Meet the founder
Hi, I’m Samantha, the founder and maker behind Raw Self.
After 15 years in the health and fitness space, snacking has always been part of my daily ritual - especially the kind that fuels busy days, growing bodies, and curious little humans. I’ve spent my career helping people move better, feel stronger, and improve their quality of life, and I’ve loved every minute of it.
Through countless conversations with clients and parents, one thing kept coming up: finding genuinely good snacks for kids was harder than it should be. Too many options were packed with ingredients we don’t need, and too few were lunchbox-friendly, kid-approved, and actually nourishing.
So I asked myself, what if I could take something kids already love (hello, chips) and make it actually good for them? No nasties. All natural. Sweet, crunchy, and real.
I started making small batches and sharing them with friends, family, clients, and their toughest critics - the kids. The verdict? Big smiles and requests for more.
And just like that, Raw Self was born.
Simple ingredients. Thoughtfully made. Real snacking for little ones, and the grown-ups who care about what goes into their hands.
Thanks for being here. I can’t wait to share more goodness with you and your little snackers.
