Samantha Berkowitz is a registered dietitian and founder of SammiB Nutrition, a private practice that offers weight-inclusive care to individuals struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating habits, chronic dieting, and anyone seeking a non-diet-focused dietitian.
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. She further pursued her interest in public health and dietetics, earning her Master of Public Health and completing her dietetic training at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
During her graduate studies, 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 create SammiB Nutrition, where she uses 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 mindful eating 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.
Through telehealth services, Samantha is able to work with clients across the country (in select states). Her goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their relationship with food and body, and to empower them to make decisions that align with their own unique needs and values.
