From rock bottom to industry leader, Samantha Brunskill’s story is one of radical transformation and self-leadership.
After experiencing a period of deep personal struggle, including time in a psychiatric ward where she felt a loss of identity, belonging, and purpose, Samantha rebuilt her life from the inside out. By age 22, she had founded and scaled a property development company into a multi–8 figure, award-winning brand — starting with nothing but vision, resilience, and an unshakable decision to rise.
Today, Samantha is the founder of The Illuminator Method, where she helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs, founders, and changemakers scale their businesses, amplify their impact, and step into industry leadership.
She is known for her ability to see what others miss — identifying the real bottlenecks holding leaders back and implementing high-leverage systems, bold brand positioning, and elite-level strategy. Her work has supported many businesses, not through hustle, but through identity alignment, authority, and intelligent scale.
Samantha doesn’t offer generic advice. She engineers transformation at the identity, brand, and leadership level — because real scale starts from within.

Samantha helped me to have a greater ability to incorporate spirituality into business/leadership with a deeper level of embodiment. I felt fully seen for the first time which enabled me to learn how to become vulnerable. Helped me set and understand healthy boundaries connect me to my inner Yes and No. Enabled me to Love all of myself especially my feminine aspects as I had always operated so heavily in my masculine to be seen.
