About
Working with me, you will learn about your own personal balance, what your body needs, and what works best for you in your current lifestyle in a way that develops new long-term, sustainable, healthy habits. Balance, sustainability and freedom come from the idea that when a person finds their own, personal best dietary balance that this diet will be easily sustained and thus generate longevity. This sustainable diet becomes part of one's lifestyle and ultimately leads to a feeling of freedom and ease surrounding food consumption.
Sam works with clients from a range of backgrounds with various nutritional needs, specialising in disordered eating, sports nutrition, and chronic disease, as well as the paediatric population on fussy eating, growth and development and neurodivergence. Using evidence-based practice, Sam meets clients and their families where they are at to provide realistic and practical advice and strategies.
Approach: Evidence-based, practical and realistic; meets clients where they are at; non-restrictive, balance and sustainability focused; warm and family-friendly
