About Anisa
Hi I'm Anisa! I'm a Chicago-based Dietitian whose devotion to nutrition began on the soccer field. I noticed there was a lack of nutritional support for athletes and began self-educating at a young age. I earned my personal training certificate before my Master's in Nutrition to ensure I have a well-rounded outlook on how to improve body function from head to toe.
Approach to care
I believe that using research-focused approaches, as well as functional medicine, is key to achieving success. I acknowledge that there is no “one size fits all” approach, because no two humans are the same and shouldn’t be treated medically as such. I wholeheartedly believe in equality for all, and I ensure this extends into my sessions. I listen intently and repeat back to establish clear communication so I may offer the correct support needed.
Your first session with Anisa
Step one is getting to know each other. I want this process to feel comfortable and judgment-free for both of us. I believe true success comes from exemplary communication between practitioner and patient. This ensures we are on the same page. I see my patients as they are: fellow equal humans seeking help with their own unique nutrition journey. You will leave our first session feeling supported and confident about the goals we have set that align with your realistic expectations. Meeting new people energizes me, and I look forward to meeting you! Most importantly, I am committed to supporting you and celebrating your progress every step of the way.
