About Samantha

Hi, I’m Samantha. I’m a Registered Dietitian with 3 years of experience, holding a Masters of Dietetics and Nutrition from The Ohio State University and a Bachelor’s in Applied Health Science Dietetics from Indiana University Bloomington. I’ve worked in sports nutrition, clinical hospital settings, and community health, which helps me tailor guidance for athletes, patients in care, and community members alike. My postnominals reflect my commitment to ongoing learning and evidence-based practice. When I’m not working, you’ll find me tending my plants, cooking, or exploring new places while traveling. I’m here to support you with warmth, realism, and a steady hand as we begin your journey together.

Approach to care

I believe care should be collaborative, gentle, and grounded in science. My approach blends evidence-based strategies with a holistic view of you as a whole person, not just a set of numbers. We’ll translate research into practical steps that fit your life, aiming for lasting change over quick fixes. I practice with a weight-neutral, HAES-informed mindset, meeting you where you are and focusing on sustainable habits, not restriction. Education is central so you feel confident making informed choices, and I’ll be right there with you every step of the way.

Your first session with Samantha

Our first appointment is all about you and what you want to achieve. We’ll review your medical history, daily routines, and past experiences with food and nutrition in a judgment-free space. Think of it as a conversation, not an evaluation. Together we’ll identify 1–2 short-term goals that feel doable and meaningful, and I’ll outline simple steps to get started. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet; just show up as you are, and we’ll build a plan you can actually follow.
