Hi, I’m Sam, the heart and mind behind Hello Slow Down. 

I’m all about nervous system regulation, so you’ll find me in the ocean before 7am most days. I’m a degree-qualified holistic clinical nutritionist. This means I work to understand the biochemistry of what makes you, you, then explain it in a way that clicks. 

Why Hello Slow Down? Life these days moves at lightning speed, bombarding us with responsibilities, information and overwhelm. I, like you, am not immune to this. I’m constantly seeking more ways to slow my mind and body down, and drop into a calibrated nervous system that feels balanced and robust. So the name is an invitation to us all to move a little more slowly. 

As a nutritionist, I’m your cheerleader, your teammate, your biggest fan. I understand that reaching health goals isn’t about what I say or prescribe, it’s about the work you do. And doing the work, making changes, that’s 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, always, is to make it as fun and as doable as possible.

I believe the holistic part matters in the work we do, 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 how you feel and show up in the world. When we work together, we’ll go deep on all areas of your life because I want you to walk away from our sessions feeling alive, energetic and knowing how to look after and treat yourself.
