Practitioner

Directory  

A group of like-hearted practitioners with a shared holistic vision of wellness.

Nutrition is a key but not the only key to health. In different seasons of life, our health needs change and require different expertise and support.

I’m fortunate to be connected with some wonderful health practitioners who are compassionate and nuanced in their approach. The practitioners here are those I trust deeply. Consider reaching out to them if their specialities and services can meet your current health needs.

Samantha Markovitz, NBC-HWC
Health coaching

  • Samantha is skilled at listening for her clients’ challenges and providing actionable recommendations to overcome them. The level of empathy and practical support she offers is exceptional. Anyone who needs a guiding light in managing their health will gain the confidence to do so after working with Samantha!

  • Type 1 diabetes, gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes, health behavior and lifestyle changes.

  • Accepting self-paying clients anywhere in the United States.

Dr. Kim Lau, DO
Psychiatry

  • Dr. Lau invites patients to take an active role in their treatment which resonates deeply with me. She is also thoughtful about prescribing medication. I appreciate her approach to treating the whole person and giving special attention to women’s needs in mental health treatment!

  • Women-focused mental health and postpartum support.

  • Accepting patients 18 years and older from CA and NV for telehealth visits only. Select insurances accepted.

Mandy Murphy Carroll, MPH, RD
Pre- and postnatal support

  • Mandy brings an unconventional but much needed approach to pre- and postnatal support. Aside from her extensive nutrition knowledge as a dietitian, she infuses compassion and practicality to the support she provides new parents. I hope more people will share her philosophy on including one’s community to create a meaningful celebratory experience!

  • Baby blessing cooking party, postpartum support, and nutrition guidance for new parents and babies.

  • Nourish New Life operates in the San Francisco area, but select service can be offered virtually.
