About Sami Owens
I don't guess. I measure.
Founder of RESOLVE Performance + Wellness. I'm 51, a runner, training for HYROX, and I spent 26 years in university leadership before this.
The Story
I spent 26 years learning how to see what others missed.
Most of my career was spent in university leadership, working across enrollment management and student life. I was responsible for people, strategy, outcomes, and decisions that weren't always popular.
I learned to ask better questions, look beyond the obvious explanations, and pay attention when the evidence didn't match the story being told.
I also learned that understanding a problem and helping someone do something about it require different skills. I could be demanding. I cared deeply about the people I led, and I took their potential seriously.
Outside of work, I ran, lifted, and trained consistently. I loved understanding what the human body could do.
Then, in midlife, the relationship between effort and results began to change. I was doing much of what had always worked, but my body wasn't responding the same way. Routine lab results weren't providing much explanation.
So I started asking better questions about my own physiology. I studied, investigated, measured, and began connecting information that had previously been considered separately.
RESOLVE grew from that curiosity, and from a conviction that women deserve more thoughtful, individualized coaching.
Today, I bring the same combination of investigation, evidence, judgment, and personal investment to health and performance coaching.
I want to understand what's happening, what the evidence supports, and what will actually work for the person living with the plan.
How I Work
I coach. I don't prescribe.
I've trained with IHN (Impact Health Network) in bloodwork interpretation and lab analysis, menopause performance, and GLP-1 therapy. That training informs how I examine bloodwork alongside strength, performance, recovery, and the broader picture of someone's health.
My role is to identify patterns, ask better questions, and use that information to guide coaching decisions.
Diagnosis, prescribing, and medical treatment belong to licensed healthcare professionals. When something in your results warrants medical attention, I'll explain what concerns me and what I'd recommend discussing with your physician.
You can work with your own healthcare providers. I also have access to a licensed medical team for referrals when someone needs or wants that option. There's no requirement to use them.
Your coaching relationship remains with me. I review your check-ins, make the coaching decisions, and stay personally involved in your progress.
"If your numbers and your story disagree, I'll say so."

Working With Me
What I'm like to work with.
I'm blunt, I have high standards, and I'm genuinely curious about why something isn't working. If your protein is too low for what you're asking of your body, I'll tell you. Same if your training stopped challenging you a while ago, or if age is getting the blame for something nobody has looked into.
I'm also firmly on your side. You can tell me the truth about your week. Nothing you tell me gets judged. It just gets dealt with.
I'm a wife and the mother of two grown kids, and I run RESOLVE from home in Monroe, Louisiana. I coach from inside the same stage of life my clients are in, and I train through it too.
