About Hiral

Hi, I’m Hiral Rughani—a Registered Dietitian and mom with 14+ years of experience helping families feel confident and supported in their nutrition journey. I work with clients of all ages, offering guidance on healthy eating, meal planning, portion sizes, and building sustainable habits for lifelong wellness. My specialty is pediatric and maternal nutrition—especially during the first 1,000 days, when babies grow fast and parents have lots of questions. I support families with breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, picky eating, food allergies, and starting solids. I also work with women from their first periods through postpartum recovery and menopause, supporting them through every season of life. As a lifelong vegetarian, I love helping plant-based families. I also provide expert care for children with special needs or complex medical conditions, including tube feeding and parenteral nutrition. I’m here to make nutrition feel doable and personalized—let’s take the next step together

Approach to care

You don’t need a perfect meal plan—you need support that fits real life. My approach is rooted in meeting you where you are, offering non-judgmental guidance, and turning confusing nutrition advice into simple, practical strategies that truly work for you and your family.

Your first session with Hiral

The first session is all about you! It’s a relaxed, friendly chat where we get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. This is your time to tell me about where you are in your health journey, your goals, what’s brought you here, and what you hope to get out of our time together. No pressure—just an open, judgment-free conversation to start things off
