A little About Sam

Hi! I'm Sam! I've been going strong in my ED recovery for 16 years now. Trust me, when I got out of treatment, working with ED's was the last thing on my mind, so I became an esthetician. It wasn't until 2016 that the idea for Safe Sam's came to life while trying to help my best friend Amanda recover from her ED. Amanda is unfortunately no longer with us, but I know is with me every step of the way in creating everything that Safe Sam's is and will be. In 2018, I started working in the field with eating disorders professionally with nursing and admissions. Depending on which treatment center you have attended, you may recognize me! I then went on to case management, facility management, and now I get the really cool gig of working with alumni! I run weekly support groups and meal support groups through the company I currently work for, and love to help families when their loved one is struggling. I didn't take the traditional path of becoming an RD, or a Therapist, just someone with a passion for helping others and their families heal. I truly did not realize when I was creating Safe Sam's, that it would blossom into a brand that helps to heal, in a much bigger way! I hope my non-traditional ways of breaking into this field will inspire you to know that you can recover, you can give back, you can heal, and you can make a tremendous difference by just simply being you and working hard!
