Samantha Poccia, RD

As a registered dietitian specializing in sports nutrition, particularly for runners, I work with clients to build sustainable, personalized habits that support their goals -- both sports related and personal. I’ve completed 4 marathons and 3 half marathons and am on a mission to complete all 6 World Marathon Majors (2 to go!). I understand firsthand how nutrition can make or break performance and overall well-being.

​

In our sessions, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we have open conversations about your goals, lifestyle, and challenges. I’ll meet you where you are, and together we’ll create realistic, individualized strategies to help you feel and perform your best. Clients leave sessions with clarity, confidence, and practical steps they can implement immediately.

​

I work with active individuals—especially runners—who are looking to optimize their performance, energy, and overall health through sustainable nutrition. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or chasing a marathon PR, or simply want to develop a healthier relationship with food, I’m here to guide you.

​

I'm a career changer, originally earning my B.S. from Syracuse University in Communications. After working in the marketing space for a few years, I realized my true passion for helping people in a meaningful way, which led me to nutrition. I studied at Simmons University in Boston and earned my M.S. in Nutrition with a Sports Nutrition Certification and Functional Nutrition Certification. I've worked with the Massachusetts National Guard, led nutrition presentations for various branches of military and first responders, coached clients through marathon prep, and supported clients with a variety of autoimmune conditions.  

​

Outside of work, I’m a passionate runner, traveler, and dog enthusiast. When I’m not working with clients or out on a run, you can usually find me trying new recipes or binging a show.

​

I became a dietitian because I’m passionate about helping people connect food with function, joy, and longevity. Starting my own practice allows me to build meaningful relationships with clients and create a space where they feel truly seen and supported on their journey to lasting, preventative health.
