About Sam

Following a demanding 20-year career in marketing, Sam was diagnosed with post-viral ME/CFS in 2013 in addition to having Hashimoto’s Disease (hypothyroidism). Disappointed with the lack of support from conventional healthcare, she was inspired to study Nutritional Therapy at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION).

Putting her training into practice aided her own recovery and now Sam is passionate about helping others unravel and address the many potential causes of their fatigue so they can increase their energy and reclaim their lives.

Sam knows what it feels like to barely be able to function due to fatigue, to wonder if you’ll ever work again and whether life will ever be the same, but also knows that with the right help, improved energy and quality of life is possible.

Trained in the Functional Medicine approach: highly personalised, holistic and science-informed, Sam’s particular areas of interest are THYROID conditions and ME/CFS, post-viral fatigue and Long Covid. Her approach recognises the interplay of the digestive, endocrine, nervous and immune systems in these complex conditions.

Sam is also a Referral Practitioner with The Chrysalis Effect, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia Recovery Specialists, and a member of The Thyroid Collective, founded by Jules Chandler, The Thyroid Expert.

Sam works with:

  • ME

  • Chronic fatigue syndrome

  • Fibromyalgia

Testimonials

"Working with Sam has been life-changing for me."

"At the start of Sam’s programme, I was in a right mess – exhausted and permanently fatigued, experiencing rampant food intolerances, problems with memory concentration and focus, a non-functioning sleep cycle and an inability to make decisions. Now, six months later, I am starting to enjoy life again: planning to move house in the next year, able to sleep through the night sometimes and wake rested, able to eat a wider range of foods consistently without becoming ill afterwards, still weary but without the chronic exhaustion that was so debilitating.
Working with Sam has been life-changing for me. She is an able listener and effective at adjusting the pace of the programme to work with my super-sensitive system. Working with her feels like a partnership – her objectivity, extensive knowledge and experience allied to my willingness to do what it takes." - A

 

"Sam has been a godsend…"

"I have a 'borderline' underactive thyroid and I wanted to try and avoid taking medication for as long as possible. I don't suffer with too many 'typical' underactive thyroid symptoms, however my system was very sluggish and I just felt like I needed an energy boost.

Sam has been a godsend, I thought I knew a lot about the thyroid but I have learnt so much from her and she explains it all so well without blinding me with science! My symptoms have improved and I feel like the old me again having made a few dietary changes and starting a supplement regime that supports me at the moment. Sam answers any questions I have, however silly they might seem and always follows up with an email (which I value especially as I suffer with brain fog from time to time)." - Toria
