Welcome to True Wellness

My name in Samantha. I live in sunny Florida with my boyfriend Hector and my dog Bentley. My passion for wellness came at a young age with an interest in exercise and medicine and eventually went to school to become a PTA which I currently do full time.

I have always been interested in wellness from a young age with playing sports growing up. However my diet was never good and I grew up very picky, eating a standard American diet with minimal fresh foods. My parents tried to get me to each vegetables however I was very stubborn. Eventually my diet caught up to me in college and I began struggling with severe IBS , food sensitives, chronic fatigue and cystic acne and was at the heaviest weight I had ever been. I was very uncomfortable and bloated all the time and struggled with depression and anxiety with worsened my symptoms. This is when I found a nutrition coach who helped me by keeping me accountable and I was able to lose 15 pounds however I was still eating very processed foods and was still struggling with stomach problems. I then started working with a holistic practitioner who helped revise my diet and got me on anti-inflammatory diet where she found I was sensitive to foods such as corn products, gluten and dairy. By eliminating these foods my acne cleared up and so did my mood and energy. We discovered my body was not producing adequate testosterone which is a key component in building and maintaining muscle as well as plays a component in energy and libido as well. In addition we found I was borderline PCOS and adrenal fatigue. With many autoimmune disorders in my family I have done a lot of research and reducing that risk I already have. Continuing to follow instruction on diet, exercise, wellness practices and supplementation and found my True Wellness and I want to help people feel this way as well. 

My job is very fulfilling however it opened my eyes to the missing pieces of what being "healthy" really means including diet and wellness practices that are also very important to living a healthy life. I have watched my family, friends and patients be affected everyday by chronic and autoimmune diseases and I want to do my part and reducing that risk for my clients and helping clients that are already affected reduce their symptoms. My goal is to help females find their True Wellness through diet , exercise, wellness practices for long term health and wellness.
