Meet Samer Hassan
Samer Hassan is the creator of Somatic Thinking™, a published coaching methodology, and a Master Certified Coach (MCC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). In 2019 he received the ICF's Young Leader in Coaching award.
He began in martial arts more than thirty years ago and carried one question from there into coaching: how does a person recover their drive from within, rather than from a teacher outside them? With that question he has conducted more than ten thousand one-to-one coaching sessions. Through Kun Coaching Academy, which he founded and leads from Dubai, he has helped train 1000+ coaches across 15+ countries in three languages. He co-authored the peer-reviewed Coaching Presence (McGraw-Hill, 2021) and wrote From Balance to Baraka (2025).
In a session with him, the objective is yours. He does not hand you an answer from outside you; he listens and accompanies until you hear your own. People come to him when the question is larger than a situation: who you are, what all of it is for, and where this chapter of your life is going. If you want to find out whether this path is yours, the exploration session is free: twenty minutes in which you hear how he works, and he hears what you are carrying.
If you are a coach, mentoring with him is a different kind of work. In coaching you work on your objective; in mentoring you work on your practice. He holds the ICF Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS) and accompanies coaches toward their ICF credentials, with clear feedback measured against the core coaching competencies.
His courses open the methodology to anyone who wants to learn it from its creator, beginning with Introduction to Somatic Thinking (STI). Ask him about his role in all of it and he will give you the line he signs with: "A companion on the path, not a leader of it."

What clients say
May God bless you, Coach Samer, and grant you more of His success and generosity. The coaching session with you lifted a heavy burden off my shoulders. Your patience and open heart with me, may God give you strength. I came out knowing my weak points, and I reached the goal I had set with you in the session. I am happy with the coaching session, and you have my deepest thanks and gratitude 💐
All my thanks and gratitude, Coach Samer, for the blessings and lessons I took away from the session. It widened my awareness of certain points in myself. May God reward you with the best of this life and the bliss of the next.
