Struggling with disordered eating, chronic dieting, meal planning stress, body image, or a medical condition that impacts your nutrition can take a toll on your health and wellbeing. But you don't have to figure it out on your own.

Hi! My name is Samantha and I am a Registered Dietitian and owner of Ridgeline Dietetics. I take a real-world approach with optimizing food as a tool to aid in reaching your goals. When it comes to eating habits, too often individuals feel they have to be perfect — like they are walking on the ridgeline of a steep mountain and one wrong step would send their goals toppling off a cliff. While we do need to be intentional, we do not have to be perfect to reach our goals.

Healing begins inside you. A doctor is a therapist and also an educator. A patient is a student and also a self-healer. Healing is teamwork and is not dependent on only one party. Patients who have failed using other therapies, and now are interested in alternative medicine. However, Chinese medicine is never an alternative. It is an ancient medicine that views the human body and illness from a different perspective. You may have had experiences before where you are not able to solve a problem but you suddenly found your solution by looking at it from a different angle.
