about
Samantha Foster
Welcome! My name is Sam Foster, I am the owner of Fostering Wellness, and I am so thrilled you’re reading this! As a registered nurse with more than a 15 years of nursing experience (in various specialties) I have the professional experience to support your health goals. I have earned my master’s degree in transcultural and community health nursing. This educational experience has provided me with a deep understanding and respect for the importance that culture plays in our overall wellbeing. Additionally, I am a board certified Nurse Coach (NC-BC) and have completed additional certifications in Health Coaching (CHC), Functional Nutrition Coaching (FNC), and I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) through Yoga Alliance. As science evolves, so do I. I strive to continually be learning and growing in the nursing field and all areas supportive of health and wellness.
More about Sam
Personally, I am married and a mother of two fabulous daughters, and a doggy momma to two adventurous dogs. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast. I love trail running, hiking, back packing, practicing yoga, kayaking, reading, cooking and baking healthy plant based foods, and always learning as much as I can about health and wellness!
Professionally, I am a practicing Registered Nurse at Regions Hudson Hospital in the Specialty Infusion Center, supporting oncology and hematology patients. I have an extensive background in cardiac nursing and employee health and wellness. I also enjoy volunteering within my local community and doing everything I can to protect our beautiful planet.
After nearly 10 years of bedside hospital nursing working cardiac patients, I knew in my heart and soul that could no longer practice what is often reactive bedside nursing. I wanted to help people uncover the power they have within themselves to cultivate their own health and wellness. Our bodies have the most beautiful ability to heal themselves and naturally navigate to a space of optimal wellness. Nurse Coaching is a wonderful tool that can be used to help clients make that transition by determining where they are now and where they want to be in their health and wellness, recognizing old patterns, and setting new SMART goals .
