Sam Leighton is the founder of The Alchemy of Calm and Mamoru & Co, where scent, science, and storytelling meet. With more than 20 years in high-stakes leadership across aviation, law enforcement , and operations, Sam has led complex teams and projects from Australia to the MiddleEast. After years of operating in intense, high-pressure environments, she turned to aromatherapy as a structured form of calm—a way to regulate the nervous system and restore clarity.
Through The Alchemy of Calm, Sam teaches how scent can support emotional balance, focus, and self-leadership. Her evidence-based, sensory approach blends discipline with ritual, showing that calm is not the absence of pressure but mastery within it. Each lesson helps people reconnect to purpose and presence—building resilience through structure, story, and the quiet power of aroma.
