Welcome!
I'm Sam and it's so nice to meet you! I'm a Registered Dietitian (RD) with a functional nutrition approach. I work with women with IBS, SIBO, endometriosis and PCOS. I'm based in Vancouver, but my office is virtual so I'm able to work with clients all across British Columbia.
​
My approach is holistic, because I recognize that your health is one big interconnected web. The unfortunate truth is many people suffer from multiple conditions, but our healthcare system often treats each one individually. Did you know that 10 to 52% of women with endometriosis also battle with IBS? In my practice I consider your full health history, to provide you with a personalized path to symptom relief.
​
I get it
Just like you, I too deal with endometriosis, PCOS, and IBS.
As someone who personally understands the frustrations of dealing with a chronic illness, it's become my mission to help others who feel like they've fallen through the cracks of our healthcare system feel seen, heard, and get the help they need.
There is strong evidence on the role of nutrition in managing IBS, functional gut disorders, endometriosis, and PCOS. But, healing isn't a once sized fits all journey, and I believe it often requires a multi-disciplinary approach. That's why I collaborate with naturopaths, pelvic floor physiotherapists, massage therapists, and psychologists in your community, when needed.
I'd be honoured to be a part of your circle of care and work together to navigate your health journey.
