Welcome—I’m Sammi Farber, your food and body empowerment coach. I help you break free from diet culture, rebuild trust with your body, and reclaim the joy of eating and living. With a blend of clinical insight and compassionate coaching, I’m here to support you in creating lasting, aligned change—inside and out.

Your Journey Begins Today!

You are somebody,

not just a body.

You don’t need to be fixed—because you were never broken. Together, we’ll untangle the beliefs that have kept you stuck, reconnect you to your body’s wisdom, and help you step into a version of yourself that feels grounded, free, and fully you.

Clinical Insight

Backed by a Bachelor’s in Culinary Arts, a Master’s in Social Work, certified coaching training, and years of clinical experience in eating disorder recovery, your growth is supported by someone who brings both professional expertise and lived understanding into every session.

Personalized Support

There’s no one-size-fits-all path to healing—which is why every session is tailored to your unique story, needs, and pace. You’ll be met with compassion, curiosity, and zero judgment as we co-create a space that honors your version of freedom and self-trust.

Authentic Growth

This work isn’t about perfection or performing—it’s about unlearning, reconnecting, and becoming more you. Through honest conversations and aligned action, you'll build confidence, challenge old beliefs, and grow in a way that feels real, sustainable, and rooted in self-compassion.

My goal isn’t to change you—it’s to help you reclaim who you’ve always been underneath the noise

  • My "Why"

    From years of struggling with food and body image to finding true freedom and self-acceptance, my journey has been one of deep healing. I’ve lived through the noise, the rules, the pressure—and I’ve come out on the other side. It’s better here. And I’m passionate about helping you get here too.

  • My Core Values

    With compassion, honesty, and zero judgment, I meet you where you are. Together, we’ll build trust, unlearn what’s no longer serving you, and create space for your most authentic self to rise.

Compassionate, judgment-free coaching to help you heal your relationship with food, unlearn diet culture, and reconnect with yourself. These sessions are personalized to meet you where you are—so you can build body acceptance, trust your inner voice, and create lasting freedom around food and your life.

What Working Together Looks Like

Every coaching journey is different—because every human is different. There’s no rigid formula here, just a thoughtful process designed to meet you where you are and support where you're going.

Step 1: We Connect

We start with a clarity call—a no-pressure, heart-to-heart where you get to share what’s going on and what you’re hoping for. It’s your space to be seen, heard, and supported from the very beginning.

Step 2: We Explore

Together, we dig into the thoughts, patterns, and beliefs that are keeping you stuck. Through honest conversation, reflection tools, and a whole lot of compassion, we get clear on what needs to shift.

Step 3: We Take Aligned Action

This is where healing turns into doing. I’ll guide you through personalized steps, tools, and practices to help you build trust with yourself and create meaningful change—without perfection or pressure.

Step 4: We Grow Into It

Coaching isn’t just about insight—it’s about integration. As things begin to shift, I’ll be there for continued support and guidance. Together, we’ll anchor the changes so they actually stick—and expand with you as you evolve.

“Working with Sammi was the first time I felt seen without being judged. She helped me let go of diet rules I didn’t even realize I was still holding onto—and for the first time in years, I feel free in my own body.”

Coaching Vs Therapy

Are you my therapist in this coaching relationship?

No—I am not acting as your therapist in this coaching relationship. While I am a therapist by training, this service is coaching, not therapy. Coaching is future-focused, collaborative, and action-oriented, and it does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

Coaching may be a good fit if you're feeling stuck, disconnected from your body, or overwhelmed by the constant pull of diet culture—but you’re ready to grow, take action, and create meaningful change. If you're currently in therapy or have completed it and want extra support around food, body image, or empowerment, coaching can be a powerful next step.

What’s the difference between therapy and coaching?

Therapy often focuses on healing past wounds, managing mental health symptoms, and working through trauma, typically within a licensed and regulated framework. Coaching, on the other hand, is about helping you move forward, set goals, and create lasting change through support and accountability. Coaching is not a replacement for therapy, and it is not appropriate for individuals in acute mental health crises.

How does your background as a therapist influence your coaching?

My experience as a therapist deeply informs my coaching—but I stay within the scope of coaching. That means I bring my understanding of emotional regulation, body image work, and eating disorder recovery to our sessions in a way that empowers you—not diagnoses you. I use evidence-informed strategies to guide our work while keeping the focus on growth and action.

What can I expect from working with you as a coach?

You can expect a safe, collaborative space where we’ll work toward food freedom, body trust, and empowered living. I’ll guide you with a mix of intuitive strategies, lived experience, and clinical insight—all rooted in a non-judgmental, supportive relationship. Together, we’ll identify what's keeping you stuck and help you step into lasting, aligned change.

Can I work with you if I’m currently in therapy?

Yes! Coaching can complement your therapy work, especially if your therapist is supportive of the process. Many of my coaching clients are also in therapy, and we focus on building practical tools and momentum in areas where they feel ready for change outside the therapy space.
