About Me

My Story

Hello, my name is Sam and I’m a Holistic Health Coach based in Brooklyn, NY. 

My journey towards whole body health hasn’t been an easy one, but it has guided me towards a life full of connection and purpose.

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease at a young age and it completely changed my world. My lifestyle and food habits shifted dramatically, but with some practice I got the hang of navigating my new diet. As I reached adulthood, I thought I had everything tied up in a bow… I was eating clean, dancing professionally, and training clients daily. But, four years ago everything took a turn for the worse. 

I was diagnosed with SIBO, leaky gut, severe dysbiosis, and candidiasis. These manifested as cystic acne, chronic infection, insomnia, night sweats, fatigue, disordered eating, and debilitating depression. I was chronically sick, injured easily, and found myself more symptomatic the more I tried. Most of all, I was frustrated that my idea of a healthy life had led me there. 

Working with a functional medicine practitioner I made strides in my journey, but never felt 100%. I felt like something was lacking, so I turned everywhere for answers, seeing doctor after doctor, and specialist after specialist. No protocol seemed to stick. I needed a new way to tackle my health and to be my own best advocate, since no one knew my body better than I did. 

I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in 2021 and have since then worked tirelessly alongside my doctors to continue my healing journey holistically. Having the knowledge to tune in and understand myself on what feels like a cellular level has given me the agency to fight for my health in a new way. The understanding that health is not just what we eat, but what we do for ourselves, the grace we afford our bodies and minds, and the community we keep to support us on our journey can be the difference between a life of sickness and a life of vitality. 

Although I am still healing and constantly learning, I am excited to share my toolbox with you, hoping that we will all find joy on the road to whole body health.
