Today we’d like to introduce you to Samantha Hua.
Hi Samantha, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Since 1992, I’ve been passionate about fitness and nutrition for myself and started Happy Food in 2009. Over the years, I’ve noticed that weight and poor health is merely a symptom. By helping people break through what is keeping them stuck or self-sabotaging, we get to the root cause and weight loss becomes a bonus side effect.
Because I’ve had my own share of trauma and feeling stuck, over decades, I accumulated tools that help me thrive. Almost immediately after I started my practice, I learned that I especially love focusing on the emotional side of our learned behaviors. This is my wheelhouse!
Not only do I enjoy supporting my clients emotionally, I realized that it’s the most effective method for most of us to connect and understand our behaviors. Most people come to me for weight loss, but they walk away with so much more including better health, more energy, improved confidence, better relationships, and a more joyful relationship with life.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The beginning was not smooth because I had to learn how to start a business, all the technical components, and I definitely did things out of order. Despite this, I am glad that I jumped in blind folded otherwise, all the research would have probably deterred me from starting Happy Food.
The aftermath was 17 years of work that filled my cup, allowing me to support others in a thoughtful, compassionate manner.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
While most nutritionists dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins, restrictions and lists of good and bad foods, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline. Your personalized program will radically improve your health and happiness. Together, we will explore concerns specific to you and your body and discover the tools you need for a lifetime of balance. Food changes everything. As your daily diet changes, your body changes and your happiness improves. Imagine what your life would be like if you had clear thinking, energy and excitement every day.
What sets Happy Food apart is connecting the mind and the body. I thrive on helping my clients let go of shame, judgment, and guilt so that they have a healthy relationship with food forever.
What are your plans for the future?
I don’t have big changes and plan to continue while giving space to raise my daughter and volunteer more. I’d like to be more involved in connecting people during our polarized time. We are more alike then we are different, and this level of healing benefits all of us (including my clients).
More details to come.
