About Aja
Hi, I’m Aja Bussey, a registered dietitian with a passion for helping people transform their health through personalized, sustainable nutrition. I graduated from the Howard University Coordinated Program in Dietetics, and my journey into this field was inspired by my own experiences growing up and the challenges I faced with nutrition. These experiences sparked my desire to help others lead healthier, more balanced lives. I believe that wellness isn’t about strict dieting or perfection; it’s about finding a sustainable approach to nutrition that works for you. My goal is to support you in making informed, realistic choices that fit into your lifestyle and bring you closer to your health goals. Whether you’re looking to manage a health condition, improve your energy, or simply create a more balanced relationship with food, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s work together to make healthy living feel good!
Approach to care
I take a holistic approach to care, working collaboratively with you to create a plan that prioritizes balance, nourishment, and enjoyment. I understand that life can get busy, and I’m committed to making the process as easy and stress-free as possible. Together, we’ll focus on long-term solutions that you can sustain, all while embracing the fun and flexibility that life has to offer.
Your first session with Aja
During our first session, we’ll take the time to get to know each other and discuss personal health goals, challenges, and lifestyle. I’ll ask about eating habits, medical history, and any other factors that may impact your nutrition. From there, we’ll work together to create a personalized plan that aligns with your needs and goals. My focus is to make sure you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered as we start this journey toward better health together.
