Samantha Berkowitz, RD

Samantha is a registered dietitian who offers weight-inclusive care to individuals struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating habits, and chronic dieting. Samantha's passion for nutrition began during her undergraduate studies in Culinary Nutrition at Johnson & Wales University, where she learned about the essential role of food in overall health and well-being. During graduate school at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Samantha discovered Intuitive Eating, a philosophy that changed the way she approached nutrition and helped her heal her relationship with food, movement, and her body. This transformative experience led her to use the Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size (HAES) frameworks to help clients develop a peaceful and sustainable relationship with food and their bodies. Samantha's approach to nutrition counseling emphasizes self-compassion, body positivity, and health-promoting practices. She believes that everyone deserves to feel comfortable and confident in their bodies, regardless of shape or size, and works with clients to cultivate a positive and non-judgmental attitude towards food and their bodies. Samantha's goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their relationship with food and body and empower them to make decisions that align with their unique needs and values. Now that she has healed her relationship with food, Samantha loves to cook and bake all different types of cuisine. Her favorite cooking project currently is making different styles of fresh pasta from scratch. Soon Samantha will be spending time on a food-focused trip to Mexico City, this is something she never would have been able to enjoy without the conscious decision to heal her relationship with food :)
