Samantha Maldonado RDN, LDN

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Rachel Brown Dietitian

Hi, I’m Samantha! I am a registered dietitian in Maryland. I see clients in Greenbelt and Columbia, Maryland, and virtually across the USA!

In high school, I had an unhealthy relationship with food and my body image, leading me to follow fad diets for several years. I always thought shrinking my body through extreme dieting would make me healthier and happier, but instead, I missed out on many fun outings with friends, became the food police, and had very low energy.

When I started studying nutrition, I realized I could meet my goals without sacrificing my health and all the delicious foods I enjoy. This moment helped me realized that I wanted spend my career helping others realize the same, which is why I became a dietitian.

I am passionate about helping clients reach their goals sustainably and enjoyably so they can take advantage of all life has to offer.

Happy Clients

“Samantha is amazing! She is super down to earth and after just one visit she was so easy to talk to.”

“I’ve only been to 1 appointment, but it was very enjoyable. I had no idea what to expect, and they made me feel very comfortable. Weight and health are not easy subjects to talk about or deal with.”
