  • SIBO + Hormones + Weightloss Client

    “Working with Sam is working with a health coach, teacher, and friend all in one. For the first time in 2 years I feel I finally have a grip on the things happening to my body that I went to Sam for including SIBO/gut imbalance, hormone imbalance, and parasite cleansing. For the first time in YEARS I finally feel more back in control of my own body. GI doctors, dermatologists, primary care docs, you name it…no one was looking at my issues holistically when I knew in my heart it was all interconnected. I got that validation when I started working with Sam. No longer overwhelmed by what food and supplements to put in my body to heal. No more gut pain/constant bloating, excessive acne, irregular bowel movements, etc. and I even got my period back after years of being on an IUD and being told it's “normal" to never get mine. Sam is exactly what she says she is - a holistic health coach. I couldn’t have made it to where I am now without her. I still have a long journey to go to heal, but knowing I have Sam as a resource in my corner makes me feel empowered to keep going!”

  • PCOS + Weight loss Client

    "My three month coaching experience with Sam was truly the most wonderful experience. I went into the program hoping to learn more about balancing my hormones, becoming more in tune with my body, and maintaining a healthy weight. However, I came away with so much more. Over three months, Sam supported me in transitioning off the pill and finding the right supplements to support my PCOs diagnosis and hypothyroidism. I also learned how to cook healthy, nutritious, and yummy meals. My relationship with exercise has changed and it is no longer something I look at as something I must do but that I want to do because my body is craving it. I have learned how to slow down in my day and find time for meditation and journaling. I finally feel true balance in my life. I am physically, mentally, and emotionally stronger. I am beyond grateful for Sam. Her knowledge, support, and kindness are like no other."

  • Weightloss + Hormone Client

    “Sam's detox made me drop 5lbs just in 3 days!”

  • Weightloss Client

    “In just a little over 1 month working with Sam, I was able to unlock something that years of therapy never was able to do.”

    - Elizbeth A.

  • Hormone Client

    “I went off of birth control because of you and feel more connected to my body than ever before. Plus, I also was able to get my period back instantly!”

    - Lauren S.

  • Weightloss Client

    “I cannot recommend working with Sam enough! I was initially scared to make the investment in myself but I’m so glad I did. I went in focusing on weight loss but I got out SO much more and I think that is what makes Sam stand out. Not only did I lose 20 pounds in 3 months and learn skills to help me continue to lose weight healthily and keep it off, but we also dove into aspects on why I got here in the first place, did a LOT of work around self love, self acceptance, and how that all ties back into whether or not you can reach your goals. This ended up being so much more than a weight loss journey for me. I have gained more confidence in myself over the last 3 months from the work that we did internally and that is priceless!”

  • SIBO + Parasites Client

    “Omg MISS SAM!! Thank you so much. I deal with a lot of stomach issues, IBS, Gluten sensitivity, etc. Before the detox I felt sluggish, unmotivated to workout and very bloated and puffy everywhere. I was looking for something to kick me into gear and to feel better in the new year. I didn’t know it yet but a detox was just the answer. After only a week of being on it, I felt a new sense of energy, was able to sleep better, and had motivation to move my body more. After the two weeks were up, I had lost weight, had less anxiety and my stomach issues were subsided. I’m so happy I did the detox and will definitely be doing more in the future. Sam was so helpful and answered any question or concerns I had and made me feel supported. I recommend this program to everyone!”

  • Holistic Coaching + Hormone Health

    Trying not to exaggerate when I say our call turned my life around. I'm so happy to let you know I've officially taken my life back. It seems ridiculous looking back, but I really needed our talk to let myself turn things around and let go of the anxiety. I'm loving my space again, I'm walking to my bathroom at night confidently and without my heart racing. I'm journaling, doing things with friends and don't feel like I'm underwater anymore. I even saw a cockroach (dead because of the spray) the other day in my living room and I calmly took it outside, chalked it up to me leaving my door open and have not stressed about it since. It's out of my control and that's that. So ridiculous but truly thank you I needed this push and I feel like a human again thanks to you :) - Rosie M.

  • Transitioning off birth control

    “Sam truly saved me from the pill. I was very intimidated coming off after being on for almost 15 years. From Day 1, she made the process so much more approachable with her wealth of knowledge. With her guidance and support, I was able to have a regular cycle (something that wasn’t there before) after coming off the pill. This program has truly changed my life for the better and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, Sam!!!!”

    - Taylor L.

  • SIBO + Getting period back

    “This was the absolute best thing I have ever done for myself and my health in life. Not only did I get the result of a perfectly functioning gut and my period back, but I also felt this experience make its way into the other parts of my life as well.

    I think a lot of these reviews cover that Sam fixed their hormones and their health issue, which is true, but I think what I wanted to mention was that my overall life and enjoyment of life are worlds better from where I started 6 months ago. It has allowed a sense of freedom and happiness that I feel each morning when I wake up. It got rid of the stress and guilt around living life imperfectly.

    Working with Sam was never about what I had to "cut out" of my life in order to feel better; it was more about what I enjoy and what I "bring more" of into my life in order to truly flow and connect with myself. She allowed me to be myself, live outside of the typical "health" box, while also somehow making me a calmer, healthier, and happier version of myself, while I was able to stay true to my stage in life (in my 20's) and my lifestyle.

    Lastly, if I were to put all of what I learned into one word, it would be balance. This is true balance that I have found within my own life, and I am so thankful I have truly learned how to understand this and flow through my personal experience in life. Thank you, Sam!!!”

  • Holistic Hormone Healing

    “Sam is very down to earth, easy to connect with. Her passion for women’s health is felt deeply. She will work with you to help you feel more empowered on your health journey and achieve your goals.”

  • Holistic Hormone Healing

    Before working with Sam I had “random” chronic symptoms for YEARS that I just settled for as part of who I am because nothing ever resolved the migraines, the mood swings, & the stomach issues from the root. Not only did Sam effectively show to me (through real results) that all of these “random” symptoms are connected at the root of hormone imbalance, but she held a new standard for me. 

    Sam changed my world when she said “just because these can be “normal” hormonal symptoms does not need to mean they are YOUR normal.” With Sam’s signature belief-body-emotional approach, combined with her wealth of technical knowledge, Sam helped me to build a new lifestyle routine that I never thought I was capable of… a lifestyle routine rooted in self worth. 

    Right before I started working with Sam I was hustling so hard in my business but keep hitting wall (when I’d completely lose all self belief/motivation every Luteal phase). Sam looked at me right when we started and said, “I think when you get your hormones balanced, your business will really take off -- you’ll finally have your rhythm back for real momentum in your abundance.” In the most unexpectedly ways, my business blossomed while working with Sam because I finally had my energy and stable beliefs back— not to mention the new set of lifestyle routines that held the next version of me. 

    Leaving this season of work with Sam, I now see hormones as the #1 baseline that every woman should prioritize not just for her healthy journey-- but for her life at large”

Women’s Group Coaching Program

  • "The hormone workshop was truly such a gift. I was able to kickstart my health journey and really get back to focusing on my hormones and my cycle. That part alone was so vital to tune into my body and figure out what's out of sync. I also got really inspired to start cooking for myself again and making myself nourishing meals that will help my energy and hormones. After three weeks of group calls, I left feeling motivated to show up for myself. It was beyond impactful to do this all with the support of other women. Being able to see we all face so much of the same struggles with very comforting and allowed a ripple effect to occur that helped me be more compassionate with myself. Don't hesitate, take this course! "

    Kellyn L.

  • "I struggled to show up for myself during the 2 weeks, because I was struggling with depression but it taught me that even the smallest changes can make a big difference. This program has helped me to pay more attention to supplements and food and being more active and less passive about where I’m at in life"

    Melissa V.

  • "Biggest takeaway was how common it is for other women to feel out of control internally. Felt very validating and was proud that I dedicated time to my health instead of something social or scroll coping. Loved being able to connect with other women and learned so much about myself! "

    Libby W.

  • "It was helpful to spend time thinking about endocrine disrupted and things I can do to decrease my exposure. Just being more aware of my cycle has been a huge help. I’m actually not as irregular as I thought!! Very impactful being able to differentiate hormone related emotions vs emotions from external things."

    Jessie J.

  • "Sam is an amazing women’s health coach! She is so knowledgeable about holistic health and how every system of our bodies are connected. I loved how she created a safe space for a community of women to share, connect and support each other. Also loved the resources she provided, like fun healthy recipes. I definitely recommend working with her!"

    Devon L.

  • "I loved the newsletters you were sending out with recipes and tips and your support! Def got me thinking of what small changes I can make every day like the lemon water even during a time of intense overwhelm. I love the shift in mindfulness these bring me. Always such a nice reset either mentally or physically or both. For me this was a good gentle/gradual nudge to continue the path of learning and taking steps towards bettering myself and my health. Health is wealth baybayyy."

  • Meal Plans + Dinner Parties

    “I have had the pleasure of both experiencing Sam's meal plan as well as attending two of her dinner parties. Her meal plan was delicious, easy to heat up, and exactly what I needed to maintain a healthy diet. It was a huge timesaver!

    As for her dinner parties, everything has been incredibly seamless from inception (she sends out a survey to create the meal based on dietary needs and preferences) to execution (so much delicious food and exceptional service). The atmosphere is always wonderful- it is so nice to have a cheery and wonderful chef/host who explains the meal prior to serving! I can't wait for the next one! Sam is so talented- no matter who you are, Sam is your girl!”

    -Merrit V.

  • Holistic Health Coaching

    “Sam is so gifted in the kitchen and is one of the best health coaches I've ever worked with! I loved eating Sam's food - mealtime was the highlight of my day! Her dishes are so creative and make eating healthy super easy & fun.

    She is also super mindful of dietary restrictions which was so helpful since I was gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, and vegan :) Everything tasted amazing!!”

    -Sophie D.

  • Meal Plans + Dinner Parties

    “Sam hosted a dinner party and wow-- the food was amazing! Everything was prepared with such thoughtfulness and attention to detail. All of the ingredients were fresh and flavorful and she made the healthiest meals so delish. I went back for seconds on multiple items. Some people at the event had dietary restrictions and San ensured that they were able to eat each course and made special accommodations that we really appreciated. (Not many chefs offer that!)

    There was plenty of food for everyone which was great because very little (if anything) went to waste and everyone was so satisfied.

    It was the perfect night, great atmosphere, and the most amazing, nourishing dinner. If you're looking for a chef for events or private cooking, don't hesitate-- work with Sam. As an added bonus you can really tell that she loves sharing her craft and has a wealth of knowledge about food and nutrition which is really cool! 10/10”

  • Detox Meal Plan

    “Great detox and reasonably priced. Love Sam's energy and the food was really good. Didn't feel like a detox.”

    -Sheryl S.

  • Yoga + Sculpt Classes

    “Sam has nailed the blend of a power sculpt with the foundations of yoga. She never teaches the same class twice integrating all classes new static and dynamic moves with fun music the whole time. Sam makes you work hard and constantly reminds you to turn on the right areas of your body to work smarter. She keeps her yogis on our toes and never disappoints. I literally always look forward to taking classes from her.”

    -Sammy F.

  • Hormone Health Coaching

    I have been working with Sam for years and she has been an amazing support. She coached me through different hornmonal changes and has been so incredibly helpful. Not to mention, she makes delicious, healthy and nutrient dense meals. Highly recommend Sam!”

  • Parasite Detox + Weightloss Coaching

    “…I know this isn’t the total goal for the parasite detox, but I’ve lost 6lbs since I started and that was definitely a goal for me.. I’m so excited!”

    -Elizabeth A.

  • Detox Meal Plan + Weightloss

    “It felt good to be intentional coming off of such an indulgent eating period. I was not able to stick with this being the only food - not because I was hungry but more because I have some habits to work out of with sugar, carbs, snacking etc. When I was eating your food, that made me feel like I was doing my body a huge favor and it was tasty so that was great. And I lost 5lbs!”

    -Alyson A.

  • Nutrition Meal Plans

    “Sam - I can’t begin to tell you how delicious your food is! It was so nice to have someone else do the work and just enjoy your meals. You were so very accommodating with my special needs as well as Sherri’s program. I thank you for sharing your recipe for pesto spaghetti squash, although I doubt it will be a good as yours!!!”

    -Lisa M.

  • Detox Meal Plans

    “This was the first detox that didn’t make me feel sick to my stomach. It tasted so good I followed it by three more days! (Glad I had the recipes downloaded) The tea was a little hard in the morning first thing but I did it. I liked it later in the day better. Sam, this was a perfect way to start the new year. I can’t wait to get more instruction from you. Wish you were in Marin for food delivery as I’m sure if your detox tasted this good your chef prepared meals are out of this world.”

    -Pamela A.

  • Detox Meal Plans + Weightloss

    “I really enjoyed the detox. The gut salad was DELICIOUS and truly held me over for most of the day."

  • Parasite Detox

    “Sam guided me through her holistic Parasite Detox program this January. I set out to improve my mind-gut connection and regain my energy. Sam's program did just that for me!

    Sam started the program with an educational component where her depth of knowledge left me feeling confident and prepared. The program was well-structured and easy to follow. Not to mention the recipes she put together- so delicious! I also appreciated the ongoing support provided by the program's community which helped me feel reassured when I felt new sensations in my body. This program has given me a renewed sense of well-being and vitality! goes here.”

    -Isabella A.

  • Holistic Health Coaching + Parasite Detox

    “During Sam’s Parasite Detox, I really learned about my body. I realized i was super inflamed! I learned how to read the labels of everything and i realized half of the ingredients are not needed. I have a new intentional mindset when eating and i only want to fuel my body with yummy healthy products! I feel like a detox I was something I was needing for a long time and I wish I did it sooner.”
