Samantha is a Certified Nutritional Health Coach (IIN, IPE) who specializes in helping fed up dieters who are DONE struggling with food and being unhappy with their body. She is so passionate about helping clients go from feeling discouraged and stressed out, to feeling happy and confident with their body, eating habits, and health because she’s been in your shoes. She spent many years trying to change how her body looked, obsessing and second-guessing over what/when/how much to eat, always being on track or off track with her eating habits, battling sugar/carb cravings with willpower and ultimately bingeing, and feeling hopeless. If you can relate, know that there’s a better, easier and more enjoyable way to get what you want out of life. You can look great AND feel great…without depriving yourself or feeling miserable. You really can have it all-and sooner than you might think. It’s time to call a truce, and that truce starts right here.

As an Anti-Diet Health Coach, I work with women to transform our relationships with food and body from painful stress and anxiety to scrumptious, delectable freedom.

Sandy Baker has a BA in Christian Psychology as well as twelve years counseling experience under an ecclesiastical license. Sandy is a certified Eating Psychology coach, a certified L.E.A.N. (Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, Nutrition) Health Coach and a certified BSCI (Bariatric Support Centers Int’l) instructor and Weight Loss Support Coach. She appeared on the ‘Ruby’ show (Style network) in 2009, teaching Ruby and her support group about emotional eating.

Sandy well knows the steps needed to conquer dysfunctional food behaviors, having maintained a 120 + pound weight loss since 2005. As a result of her weight and food battles, she founded COPE For Change – Childhood Obesity Prevention + Education – to help children like she was overcome weight challenges. COPE combats childhood obesity with a threefold approach – nutrition education, fitness, and behavioral health. Sandy’s enthusiastic and positive approach to life brings hope to those desperate for change.

After discovering that the root of my own chronic digestive and immune system ailments, as well as my ongoing anxiety and depression, stemmed from a severe food intolerance, I became passionate about studying nutrition. However, I quickly discovered that while nutrition is the foundation, overall health and happiness is incredibly holistic – the mind, body, heart and spirit are truly all connected. In order to truly heal, we need to find nourishment and balance in all areas of life. Studying at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating gave me the insight and tools to help my clients end their yo-yo dieting cycles, stop overeating and emotional eating, learn to love their bodies, and lose weight in a truly sustainable way. I don’t offer a quick fix to changing your body or your relationship with food, because you don’t need to be fixed! Your struggles with your body and with food do not stem from a lack of willpower or control. They are here to lead you to deeper truths about yourself that we will explore together. Through a lighthearted, compassionate, and realistic approach, I want to help you discover what your own body has been trying to tell you all along.

Passionate about mind and body health. Board certified in both family medicine and obesity medicine. Excited to share my experience and help in the journey of healing.

My journey of food, body, self-image, and weight is an old friend and teacher that I have come to accept and love. The work I have done since my teen years and into adulthood deeply informs my work as a coach. I believe we learn best by doing, so my sessions include embodiment practices such as deep breathing, dance, walking, Authentic Movement, meditation, and conscious eating. In addition to my Mind Body Eating Coaching Certification, I am certified as a Life Coach through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching, am a Master Energy Leadership Practitioner, and hold an MBA with specialties in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. My clients include people working with food, body, self-image and weight, as well as life purpose and vocation. I am passionate about helping my clients find their deepest truth and work as their ally as they manifest their most important goals in life.

I struggled with calorie counting for 10 years. I now work with women to build healthy relationships with their bodies and put an end to calorie counting, chronic dieting, and restricting.

I am a 30s-something female living in Brooklyn, New York. When I’m not traveling, working, or enjoying weekend brunch, I am at home snuggled up to my two cats and wonderful husband. My life’s mission is quite simple: I am here to explore and better understand the human experience, and in doing so, help to heal the collective. From my childhood years and on into adulthood, I have continued to be fascinated by nature, biology, inter-personal and intra-personal relationships. During my college years, I immersed myself in Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology, with a focus in Nursing. I received my RN, BSN degree and worked as a Level I Trauma ER nurse as well as a Cardiac ICU nurse. I learned how to rely on my quick intuition, and also what it meant to understand human health and well-being in its full spectrum. Needing a change of pace, I eventually found myself in the heart of corporate America as a medical device rep. While I found this to be challenging and exciting, most days I still felt like I wasn’t fully expressing my true self and my innate skills and gifts. I wanted to help people in what felt like a more connected way. I eventually returned to the wisdom of my soul.

These days I have the privilege of coaching others as they work through their challenges and create the life they know they deserve. I do this through exploring the relationships and interactions of one’s mind, body, and food. I find that these concepts are deeply connected to our experiences with safety, intimacy, love, fulfillment, and connection. Each time I work with my clients I feel not only fulfilled, but honored to be assisting them to achieve their highest expression.
