About Samantha

With experience working in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and a functional medicine clinic, I have experience working with a wide variety of patients and health concerns. I found myself drawn to working with women, and women’s issues through my experience of using nutrition to help support, and get to the root cause of hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, and other women’s health concerns. I know first-hand what it is like to be a woman who is told that something is “in my head” to later be diagnosed with a health condition and having to navigate that path, and I make it my goal to support women who have gone through something similar.

Approach to care

My approach to care is heavy on personalization. I don’t make the same recommendations for every person, as I believe that we are all different and have different needs. Those needs also change with time, and so will my recommendations. We are always growing and changing, and the same things don’t always work for the rest of our lives. I want you to feel comfortable and supported and leaving our sessions feeling a little bit better about yourself.

Your first session with Samantha

During our first session together, we will spend most of that time getting to know each other. I will tell you a little about me, and answer any questions you might have, and then we will do a deep dive into your health and nutrition history, as well as talk about everyday lifestyle, habits, and any concerns that you may have. Towards the end of the session will we start to formulate a plan together that will help you to achieve your health goals.
