Basics
Is this therapy?
+

Miracle Work is an emotional transformation method — a precise, playful intervention that dissolves emotional charge. It is not psychotherapy, diagnosis, or treatment.

It works powerfully alongside therapy and is not a replacement for clinical care where such care is needed.

Basics
What exactly happens in a session?
+

You bring one issue. We rate it on a scale from 0 to 10. We play a short game — usually two to three minutes. We measure again. If the number has dropped, we test across the original situation, trigger, and future projection. If anything remains, we play another round. When it reaches zero, we close.

You can see a full example session transcript on the How It Works page.

Method
Do I have to tell you my story?
+

No. Story is optional. Many clients prefer to work covertly, naming only the feeling and its intensity — sometimes using a single keyword. The method meets the charge directly.

This is especially important for executives, public figures, legal cases, and anyone whose material requires discretion.

Method
Do I need to understand the root cause?
+

No. You do not need to know where the issue came from, what caused it, or when it was created. The method works on the present feeling, not on the origin story.

This is the biggest structural difference between Miracle Work and most older modalities — and one of the reasons it is unusually accessible.

Method
How fast does it actually work?
+

Most issues move significantly within a single 30-minute session — often inside a single game of two to three minutes. A deeper or layered pattern may take a handful of rounds, usually still in one session or across two to three.

Speed here is a consequence of working at the exact layer where change happens, not a shortcut.

Method
If it shifts, does it stay shifted?
+

Yes — if the charge is fully dissolved. Fragments can return. A fully released issue does not. Many clients find themselves weeks later quietly doubting the problem was ever real.

We test across seven dimensions before closing a session precisely so we know whether the work is complete or whether a fragment remains.

For skeptics
What if I am skeptical?
+

Please be. The entire method is built on the 0–10 scale, measured before and after. If the number moves, something moved. The work invites evidence rather than belief.

Many of Samuel's most committed clients came in skeptical. The first 10 minutes of a session usually settles the question for them.

For skeptics
What if I have tried everything already?
+

Then you are in the group the method was built for. Most clients come to Miracle Work after years of serious work — therapy, coaching, workshops, reading, self-practice. The method targets precisely what that work has revealed yet not resolved.

For skeptics
What if my issue is very old?
+

Age of the issue is rarely the obstacle. What is old is often simply rehearsed. The method does not care how long the feeling has been there — only how it feels now.

Samuel regularly resolves charges that clients have carried for twenty or thirty years, inside a single session.

For skeptics
What if I cannot explain what I feel?
+

That is a great starting point. Miracle Work does not require verbal clarity. Unnamable feelings — "this dark cloud," "something is heavy" — are as workable as well-defined ones. The intensity number is enough.

Sessions
How long is a Breakthrough Session?
+

30 minutes. Focused, one issue, one measurement before, one measurement after. Most of the work lands inside this window.

Sessions
Online or in person?
+

Both. Samuel works in person and online worldwide. The method is fully effective on either format. Most clients work online.

Sessions
How many sessions will I need?
+

Some clients come once, for one issue, and never need to return for that issue. Others come for an initial series of three to five, addressing different charges. Some principals retain Samuel for ongoing concierge availability.

The method does not create dependency. You leave with tools you can apply yourself.

Sessions
Can I bring someone else — partner, family?
+

Yes, for couples and close-relational work specifically. Each person works individually on their own charge within the shared situation. Please mention on inquiry so the session is scheduled appropriately.

Method
Can I learn to do it myself?
+

Yes. Miracle Work is designed to be self-applied. Most clients start using the games on themselves after their first session. The foundational training is available through the upcoming Online Academy and through direct Private Training with Samuel.

For practitioners
Does it work with what I already practice?
+

Yes. Therapists, EMDR and Brainspotting practitioners, hypnotherapists, NLP professionals, somatic practitioners, coaches, and clinical teams use Miracle Work as a rapid breakthrough layer inside their existing work.

Samuel's own training includes NLP (Practitioner through two Advanced Master tracks), trauma therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, EMI, biofeedback, body psychotherapy, psycholytic training, and direct apprenticeship with Brittany Lefkoe.

For practitioners
How do I become certified?
+

Through the Miracle Work Training cohort. Live teaching from Samuel. Peer practice. Supervised application on real cases. The next cohort is currently accepting applications.

For some practitioners who prefer intensive 1-on-1 format, Private Training with Samuel is also available.

For practitioners
How long does training take?
+

Foundational competence comes unusually quickly — usually inside a single training weekend. Certification requires additional live supervised practice, depending on track.

Privacy
How private is this work?
+

Private by default. Names and stories stay in the room. NDAs are available on request. Covert and keyword-only formats mean sensitive material never needs to be spoken aloud.

This is part of why Miracle Work is chosen by principals, public figures, executives, and couples where confidentiality is essential.

Privacy
Is there clinical backup?
+

Miracle Work does not replace medical or psychiatric care. Clients who are in active therapeutic treatment are welcome to add Miracle Work as a complementary layer, with their clinician's knowledge where relevant.

Basics
What kind of issues does it work on?
+

Heartbreak, grief, shame, guilt, fear, anxiety, rejection, abandonment pain, jealousy, envy, resentment, anger, self-doubt, limiting beliefs, attachment pain, relationship conflicts, performance pressure, recurring triggers, and identity-level suffering.

Anything that can be given an intensity rating between 0 and 10 can be addressed.

Method
Is this spiritual? Religious?
+

Neither. Miracle Work is a structural method. It uses the word "miracle" to name the class of experience where something that felt real stops feeling real. That experience is observable, reproducible, and measurable. It is not a doctrine.

Basics
Can it handle very deep trauma?
+

Yes, with care. Deep trauma often has multiple layers, some of which require clinical support and sequencing. Miracle Work can be used to dissolve specific charges within a trauma-informed arc, in coordination with existing clinical care where appropriate.

Sessions
What does it cost?
+

Session and training fees are provided privately on inquiry. Pricing reflects the seniority of the work, its intensity, and the specific engagement format (single session, retained concierge, private training, institutional licensing).

Basics
How do I start?
+

Open a private inquiry. One sentence about what you are working on is enough. Samuel reads every message personally and responds within 48 hours.
