About Ayesha

I have a passion for supporting my patients in achieveing their nutrition goals. I have experience in helping adults and adolescents establish normalized and sustainable eating habits. I accept and appreciate individuals from all backgrounds and love to learn about all the things that make your eating habits unique to you and how we can fine tune them to fit your now. I love cheering my patients on as they recover and grow from all of the things they set their mind to. I am here to help and I look forward to helping you build the skills to stay accountable and motivated so you may go on to maintain healthful eating habits!

Approach to care

Like I said, I am you biggest cheerleader! The primary aspect to seeking care is being willing and ready for change. I know it's tough and that's why I am here to support you and help you. All you need to do is stay consistent with attending sessions and try your best to share any barriers you're experiencing and how we can find ways to work around them. Most importantly honesty, self reflection, acceptance and courage are the ingredients for change (secret ingredient: self love <3).

Your first session with Ayesha

I want to understand what you're going through and not miss any details. Baby steps create big changes and sometimes success is in the details. Once we're through with the formalities we can jump into any questions you have and what to expect in your next follow up session.
