Balance | Restore | Flourish
Hello Slow Down is a grounded, real approach to holistic health. Created by Sam, a qualified Clinical Nutritionist, it blends evidence based practice with deep body awareness. With a keen focus on whole body health, Sam’s approach looks beyond food, recognising that health is influenced by many factors — from daily routines and stress levels to relationships and self-talk. She works closely with her clients to explore all aspects of life, helping them create lasting habits that align with their individual needs and values.
She believes that health isn’t about quick fixes or rigid protocols but about building a deeper awareness of what the body needs and learning to make sustainable choices that support long-term well-being.
At the core of her practice is a deep respect for the effort it takes to make meaningful changes. Sam understands that improving health can be challenging, but she also believes it’s in those moments of persistence and self-discovery where lasting growth happens. She’s there to offer guidance, encouragement, and practical tools to make the process feel more manageable and rewarding.

My name is Sam and I’m the person behind Hello Slow Down. I’m an ocean dweller, sunshine chaser and wholefood enthusiast. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Health Science in Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine. In a nutshell this means I work to understand the biochemistry of what makes you you and I translate the science of holistic health all so you don’t have to.
I’m your cheerleader, your teammate, your biggest fan. Why? Because I understand that reaching health goals isnt about what I say or prescribe, it’s about the work you do. And doing the work, making changes, that’s really, really hard, but it’s also where the magic happens. So I’m here to ask you to slow down, to listen to your body, and my goal is to make it as fun and as effortless as possible.
I’m a Holistic Clinical Nutritionist, which is a mouthful. I believe the holistic part is imperative because food is only part of the story when it comes to wellbeing. How you spend your day, who you interact with, the stories you tell yourself, these are all factors that affect long term health outcomes. It will never just be about food when we work together, we’ll go deep on all areas of your life because at the end of the day I want you to walk away feeling good about yourself with the tools and understanding of what positive health means for you!
