About Samantha

Hi, I am Sam and I have been educating and counselling clients for over 6 years. I am grateful to meet with future clients to help them reach their nutrition goals and provide the appropriate interventions/solutions to help them feel satisfied and heard. Nutrition is so important for our overall health, but I understand life can get busy and nutrition might be placed on the back burner. My job is to make nutrition easy and fun! I specialize in weight loss, Diabetes, cancer, heart and kidney disease, food intolerance/allergies and gut health/issues, nutrition support. I am from Philadelphia, PA but have lived in several different states including Delaware and Texas. I love to travel and meet people from different places around the world, so I can increase my knowledge about their culture/cuisine.

Approach to care

I know that every person is unique and individualized. I want to understand the full picture for your visit and why you chose to speak with a dietitian. I can then tailor our session to your specific needs. My main goal is to listen and find a solution for your concerns that best fits for you. I believe it is important for the client to feel comfortable. I am hoping to build trust and be able to show you that I am here to support you in your nutrition journey.

Your first session with Samantha

Our first session with be very relaxed and we can take the time to get to know one another (I will probably talk about my pets at one point). I will ask you about your health/nutrition history, dietary concerns/challenges, dietary preferences/lifestyle. After gathering all of that information, we can start a plan and set realistic goals that you will meet! I am hoping after our first session we can build a rapport and continue that throughout the rest of our visits. I am very excited to meet you!
