Blending Nutritional Science, Real-Life Skills, and Nourishing Recipes for Meaningful Recovery

Samantha is a deeply compassionate and knowledgeable registered dietitian and Eating Disorder Coach who brings both professional expertise and personal insight to her work. With a step-by-step approach rooted in warmth, curiosity, and care, Sam helps individuals and families break free from harmful dieting cycles and eating disorder patterns to build a peaceful, empowered relationship with food and body.

Having worked extensively with clients facing severe medical issues, including during her time at Northwestern Cancer Center, Sam has a profound appreciation for the complexity of the human body and the courage it takes to heal. Her clinical experience has made her especially skilled at working with co-occurring chronic illnesses or medical conditions—including refeeding syndrome, severe malnutrition, and enteral nutrition support – and has deepened her commitment to individualized, science-informed care.

Sam’s approach blends evidence-based nutrition with lived experience. She draws strength and insight from her own full recovery from an eating disorder in her teenage years. This personal journey allows her to guide clients with empathy and clarity, meeting them where they are and helping them navigate each step forward with compassion and confidence.

In her work, Sam enjoys involving clients and their loved ones in practical, meaningful ways. Whether through grocery shopping, shared cooking, or offering recipes that serve as tools for both nourishment and connection, she supports her clients in building confidence and comfort around food. She believes that food is medicine and is always excited to share knowledge about how nutrition supports both physical and emotional well-being. Sam is always non-judgmental and loves her clients to be in full control of their bodies and their lives. 

Clients often describe Sam as warm, relatable, enthusiastic, energetic, and unwavering in her support. She also works closely with families and partners to help them understand how to offer effective, loving support throughout the recovery process.

**In addition, Sam also offers Life Coaching services to clients regardless of location. Coaching provides a refreshing, strength-based approach to unlocking your true potential and achieving the results that matter most to you.
