aspects of my life, and it transformed me gradually.
As my deep desire to explore keep expanding, I underwent two deployments in Latvia with the Canadian Armed Forces from 2018 to 2022, propelling me both professionally and personally. Without a doubt, the highlight of those experiences was how I met the love of my life, a beautiful Finn, with whom building a strong relationship takes several years due to the distance between us.
In September 2022, I decide to leap of faith into certainty and follow my intuition by moving to Finland. This decision brings profound upheavals in my life. On the brink of depression, facing these challenges, I decide to channel this energy to create a new reality for myself and become the person I have always aspired to be: a guide to others.
Joining my aspirations to be an entrepreneur and the unique opportunity of my new life in Finland, I decided to go full in and bet on myself. Since Sept 2023, I now run my own company in Finland, with immense ambitions to expand my role as an educator, teacher, leader, mentor and health care professional around the world.
