Happy Food - San Diego, California

I'm very happy with my experience with Sam at Happy Food. I went in needing to lower cholesterol and improver a few other blood work issues. I like how she approaches nutrition & health as a lifestyle not a diet. Diets come & go while lifestyle is a way of life. She's very encouraging & takes into account your specific goals, habits, dietary requirements & you as a person. I'm very happy with my results & I highly recommend Happy Food no matter your health and goal.

I highly recommend Sam as a nutrition coach. She is reliable and always available when I need support or guidance. Her organizational skills make the entire process seamless, providing clear plans and strategies that are easy to follow. Most importantly, she approaches her work with genuine compassion, truly understanding my needs and offering personalized advice without judgment. Her dedication has made a significant difference in my health journey, and I’m so grateful for her expertise and care!

Sam has magic powers! Ok maybe not real magic, but I mean magic for my life. For years and years I went about weight loss with a quick fix attitude. There wasn’t a diet I wouldn’t try and then I’d rebound and lose hope. My husband suggested working with Sam and I remembered signing up for her emails years before so I figured why not. She helped me unpack so many emotional roadblocks, gave me a wealth of information tailored to what my goals and obstacles were. I loved her approach to starting each session with successes. She really helped me shift my mindset and I have learned so many valuable tools that provide for a positive approach and lifestyle changes that will benefit me for life instead of a bandaid. I would highly recommend her to anyone for all sorts of nutritional needs, whether it be emotional eating or for inflammatory conditions, etc.

I am so grateful to Sam! I was looking for accountability and guidance with my eating and Sam provided more than expected. From my first consultation with Sam, I knew I found someone special. I suffer from autoimmune issues and was looking for help in how food could help support me feeling better in parallel to being on medication for the rest of my life. Sam to me acted as a life coach. She covers every area of your life. It was nice picking old habits back up (like reading and volunteering) and realizing that adding more fruits and vegetables was not that hard. There is no diet this is truly a lifestyle change. I met with Sam for 6 months every other week and the time flew by. Not only did Sam impact my life. My sister was watching the suggestions that Sam gave me and my sister started copying me and lost weight as well. Sam is truly a blessing and has impacted my life forever. I will forever be thankful for her service and glad she is one call away if I need help or have any questions.

Sam is exactly the person you have been looking for if you are in need of support along your personal health journey. She is open to discussing and unpacking different topics and always has a handout or research to back up what she is saying. I always look forward to my meetings with her as it feels like a slice of my day that I get to really enjoy because I get to work on myself.

Sam was a great help in my nutritional education. She provided practical tips, information and support, and helped me make small changes that have since become new habits without it felling like work. I now enjoy cooking more and trying new healthy food options without feeling like I am missing out. This program brought balance not only to my diet but to my lifestyle. I highly recommend Happy Food to anyone looking for a holistic approach to health and wellness.

I loved working with Sam! Her recipes, information handouts and diet and nutrition and guidance were very helpful for me in making changes- some small and some major shifts- in healthy eating. She helped me to “let go” of the focus of weight and BMI and shift more to healthy, clean and intuitive eating. I would highly recommend her services!

Sam is the best food therapist/counselor. She listens, encourages, teaches with compassion and wise understanding in all aspects of nutrition. It's a treat to personal growth and she was a gift to ourselves to be better and learn without pressure.

I have taken her group class and then I did a series with my husband. So I've taken her classes twice and there is always more to learn from her. Al lost 25 pounds, and we are both healthier.....ages 70 and 76. You are never too old to grow and learn!
