About Daaimah

Hello! My name is Daaimah and I am Registered Dietitian based in Connecticut. I obtained my Master's in Nutrition and Dietetics from Hunter College. As a registered dietitian, I am passionate about helping people discover a way of eating and living that feels both achievable and empowering. My areas of specialty include weight management, medical weight loss management through surgery or medications, sports nutrition, and diabetes care. I bring an evidence-based and collaborative approach to every session, working side by side with clients to create practical, culturally sensitive strategies that support lasting change.

Approach to care

In addition to nutrition counseling, I conduct nutrition science research, which informs and enhances my evidence-based care. I believe that nutrition is never "one size fits all". Each person brings unique experiences, goals, and challenges, and I strive to honor that individuality by creating plans that are not only effective, but also sustainable for the long term. Whether someone is navigating the complexities of diabetes, seeking to improve athletic performance, or embarking on a weight-loss journey, my goal is to provide guidance, tools, and encouragement every step of the way. At the core of my practice is the belief that small, consistent steps can lead to profound transformations, and I feel privileged to support clients as they work toward healthier, more balanced lives.

Your first session with Daaimah

Your first session is all about getting to know you. We’ll start with a conversation about your health history, lifestyle, eating patterns, and goals. I want to understand not just where you are now, but also what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past, so we can create a plan that feels realistic and supportive. During this session, I’ll answer any questions you may have and provide clear guidance on next steps. Together, we’ll outline short- and long-term goals, discuss strategies tailored to your needs and identify practical ways to start making changes right away. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and confident that you have a partner in your journey. You’ll walk away with an individualized roadmap and a sense of how we’ll continue working together to create sustainable, meaningful progress.

Hobbies

Outside of my work, I value staying active and adventurous. Rollerblading and weight lifting keep me energized, while traveling allows me to experience new cultures and perspectives, something that also enriches the way I connect with clients from diverse backgrounds.
