about
Samantha Foster
Welcome! I’m Sam Foster, the owner of Fostering Wellness, and I’m so grateful you’re here.
Nursing has been a part of my life for more than 15 years, and through my experience in a variety of specialties, I’ve learned that true healing goes far beyond the physical body. My journey led me to earn a master’s degree in Transcultural and Community Health Nursing, which deepened my appreciation for how our backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences shape our overall well-being.
Along the way, I discovered my passion for supporting others in creating balance and lasting wellness—mind, body, and spirit. That passion inspired me to become a Board-Certified Nurse Coach (NC-BC), and to pursue additional certifications in Health Coaching (CHC), Functional Nutrition Coaching (FNC), and as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) through Yoga Alliance.
I believe wellness is a lifelong journey, and as science and life continue to evolve, so do I. I’m always learning, growing, and exploring new ways to support my clients in living healthier, more fulfilling lives.
My story:
Personally, I’m married and a proud mom to two amazing daughters — plus a “dog mom” to two adventurous pups who keep life lively and full of joy. I’m an avid outdoor enthusiast and find peace and inspiration in nature. Whether I’m trail running, hiking, backpacking, practicing yoga, kayaking, reading, or cooking up healthy plant-based meals, I’m always seeking ways to nurture both body and soul. Learning about health and wellness is one of my greatest passions — there’s always something new to explore and share!
Professionally, I’m a practicing Registered Nurse at Regions Hudson Hospital in the Specialty Infusion Center, where I support oncology and hematology patients with compassionate care. My nursing journey includes extensive experience in cardiac care and employee health and wellness, and I’m deeply committed to promoting health not just in the hospital, but in the community as well. I love volunteering locally and doing my part to help protect our beautiful planet.
After nearly a decade at the bedside caring for cardiac patients, I felt a strong calling to shift my focus. I realized I wanted to move beyond the often reactive nature of hospital care and instead help people proactively cultivate their own health and well-being. I believe our bodies have an incredible ability to heal and naturally move toward balance and vitality.
That belief inspired me to become a Nurse Coach—a role that allows me to guide clients in rediscovering their inner strength and wisdom. Through Nurse Coaching, I help people explore where they are now, where they want to be, and how to bridge that gap by uncovering patterns, setting meaningful SMART goals, and building sustainable habits that support lifelong wellness
