About Alaa

Hi, I’m Alaa, a Registered Dietitian with over three years of experience and a Master of Science in Nutrition Science from Florida State University. I provide science-driven, compassionate care that blends evidence-based practice with individualized support. I’ve worked in clinical and hospital settings, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to support patients across various conditions and care transitions. As an RD, I’m continually reminded that every person’s story informs their care plan. Outside of work, I enjoy painting, reading, and photography, activities that keep me curious and grounded.

Approach to care

Together, we'll build a plan rooted in current evidence, translating science into practical steps you can actually follow. I lead with empathy and warmth, meeting you where you are and honoring your values. This approach is holistic, considering sleep, mood, stress, and physical activity, and it centers a weight inclusive, HAES-informed perspective. We focus on sustainable behavior change, empowering you with knowledge so you can make informed decisions over time.

Your first session with Alaa

Our first appointment is about understanding your story. We’ll talk through your health background, eating patterns, and goals in a supportive, pressure-free environment. From there, we’ll choose a couple of meaningful, manageable changes to get you started. My goal is for you to leave feeling informed, empowered, and supported.
