Spirit & Skin Health & Beauty Clinic

23/03/2025

I have a deep love and appreciation for the human body, I believe that the body can heal from anything, given the right environment.

I’m a total geek when it comes to gut function, fat loss and skin health!

I’ve been in the health space for 25 years. I am a Nutritionist, Strength Coach & Skin Specialist.

Aside from qualifications, something I’ve found helpful is personal experience…

-I was once 5 stone overweight
-I used to battle with sugar & food addiction
-I used to use exercise as punishment
-I've tried at least 12 mainstream diets (none of them helped to create true health)
-I suffered with IBS & constant bloating
-I used to have inflammatory acne & psoriasis
-I've experienced EXTREME stress and lost a lot of my hair.

I trained as a Skin Specialist in the 90’s, I travelled with my career for 15 years, working on cruise ships, private jets and luxury resorts from Bermuda to Toronto.

My love for Anatomy & Biology grew over the years and I became a teacher.

In later years, I was heavily involved in the fitness industry.

I owned a personal training business, skin clinic and I was a competitive bodybuilder and strongwoman!

Although it was fun at the time, the competitive lifestyle really took a toll on my health.

Overtraining and strict eating habits left me with nutrient deficiencies and severe gut issues.

My skin was a mess, I had hormonal issues, chronic fatigue and hideous bloating.

After I finished figure competing, I struggled with “normal” life and developed bulimia. This is when I really focused on my nutritional studies, my determination to heal myself was unparalleled.

With a lot of hard graft, I was able to reverse all of the health challenges that I’d endured for so long.

Now, using my love for holistic health, and my own experiences dealing with chronic health issues, I help women regain their health (and sanity!).

I couldn't drink anything else first thing. It's hands down THE best way to start your day, nature has provided us with everything we could possibly need:

💫Celtic sea salt contains over 80 vital minerals. Essential for the strength of bones & teeth. Minerals are involved in the process of converting food into energy, supporting metabolic processes.

🍋Lemon water, especially when combined with a pinch of salt, drives water INSIDE the cells for maximum hydration, crucial for ALL bodily functions.

🍬Sugar cravings? Being properly hydrated turns down cravings for sugar. If you start your day well hydrated, cravings are crushed. Try it!

💙Lemon & Salt detoxify the liver & help the kidneys.

🧠Electrolytes maintain brain function by supporting nerve impulse transmission, regulating fluid balance, and contributing to cognitive health = better concentration, clarity and focus.

If you love coffee like I do, you can still have it, AFTER you've had this water!

p.s. natural, whole salt DOES NOT cause high blood pressure.

If you’re trying to avoid sugar… There are over 60 different names for sugar!

Hiding in over 60% of our packaged produce.

🕵️‍♀️Sugar is a master of disguise, just because you don’t see “sugar” on the ingredient list when scanning a nutrition label does not guarantee the item is sugar or sweetener-free.

Sugar goes by a slew of different names, making it easy for manufacturers to hide how much sugar is truly in a given product.

😮A whopping 60 different names!
While some of these names are more obvious, like brown and cane sugar, others are trickier to spot.

• Agave nectar
• Barbados sugar
• Barley malt
• Barley malt syrup
• Beet sugar
• Blackstrap molasses
• Brown rice syrup
• Brown sugar
• Buttered syrup
• Cane juice
• Cane juice crystals
• Cane sugar
• Caramel
• Carob syrup

• Dehydrated cane juice
• Demerara sugar
• Dextran

I often feel frustrated that I can’t speak freely on social media about some of the real reasons why women struggle to lose weight. I’ve had posts removed in the past, truth be told, I stopped sharing.

I’ve been in the female health field for 25 years, I am a Nutritionist, Strength Coach and Skin Specialist.

The problem is, I have so much information in my head, that I know help’s women reclaim their health, lose weight and balance hormones, but didn’t have a private space where I could share it with the women who needed it most.

Not too long ago, a nice lady left a comment on my page saying “THIS IS A SCAM!

It really isn’t, it’s just that I longed for a community where likeminded women could be together in a safe and supportive environment to share, learn and gain the information they need to make changes that transforms their lives.

A hub of shared information, to help and support one another on this health journey.

I listened to what women really needed and began creating metabolic health trainings, guided detoxification programs and step by step nutrition training.

I know it can feel lonely when you’re struggling with health issues and the frustration that comes with being so confused about what to eat, trying everything and STILL not being able to lose weight, it’s so confusing.

So I created The Women’s Vitality Hub.

It’s completely FREE and always will be.

Women come for the information they need and then stay because it’s such a supportive place to be 👭

👩‍🎓Aside from my professional credentials, I have something that's even better.....Personal Experience.

-I was once 5 stone overweight
-I used to battle with sugar addiction
-I once experienced severe food addiction (bulimia)
-I used to use exercise as punishment
-I've tried at least 12 mainstream diets (and failed)
-I've tried veganism & vegetarianism
-I used to suffer with IBS and constant bloating & discomfort
-I used to have inflammatory acne & psoriasis

If you can relate to any of the above, I want you to know, YOU CAN change, the information you want is waiting for you….

If you’ve been with me for a bit, you'll know that I have a background in Nutrition, and spent many years as a Strength & Conditioning Coach for women. You'll also know that I can talk the hind legs off a donkey when it comes to gut health!

I started Spirit & Skin because of my love of therapies and female health.

My biggest love of all is gut health, pathology and metabolic function.

I wanted to create a space where people would feel safe, heard and enable a space where I could facilitate healing, deep relaxation and stress relief. (and a good ol' chat, putting the world to rights!)

I wanted to create bespoke treatments where people could not only feel renewed, but also to facilitate healing physiological ailments.

One of the biggest challenges I've had over the years, is that a lot of conditions, ailments and health problems I treat topically, often require deeper internal healing, detoxification and nutritional protocols. It's impossible to fit everything in to a 1.5 hr treatment!

I have had a dream of becoming a Naturopathic Doctor for a long, long time, but it's never seemed to be the "right time".

Because I adore treatments, and I love spending time with all my clients, I keep on putting my dream off.

I'm very proud of what I've built from scratch, I am so grateful to you for helping me build something that makes a difference, I couldn't have done it without you ❤️

Hundreds of 5 star reviews, all of your friends you have introduced to me. Truly, thank you 🙏

I realised this year, if I don't make a decision, another 5 years will pass by in a blink.

So, what I'm trying to tell you is, I'm closing in August 2025 and will be going to University to get my PhD in Naturopathic Medicine.

This page will slowly be changing in to a female health hub.

I'm looking forward to sharing all things fat loss, metabolic health, nutrition and how to build a strong body🎉

I'm looking forward to the journey of becoming

Dr. Samantha Saint! 👩‍🎓

When Izzy was born, everyone said "enjoy every moment, they grow up so fast!" I don't think we really understand that until 17 years flashes by and you really do wonder "where has the time gone?"

Happiest day of birth to my baby ❤️ 17 today 🥰

I usually only work with women in a clinic setting where you have to pay for my time, information and a transformation, but, I’ve just started a free community for women over 40 who want to achieve freedom from yo-yo dieting, lose at least 10lbs, without calorie counting or a gym membership.

We’re talking all things:
-Hormonal balance and menopause

-What to eat for weight loss & great skin

-How to improve sleep

-How to reduce stress

(plus all the things we want to talk about in private)

Comment “invite” and I’ll invite you for free!

Sam ❤️
