About Samantha

Love of nutrition and health has guided my career, leading me to 16 years as a Registered Dietitian. I hold an MS in Nutrition Science from the University of Alabama and I bring clinical hospital experience and outpatient practice to my work here in Nashville. As an RDN and LDN with CNSC training, I have the knowledge base to serve as a resource for you. Outside of work I recharge hiking, listening to podcasts, and reading.

Approach to care

I focus on sustainable habits and whole-person wellness rather than quick fixes. We'll translate research into clear, actionable steps, and I’ll teach you the why behind each change. Together we’ll build practical skills, track progress with empathy, and prioritize lasting results.

Your first session with Samantha

Expect a gentle, no-pressure conversation where we review your current habits, routines, and relationship with food. We'll talk about what matters to you, what has and hasn't worked, and set one or two short-term goals we can realistically start together. You don't need perfect answers or detailed logs, just honesty about your day-to-day. I'll help you leave with clear, manageable next steps and a plan we can adjust as we go.
