Hi, I'm Sam, and I love food.
I'm a health coach and food lover, and I believe that food is medicine. I'm here to support, educate and encourage you to improve your life through food, exercise and self care.
How does it work?
I am a national board certified health and wellness coach. My goal is to help you identify and change or modify behaviors that you feel are keeping you from living your best like. I’ll help you customize a plan that's unique to you, integrating new healthy habits that suit your lifestyle.
LIFESTYLE ANALYSIS
We'll take a deep dive into your existing habits, and seek out areas to improve.
WEEKLY CHECK-IN
We'll take time each week to evaluate your progress, modify and shift existing goals as well as set new ones.
TEXT & EMAIL
Unlimited support through text and email, whether it's to help choose food at a restaurant or a nudge to work out.
RECIPES & MORE
We'll find ways to incorporate cooking into your lifestyle, even if you hate doing the dishes and can't use your oven.
Medicine for your body and soul
Food is medicine. You may believe that Tylenol will cure your headache. But it is also possible that your headache was caused by what and how you ate that particular day and your overall stress level. Your daily interaction with your food is essential to feeling happy and healthy.
Food is social. While there is always room to make improvements and practice better habits, there should be plenty of room to enjoy and indulge with people you love. Finding balance between your lifestyle and healthy living is the ultimate goal. How you eat is as important as what you eat. Chicken Soup for the Soul is a real thing!
Chocolate is great. 'Chocolate' was one of my first words. It's main ingredient, Cacao, is a superfood. I must have been on to something...
A word from my clients
Ariane
At the suggestion of my esthetician, I sought to find a health coach who could help me explore the cause of my cystic/hormonal acne. Sam is the perfect fit! We quickly discovered that dairy and gluten were the culprits and she continues to be a strong support in moments of (cheese craving) weakness! She shared great recipes and food planning ideas. Not only did Sam analyze my eating and exercise habits, we discussed my life goals and relationships. She used our time wisely and honed in on finding some all around balance. Sam couldn't have have popped into my life at a better time.

I have been a vegetarian since age 7, and finding the right balance of nutrients has always been a challenge for me, from iron deficiencies to weeks subsisting on grilled cheese. Only since working with Sam, have I been able to make meaningful changes in my diet and exercise, and I see a significant positive impact in how I feel, my energy level, and how I approach eating as a source of nutrition and medicine while keeping the fun stuff, too. 🍕🍕

Sam kicked me into gear unlike anyone has before. She was super attentive and personalized suggestions to make healthy adjustments to my diet and lifestyle. She found options for me on seamless near home and work and found me the right things to snack on while I travelled. As much or as little communication as I wanted and always very thoughtful with her counsel every time we spoke of texted. I’m feeling better, looking better and have Sam to thank!

Sam helped me analyze my current eating habits and health goals in order to come up with a full customized plan in order for me to lose weight and eat healthier. She came up with specific shopping lists and ideas for what to eat during each meal and snack, and she also changed the way I look at my overall health. Sam figured out habits of mine that I didn't even know existed! She also took the time to really understand my needs and listen to me, and then was able to come up with something that was realistic and attainable for me. Thank you, Sam, for coaching me through this AND for following up to make sure I stick to everything we have been discussing.

Working with Sam has been one of the best experiences with a health professional I have ever had. For someone who has had issues with food and weight for the large majority of their life it was wonderful to come into a space/relationship with someone who not only listened to what my goals were, but was also eager to break down why past efforts failed and tackle a healthy lifestyle in a manner that was achievable and sustainable. I have a rather hectic work life that has me working long hours in various parts of the world and Sam has been a wonderful force in helping me compartmentalize the various pieces of my day-to-day so that I can keep on track with my longterm goals. She has also listened to me express certain frustrations and from those is able to help designate where they stem from and how best to remedy them. In short, I started working with Sam as a means to tackle physical health and it has organically grown into a full 360º coaching experience that is focused not just on the work we do but how I feel while we do it. A+++
