Hi, I’m Sam! Let’s get personal because I want you to understand why I am so passionate about the work I do.
I’m a Registered Nurse and Certified Health Coach. I love hiking, dogs and pizza! I’ve always been passionate about wellness, but for many years I struggled with my relationship to food and my body.
Around the time I entered University I began comparing myself to girls around me, girls on TV, and eventually girls on Instagram. I started to believe that my body wasn’t good enough, and that if I could just eat and exercise the ‘right way’ I could achieve the ‘perfect body’. In my efforts to achieve the ‘perfect body’ I tried allllll the things - counting calories, restricting carbs, intermittent fasting, eliminating ‘bad’ foods, and exercising religiously -just to name a few.
For a long time I seriously believed there was something wrong with me, and that I couldn’t be trusted around certain types of food. In reality I was just experiencing a very normal reaction to all the rules and restrictions. I spent so much time worrying about food and my body that I forgot to just enjoy life. I became SO frustrated by all the conflicting nutritional advice out there.
Then I discovered health coaching and began a life changing journey. I finally learned to tune out the external noise and trust my own body.
Learning to love and trust myself has completely changed the way I experience food, my body and life in general.
Now I feel connected to my body, and a deep sense of gratitude for all the amazing things it allows me to do - like play with my dog, explore nature, connect with others and chase my dreams! My relationship with food is so completely different from what it used to be. Now, I simply eat what I enjoy in a way that makes me feel good! I no longer experience guilt or stress around food. I’m currently living in Toronto with the love of my life and our adorable fur baby, Kirby. I’ve finally learned to slow down, and find a sense of calm within. I know what brings me true joy and I’m not afraid to go after it.
I want to help you to live a more beautiful and vibrant life!
