Meet Samantha Del Valle

Functional Wellness Practitioner

Welcome to FM Health Naturally!

I'm Samantha Del Valle. When my daughter received her autism diagnosis, my heart broke—not because she was different, but because I saw the mountain we'd need to climb. As a mother of five with three children facing neurodevelopmental challenges, I understand what it means to have your family's entire rhythm disrupted by meltdowns, sleepless nights, and the constant worry of "Will it always be this hard?"


My journey began like most autism parents—with therapies, specialists, and mountains of contradicting advice. Everyone focused on managing behaviors, but something felt missing. My daughter wasn't just a collection of behaviors to be modified; he was a whole child with a body that was trying to tell us something.

The Breaking Point That Changed Everything


After years of depleting our family's resources and energy with minimal progress, I hit my breaking point. My autistic daughter wasn't sleeping, my two boys with sensory processing disorders were struggling at school, and my marriage was strained to its limits. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and starting to lose hope.


That's when I discovered functional medicine and its approach to autism—looking beyond behaviors to the biological systems beneath them. I was shocked to learn how gut inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and immune imbalances were driving my children's most challenging symptoms.


From Personal Transformation to Professional Mission


As I implemented these biological approaches, we witnessed transformations I never thought possible:

  • My daughter's meltdowns decreased from daily to rare occasions

  • Sleep improved from fragmented 4-hour stretches to restful 8-hour nights

  • Foods that once caused tantrums became acceptable

  • Words and conversation began flowing where there had been silence

The changes weren't just in my autistic child—my entire family began to thrive. My other children's sensory challenges became manageable, and I reclaimed my own health and energy after years of caretaker burnout.


This profound transformation inspired me to become a Functional Medicine Practitioner specializing in autism family wellness. I couldn't keep this approach to myself when so many families were suffering the way mine had.


My Approach: The Whole Family Matters


What makes my approach different is that I recognize autism doesn't happen in isolation—it affects the entire family system. That's why I work with both the child and the parents to:

  • Identify and address the underlying biological imbalances driving challenging behaviors

  • Support parents in reclaiming their own health and energy

  • Create sustainable family routines that support everyone's wellbeing

  • Build a foundation for long-term family harmony, not just crisis management

My Promise to You


As a mother who's walked this path, I promise to meet you exactly where you are—without judgment, with deep understanding, and with practical solutions that work in real families with real limitations.


I believe that autism families deserve more than survival mode. You deserve to thrive, to experience joy, to see your child's unique gifts emerge, and to remember what it feels like when home is a place of peace.


Be part of our thriving community dedicated to nurturing vibrant autism families and revitalizing their natural harmony!

Whether you're just starting your autism journey or you've been on this path for years, I'm here to help you transform overwhelming daily survival into sustainable family thriving.


Let's discover why your child's behaviors are really intensifying and address the hidden biological cascades most doctors miss. Because when we heal at the root, we transform not just symptoms, but lives.
