Sam helped me change my life. Prior to meeting Sam, I had been stuck in a rut. I was postpartum almost two years, and I hadn't lost the weight I had gained despite working out consistently and eating relatively healthy. It wasn't until I started working with Sam that I realized my idea of healthy, really didn't take into consideration some fundamental truths about nutrition. I quickly learned in my 1:1 sessions how I needed to pivot, and Sam helped me overcome some fears and unfounded food beliefs I had been carrying around. While I believe what Sam is doing should be provided to everyone and especially to school ages children, I am just lucky enough to have gone on Yelp, taken a chance with her, and had the absolute best 6 months of my life. Not only did Sam help me reinvent some of my eating habits, but she changed the trajectory of my health and I believe supported my fertility and conception of baby#2. I highly recommend Sam as a nutritionist, she really invests in you as a person and your healthy future. Thanks Sam! read more

My life is better in so many ways since meeting Sam! Sam has helped me focus on ME! While my initial goal was weight loss, Sam opened my eyes to so much more besides blaming it on food. She showed me how to view food differently. She showed me the how, the why, and everything in between from becoming a better eater but being a better person to myself! I have more clarity on how food affects my body, more knowledgeable about different foods, how to cook them to taste delicious, and it's ok to have a bad moment, there is no judgment. I recognize now how important sleep is and how stress builds on negative outcomes. I am mentally stronger when it comes to food that I actually read the ingredients on every label that enters my home. I am more mindful of my eating habits and eating slowly. Sam taught me to see food as medicine and that changed how I view food. Don't get me wrong, I'll have a cheat meal here and there, but I stay mindful with no judgement, and I can't thank Sam enough for instilling positive vibes and energy into my life! Sam helped me overcome, not only how to become a better eater for me, but for my family. I was also going through one of the hardest times in my life, and I could not have gotten through it without her. I HIGHLY recommend Sam! read more

Sam has magic powers! Ok maybe not real magic, but I mean magic for my life. For years and years I went about weight loss with a quick fix attitude. There wasn't a diet I wouldn't try and then I'd rebound and lose hope. My husband suggested working with Sam and I remembered signing up for her emails years before so I figured why not. She helped me unpack so many emotional roadblocks, gave me a wealth of information tailored to what my goals and obstacles were. I loved her approach to starting each session with successes. She really helped me shift my mindset and I have learned so many valuable tools that provide for a positive approach and lifestyle changes that will benefit me for life instead of a bandaid. I would highly recommend her to anyone for all sorts of nutritional needs, whether it be emotional eating or for inflammatory conditions, etc. read more

I'm very happy with my experience with Sam at Happy Food. I went in needing to lower cholesterol and improver a few other blood work issues. I like how she approaches nutrition & health as a lifestyle not a diet. Diets come & go while lifestyle is a way of life. She's very encouraging & takes into account your specific goals, habits, dietary requirements & you as a person. I'm very happy with my results & I highly recommend Happy Food no matter your health and goal. read more

Sam is a good listener, intuitive healer, and is skilled at pushing her clients towards total wellness. Not an easy task in today's busy, comfort-addicted society. I found myself slowly but firmly heading towards a more sustainable and satisfying lifestyle, and appreciated the consistent support. These kinds of life changes aren't easy and I've tried everything from self help books, to nutritionists, to all the popular quick fix diets. None of that worked .. and Sam woke me up! read more

I am 67 years old. I began working with Samantha after receiving some bad news from my doctor regarding my liver function. She provided excellent tools and support to make the dietary and lifestyle changes I needed. Of course it didn't hurt that I was willing to follow her advice, and I did. Within a month my blood work came back within in a normal range and I even lost some weight. I continued receiving coaching from Samantha and now I have lost 25 pounds and have gained confidence and improved self esteem. The best part is I look forward to trying on new clothes instead of leaving the store empty handed and depressed. Samantha has a realistic approach to food and to life and above all she is patient and kind. I am grateful for her read more

Sam works with you to create life long changes in your diet, and she makes it easy and delicious to do so. If you've tried everything and nothing has stuck, go to Sam! read more

Sam is great and fun and beneficial!!!! I have completed two series from Sam. First in a group and next with my husband. Al lost 25 pounds and we cut down on coffee, meat, alcohol, and we are still getting healthier. But the real benefit of Sam is her non threatening compassion and understanding and guidance as she quietly teaches and leads. We are 70 and 76......so it's never too late to get it right. read more

We absolutely loved working with Sam. My boyfriend and I were struggling with digestion and poor eating habits, and Sam definitely helped us get back on track health-wise. I'd definitely recommend her services if you are looking to feel better with food, health, and vitality. read more

I just started Sam's program but I'm already in love. She uses a holistic approach so right away I realized that all areas of my life are connected to my health and symptoms. Some of the information seems obvious and simple, which is all the more reason to wonder why I haven't been doing it?! Sam is that magic coach who will somehow inspire you to make life changes, without being patronizing or condescending. Her approach is all about empowering you to find what works for you and brings out your best self. I was diagnosed with GERD in 2008, and had a hard time accepting that diagnosis. I would argue with my doctor. GERD is confusing in that every persons case is a little different when it comes to trigger foods. It's overwhelming. Also, I'm a chronic meal skipper. I'm one of those "too busy to cook and eat well" people who waits until I'm hangry to find food. Right away Sam made me feel less stressed about all of it. She has a unique gift for simplifying complicated concepts. I'm really excited to continue learning from her. She's extremely organized and prompt despite being so busy. I loved her introductory session. One week in, and I already notice some major differences. In not wanting to let Sam down, I'm not letting myself down. The goals we set are realistic and achievable. I've even had some magical mindful moments from simply chewing slowly, turning off all technology, and being really present while enjoying a meal. In less than 5 days I've gone from just eating to having an entire experience with every single bite! I'm like woah...why haven't I been experiencing food like this all my life? It's amazing! I highly recommend hiring Sam to help you view eating differently. I saw it as a chore. Now, I see it as fun. read more

I am so grateful to Sam! I was looking for accountability and guidance with my eating and Sam provided more than expected. From my first consultation with Sam, I knew I found someone special. I suffer from autoimmune issues and was looking for help in how food could help support me feeling better in parallel to being on medication for the rest of my life. Sam to me acted as a life coach. She covers every area of your life. It was nice picking old habits back up (like reading and volunteering) and realizing that adding more fruits and vegetables was not that hard. There is no diet this is truly a lifestyle change. I met with Sam for 6 months every other week and the time flew by. Not only did Sam impact my life. My sister was watching the suggestions that Sam gave me and my sister started copying me and lost weight as well. Sam is truly a blessing and has impacted my life forever. I will forever be thankful for her service and glad she is one call away if I need help or have any questions. read more

If you are reading this, your heart is leading you to seek help. To shape your life in a direction you hope will change your life. You have the heart. You just don't know exactly how to do it. This change thing. Meet Sam. Do it. Meet with her in person. Your life will change now. An open letter to Samantha Hua: Dear Sam, When I walked in your door for the first time I was in crisis. I didn't say that to you. I wasn't ready to be THAT open. I was still holding on to trying to look like I was holding it together but I needed help. I needed nutrition help. I needed whole body health help. I needed mental help. Emotional help. I felt like a total mess. I didn't expect you to address the disaster that was unfolding in my mind with me, though. I never thought I'd bring it up. I didn't, that first day of course. I never thought we would go there. Or that I would be comfortable going there. I thought you'd teach me about nutrition and give me tools to be a person who considered food in a more healthful manner. And that maybe that would be a small part of my being less destructive to myself. You far surpassed every expectation I had of you. You have been a mirror to me. Showing me all of the wonderful parts of myself that have always been there. That I downplayed. Your ability to help me focus on the positive parts of me and the life I am living while creating a safe place for me to let out all of the ugly parts that I never even thought I would share with you blows my mind. You are real. And I can honestly say that I made the best choice I could have possibly made when I sat down in front of you and said, "Let's do this" at our first meeting. I didn't know it at the time. But I'm so glad that I followed my heart and chose you. EVERYTHING has shifted. There is no better person I could possibly have imagined to walk with me through this time in my life and help me become the best version of myself I could possibly be right now. I will always, ALWAYS be incredibly grateful that our paths in life crossed. And that you chose this work to be your focus. You have an incredible ability to connect with people and your approach to mind/body/spirit health is one that is unparalleled. I would say that you changed my life. But really, you inspired me and showed me how to change my own life which is far more impactful. Thank you from the very bottom of my core for doing what you do. Your passion for uplifting people lives on in me. With all of my love and gratitude, Laura read more

I've been watching my weight steadily increase over the years. I drew the line in the ground saying I wouldn't cross XX lbs. Low and behold I would cross it each time I set a new line. I finally hit 221 lbs and said that's it, I need to do something about it. That's when I stumbled across Sam at Happy Food Health Counseling. We set up a consultation and talked over my habits and goals. What I like about what she had to offer was there's no pre-made food to buy, no fad diets, no special vitamins or any hidden selling agendas, simply consulting in private or group sessions of which I chose the group for accountability reasons. I've listened to what Sam had to say and have changed my habits just enough where I can still eat the foods I love (I love food!) (in moderation of course) and have been able to consistently lose weight. So far, and this is only one month in, I've lost 10 lbs. I weighed myself today and was at 211.6 lbs, two belt notches less and the gym pants tie strings are much longer now. I'll be posting another review in about a month when I have more progress. What I thought would take 6 mos to a year has gone by much quicker than ever anticipated. So for the progress I have at the moment, THANK YOU Sam! I can't wait to get to my ideal weight. I'm sure it won't be too much longer but even then, it's worth the wait since this lifestyle change will hold hopefully hold for the rest of my life. I'm sure I might be an exception to the extreme amount I've lost, but I think anyone interested in losing weight will be able to get to their goals with Sam's help. *Update* (This is a late update I should have posted 6 months afterwards but just getting to now.) After about 6 months I was able to melt off 36lbs to a final weight of 185lbs! It was the group setting that I believe helped me continue my goals mostly because I'm the competitive type and once I commit to something publicly I make sure to see it to the end. The group setting helped also for a few other reasons. We were able to bounce off our experiences with each other, share our successes from the previous session, put forth new goals and watch each others' progress as we continued down the path to losing weight. I believe anyone can lose the weight they desire if they put their mind to it. and working with Sam helped me get the right formula for my success. It's all about whether or not we want it enough and having the right tools to make it happen. Thanks once again Sam! I'm positive you've added years to my life by showing me simple ways to eat better and live a healthier life. *PS Update* Since the weight loss, I've since picked up an interest in working out and exercising on a consistent basis. My weight flutters around 188lbs but mostly to muscle gain. I'm once again setting my goals for new levels and look forward to achieving the body I thought I could never have. I definitely needed the solid foundation I learned from Sam to help me take it to the next level. read more

I've been working with Sam for about 3 months now, and she's been awesome. She's extremely knowledgeable, and she's the perfect balance of holding me accountable (to my own goals), but also knowing when to have patience with me. :) For example, I have an extremely busy schedule & I don't like cooking (not an ideal client for a health counselor!), so Sam has gone above & beyond to bring me easy healthy recipes, and she's pushed me out of my comfort zone to try new things... but she doesn't freak out if I eat a cookie. One of my favorite things about working with her is that she brings me something to do or try in every coaching session - whether it's a book or DVD, or even a sample of some food I've never tried before. It's usually something that I never would've gone out & bought on my own (b/c I didn't know what it was, or what to do with it!), but if she hands it to me with a recipe I'll give it a whirl! So she's introduced me to some healthy new foods that I enjoy, that I otherwise might not have even tried. Working with Sam is definitely a must for anyone who's serious about getting healthy... especially if you have specific health concerns that you're trying to manage or eliminate. It's amazing what your body can do if you just give it what it needs! read more

Sam continues to earn a five star review!! I had my last session with her in August 2010, and I have easily maintained the progress I made with her assistance and guidance. I have not fallen back into old habits - though I admit I still dislike cooking and only do it as a necessity. Her follow-up is tremendously helpful and encouraging. I have also subscribed to her newsletter (I forgot to mention that in my last review) and it always has the BEST tips - I forward it to everyone I know!! Sam really is the real deal! read more

An amazing program that not only takes a holistic approach when making good food choices but also realistic ones. Sam is top notch and lives and breaths by the knowledge and wisdom she shares. It's just not about losing weight it's about getting the information we as a society are so ignorant about when it comes to making choices about what we put into our bodies. Anyone looking for a SOLID program to lead them to a permanent vibrant and healthier self, Happy Food definitely is the program to jump on! read more

Sam did a workshop at our company and then started a group and some individual training. As a company, we contributed financially to all employees who were interested in getting healthier and making some lifestyle changes. I feel healthy/happy employees contribute to our success as a company. Sam is passionate about affecting change but she has an amazing calm approach on how to help employees make lasting changes. She was encouraging, understanding, patient and persistent. She has so much knowledge to share and shares it in a way anyone can understand and apply changes to their lifestyle. I highly recommend Sam if you are an individual or a company looking to start a health and wellness program. Her program is not a quick fix but a lifestyle change that you can continue to maintain year after year! read more

I stumbled upon Happy Food Health Counseling on Yelp and calling Sam up for help was honestly one of the best decisions I have ever made. I've been overweight for most of my life and after working out for a few months on my own and gaining some confidence, I took the initiative to make an appointment and try out something new. Since starting Sam's program my entire lifestyle has changed for the better. We set goals and work on achieving them, Sam is an amazing motivator and she is not at all pushy. She has introduced me to many new foods (my favorite part of the entire program); I went from eating out almost daily to really becoming conscious of what I put into my body, not to mention my cooking skills have greatly improved under her tutelage. So far I have lost about 15 pounds in 2 months, I am in the best physical shape of my life and still getting better every day. My skin has completely transformed, I used to have a very rough and dry complexion which has become soft and much more manageable with my nutrition change. As I said before, she doesn't push you into doing anything you don't want to do, you can go at your own pace and focus on whatever you feel is important, best of all she gives samples out of whatever she recommends to ease you into it. I highly recommend giving her a call and making an appointment for a consultation, she is very patient and warm-hearted and ensures that your comfort comes first. read more

I think that the changes Sam helped me make to both my eating habits *and* my lifestyle will stay with me a long time. She really opened my eyes to the lack of 'good' food available at most chain grocery stores, as well as the simple fact that a healthy diet does not need to mean that everything has to taste bad. As a result, snacking has become enjoyable instead of a guilt-ridden exercise in self hate. We met twice monthly on the 6-month program, and she provided good concrete information to use, stores, restaurants and samples of various types of food that I hadn't even considered before. The awareness and education she's provided have made me a much better eater; I now have more energy, eat less overall, and and am far more aware of what I choose to put in front of me at mealtime. Highly recommended - do yourself a favor and get in touch with her; your body will thank you! read more

One of my co-workers invited Sam to come to our work and I attended her corporate health seminar which was a week before my birthday. It sure felt like the eye opener I needed to finally do something about my health. So I decided to join Sam's program and make life changing habits by learning about proper nutrition, eating healthier, and just simply living happier. Having Sam as a health coach really helped me get better at eating more fruits and vegetables, exercising more, learning how to read food labels, losing weight (yes!) and cooking healthy meals at home. I'm really glad I went through the Happy Food Heath program and I know it will help a lot of people who think they can do this on their own, but honestly, it is just not the same. When you have someone to guide you and teach you along the way, it is so much better. This program will reinforce what you may already know, and you'll learn even more. read more

For me Sam is more than a nutritional counselor, although she did share with me loads of healthy recipes, alternative food ideas, and interesting eating tips. More importantly, Sam is a truly "whole-istic" life coach. I learned that 'nourishment' involves much more than food. I had done a lot of studying about diet and nutrition on my own, so much of my time with Sam was spent learning valuable techniques to relieve stress; organize my time and my environment; to create "me" time and to find enjoyable forms of exercise. I can say that after 6 months I have achieved a lot of my goals and have been given tools to continue to make ongoing improvements. I have a pretty busy life which includes 2 jobs, a marriage and looking after my elderly parents. Sam went out of her way to research ways to help with elder care and other daily challenges that I face. I found Sam to be friendly, compassionate and fun. With absolutely no pressure, her gentle guidance has inspired me to break out of my former routine to live life a healthier and therefore happier lifestyle. I strongly recommend sessions with Sam to anyone interested in improving their health--in a a complete way! read more

I would highly recommend Sam! It's been 6 months of learning and replacing unhealthy eating and schedule habits in order to set up a better lifestyle and food knowledge. Sam was incredibly informative, gave me options to focus on areas of food that affect me, and I came home each new week with a new adjustment to my life. I will continue to make adjustments and research on food for the rest of my life. Anyway looking to truly learn about food, it's effects, your surrounding life aspects that tie directly to your food consumption, I would say go to Sam. read more

I researched this program out of desperation. Before I linked up with Sam I was on high dose of oral steroids for autoimmune disease, binge eating, and had a negative self image. I wasn't happy. Fast forward six months and I haven't had a binge episode. Also, I'm down to the lowest dose of meds I've been on in three years. I learned how to calm my mind and not be so hard on myself which in turn opened me up to cooking healthy meals and not obsessing over food. I also lost a bit of weight. I guess I didn't mention this early on because it wasn't my primary intention when starting this journey... losing weight and quitting smoking was just a result of all the encouragement, helpful ideas, that went with the program. read more

Sam really helped my wife and I view food and exercise differently. It was never about counting calories and spending hours in the gym each week. It was more about experiencing and enjoying life and food. She was so flexible with her scheduling. Sam was both encouraging, inspiring, and fun to work with. You will find this is the easiest and most rewarding nutrition expert you will have ever worked with. read more

I met with Sam a while back. I was offered a "healing" and a "support" system for nutrition. I wasn't sure what that meant, but I thought I'd give it a try because she seemed genuine! During our meeting I received no answers to my questions. After she finished asking her variety of personal questions, I was still unsure what she offered or how she could help. I was then asked to sign-up for a paid "package". Still, I thought I'd give her another shot, so, I invited her to do a lecture at my office, but I noticed her doing the same thing, which is trying to get people to sign-up and pay for a package, rather than giving the information she advertised she'll speak about. During her lecture at my office she asked some questions on what people wanted, but, unfortunately she never gave any answers. She merely asked them to sign-up, and pay, in order to receive her information, or "healing", as she puts it. My first impression of Sam was that she's a caring person, but that changed after a few encounters, which is when I realized it's a mask for one goal, money!! read more

I have been working with Sam for several months and she is great. She offers a lot of great options, keeps you accountable and she's very passionate about nutrition and finding the right balance for you. She is a warm and compassionate person, really makes you feel comfortable. read more

Three months ago when I started with this program, I was apprehensive and slightly reluctant to go down this road. Fortunately, Sam provides a caring, relaxed, comfortable and supportive environment to break down the barriers (which I many), and walk me down the road of a healthier food lifestyle. She educates and coaches you to understand what are eating, how you are eating, and when you are eating. Sam talks to you about where our comes from, what foods are better than others, and why. I have always been a cynic so constantly ask questions. She has been brilliant in her response and I am a smarter, healthier (and lighter) benefactor of her mentoring. I would recommend her for anyone who has been hemming and hawing about doing something regarding their weight, foods, and general lifestyle when it comes to eating. read more

I am very impressed by Samantha's knowledge and her skillful public speaking ability. I attended a presentation and Samantha was the main speaker at the event. She really knows nutrition. A few weeks later I sent Samantha an email asking her opinion on aspartame, the sweetener in Diet Coke. She had much to say about it in detail showing me that she really understands body chemistry. I highly recommend her to any business that wants a knowledgeable speaker to book Samantha or anyone that wants to get healthier and lose a few pounds to meet with her. read more

I have been working with Sam for almost 2 years now. The program has saved my life. I have been on countless medications for my stomach disease and was just very sick all the time. I could barley work, exercise or do much of anything. After only two sessions with Sam I just started to feel amazing. It was really wonderful to know that you could heal through food and not need medication every day for the rest of your life. Sam has a very well rounded program she not only helps you reconstruct your diet but also guides you through personal life issues and truly cares about each of her clients. So far Sam has helped me, not need any stomach medication for 2 years, face difficulties in my personal life and let them go, understand my worth and what I have to offer the world, and taught me that taking care of yourself is one of the most important things you can do in life. If you are looking for a program that will change your life for the better you have found the right place. Words cannot explain how much of an impact she has made on my life and my health. read more

Sam with Happy Food Health has been a wonderful treat for... me! Yep, I splurged and set up recurring appointments with Sam and honestly, I could not have asked for a better, more life changing experience. Sam has an incredibly warm disposition that made me at ease immediately. Talking about food and exercise habits aren't always fun, especially when I wasn't always making good decisions. Sam, however, made the entire experience educational, comfortable, and above all enjoyable. Staying with Sam helped me maintain accountability and encouraged me to focus on my successes. This is an incredible service and of course, it is different for everyone but for me... it was counseling for my mind, body and soul. read more

Since couple of years, I have food intolerance of which symptoms are really frustrating. I have seen several doctors/nutritionists before but they could not help me at all. When I learned about Sam's program I was skeptical at first since she said she did not work with someone who had this problem before and she could not give me a medication. However we wanted to give a try as her approached made a lot of sense to me. I have been working with Sam for 2 months; I am on a very strict diet (elimination diet) to figure out which food causes me all the symptoms that I have . This is very tiring and frustrating process, however it has been a lot easier with Sam. There were several moments that I was really frustrated and felt down but Sam really knows how to be patient and how to treat me during those moments. She is very supportive, understanding, listens her clients (not like other health counselors/doctors who think they know the best but have no idea how the patients really feel), she really wants you recover and she is really good at what she does. I learned how important it is to focus on primary food for a healthy body&mind. She definitely helped me to focus on primary food rather than the food I eat which is secondary food, I like this approach as I noticed all my symptoms are not only related to food but also exercise, mind, emotions, stress, relationships, career, spending some time just for yourself, relaxing&mediation, being happy,etc..She starts from the very beginning without making pressure on you and she really understands/ knows your limits (she is very good listener) and wants you to notice it. Every time I talk to her I learn sth new&helpful for me and I like when she brings samples/books/cds:-) From my own experience, I can say that once your body is out of balance, its really hard to get in balance again but not impossible, it just takes time. Currently, on this program I am missing medication/supplements which forces me to work with a doctor to get my body into balance again; however I now know that focusing on the secondary food wont help me alone. I definitely suggest her to those who wanna learn more about the primary food and have a healthy and happy mind&body. read more

Casual, relaxed environment where you are free to discuss what's on your mind. Goals are established by you, no pressure to over commit. The 6 month course I signed up for just flew by. I looked forward to sharing my successes and hearing the successes of those in my class. I've learned to be more aware of what I'm eating by looking at labels, avoiding processed foods, and saying no to unhealthy options that others may be eating. Sam always had tons of easy food prep ideas and gave us lots of samples to try and explore new foods. I went to Sam with serious digestive issues and finished my class with a 110% improvement. I developed new friends and we were all comfortable talking about struggles and offered each other support. (Look for a newly developed tennis team to come from our group!) read more

Seeing how I found Sam through Yelp, it is only fitting to write a review here. I have been seeing Sam at Happy Food for about three months now. I have learned so much about food and myself, changed the way my husband and I eat, and I cook all the time. I.LOVE.COOKING. But I haven't to mention, that Sam has helped me with a lot more than just my eating. She always wants to know how I am succeeding, in every aspect of my life. Our sessions are always so positive and focused on being happy and having fun. I have lost about 20lbs, feel a lot more confident in the kitchen, and a lot happier in my life. Thank you Sam! read more

I met Sam at a networking event. One of her former students interrupted us to give her a hug and tell her how well he was doing on his new food lifestyle long after his program with her had ended. I knew at that moment I had to learn more about Sam and her healthy eating philosophy. Shortly after that I joined one of her 6 month programs. We'd meet twice monthly to discuss nutrition, healthy eating habits, specific food groups and other diet related items. At most meetings Sam would provide us with samples of the foods we had discussed and handouts which provided more details on that night's topic. The pace of the meetings was very relaxed and supportive. The other class members contributed to the learning experience. As a result, we've all improved our dietary habits and are now eating healthier and more consciously. Many of us have lost weight, although this was not the primary objective of the program. We all admit to feeling better, having more energy and enjoying what we eat more than we did prior to participating in the program. I highly recommend you take the time to review Sam's offerings and meet with her to learn more about how she can help you to become more aware of how and what you eat and can benefit from a healthier dietary lifestyle. read more

Visited Samantha and really impressed by not only her knowledge of nutrition and foods but also the psychology of healthful eating and living which is the foundation for health and wellness. You can tell right away that Samantha genuinely listens to you and tries to understand you so she can give the the exact solution you need rather than a cookie cutter approach. I am very glad we connected and highly recommend her to anyone needing to take control of their life in regard to eating and nutrition read more

Sam is an inspirational and effective coach. She makes a healthy and balanced lifestyle attainable and easy. I just completed the six-month program and gained far more than I expected from the program going in. The education and support I received will stay with me for a lifetime. I highly recommend Happy Food to anyone looking for a holistic approach to health and wellness! read more

Since working with Sam, I've lost weight, kicked a caffeine addiction, and have learned so much about food! I'm trying (and eating) a wider variety of foods and cooking at home more, which also saves a lot of money! Sam's program is great, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be healthier and happier! read more

Excellent program. Sam is very knowledgeable. She covers mind, body and spirit! Her Cleanse helped me to lose 15 lbs.

The Happy Food Nutritional Coaching Program is so different and so sensible. Samantha Hua is so knowledgeable and compassionate. I needed to get to the root of my poor eating issues. Sam helped me to focus away from food and to get back to cooking and enjoying healthy meals at home. This plan is not about a new restrictive crazy diet. It is about learning to eat and love foods your body needs to function at its best. I highly recommend Samantha Hua and the Happy Food Nutritional Coaching Program. This has been an excellent investment in my health and well being. read more

I have been working with Sam for almost four months now. I am so thankful I found her on yelp! I have struggled with severe stomach pains for many years now and have always been confused about what foods are right for me. Doctors would always just hand me lists of good and bad foods and it was always very confusing. I have also always had an interest in nutrition and wellness and I wanted to learn how to really take care of myself and start feeling better. I looked around Yelp trying to find a nutritionist. I came across Sam who had 5 stars and great reviews. I also was really drawn to her holistic approach to nutrition and well-being. I then had my free 30 minute phone consultation. I knew right away that Sam would be able to help me. She is very kind and non-judgmental and very knowledgeable in the field! I felt like she really understood where I was coming from right away and she has really done such an amazing job since. She really takes the time to listen to you and your concerns. I found all her tips and suggestions, along with her recipes and handouts extremely helpful!! Sam's tools have made a world of difference for me! I am no longer confused about what to eat and what not to eat and I am feeling so much better!! I am having less stomach pains and I have a lot more energy.
