Background

My passion for food, interpersonal skills, and fascination with how the body functions inspired me to become a dietitian. Growing up as a triplet, I developed a unique perspective on individuality and collaboration, which now shapes my holistic approach to nutrition. I began my journey with a firm belief that food is fuel and that the right combination of foods and lifestyle choices can help you feel your best. My Moroccan heritage has further fueled my love for cooking, demonstrating that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor for health.

With over three years of clinical experience, I’ve worked with a diverse range of patients and conditions. My commitment to healing through nutrition and my desire for more personalized care led me to open a private practice. Here, I can dedicate the time and attention each client deserves and focus on their individual needs.

My clients appreciate my positive energy and motivational approach, which encourages them to achieve their health goals. I’m passionate about helping others and excited to work with clients who are equally enthusiastic about their journey to better health. I believe in making gradual, impactful, and sustainable changes to achieve significant, long-term improvements.
