About Samantha

Hello there! My name is Samantha and I am so excited to get to know you! I was born and raised in metro Atlanta, Georgia and graduated from the University of Georgia and completed my dietetic internship at Life University in Marietta. I now reside in Southwest Florida near Sarasota. I have a background in clinical, inpatient nutrition where I worked mostly with cardiac patients, but my specialties and areas of interest include eating disorders, disordered eating, and GI disorders. My passion is to help individuals find peace with food and their body so they can then shift their focus to what brings them joy in life.

Approach to care

I follow a weight-neutral, Health at Every Size (HAES) approach. I believe that guilt and shame have no place in the kitchen and that eating should be an enjoyable part of life. I like to meet individuals where they are and create personalized plans that fit their lifestyle, budget, preferences, and culture. This is a safe space; I welcome all and am LGBTQ+ affirming.

Your first session with Samantha

We will spend the first session getting to know each other- I want to make you feel at ease so please, do not be nervous at all! We will review your goals, medical history, any recent lab work, lifestyle factors, and typical eating patterns.

Location

📍 Bradenton, Florida

Education

BS in Dietetics from the University of Georgia

Hobbies

My hobbies include designing and sewing my own clothes, painting, and anything crafty! I live on Florida's Gulf Coast and I love going to the beach and getting outdoors to explore. I also love snuggling up with my cat, Lila, and watching a good mystery/crime show. Fun Fact: I was a Cast Member at Walt Disney World briefly before becoming a dietitian! I am in the parks on both coasts as often as I can and LOVE all things Disney.
