About Amna

Food has always been a gateway to connection and curiosity for me. With an MS in Human Nutrition and dietetics and one year working as a Registered Dietitian across clinical and community health settings, I bring both science and real-world problem solving to the table. I practice as an RDN and LDN and enjoy translating medical information into practical steps that fit your life. When I’m not meeting patients in Cary, North Carolina, you’ll find me traveling, cooking up new recipes, or hiking local trails. I listen closely, avoid strict rules, and help build realistic habits that last.

Approach to care

Science guides the recommendations I make, and empathy guides how we do the work together. I prioritize evidence-based strategies while honoring the whole person, including mental and emotional well-being. We’ll focus on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes, using clear, actionable steps and gentle accountability to build confidence. I practice a weight-neutral, health at every size perspective, teaching you the skills to interpret research and make informed choices without judgment or diet culture pressure.

Your first session with Amna

Expect a relaxed, thorough conversation where we review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you have. We’ll take a deep dive into your relationship with food, talk about routines and barriers, and set short-term, realistic goals together. I’ll help create a meal plan that fits your lifestyle and leave you with clear next steps that feel manageable. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out, just come as you are and we’ll build from there.
