About Jahaira

Hi! I'm Jahaira (Ja-HI-ra), a Colombian-American Registered Dietitian Nutritionist! Born and raised in the NY Metro area, I have a deep passion for all things nutrition, food, and helping people! After struggling with my own nutrition battles as a young girl, I am committed to helping others navigate the world of food through science-based evidence, motivational interviewing, and of course, compassion!

Approach to care

I firmly believe in a well-rounded approach to achieving one's unique goals. I incorporate an "addition, not restriction" style of nutrition counseling. I focus on helping my clients understand the "why" behind their health-related decisions. When individuals have a clear understanding of the benefits of making certain choices, they are more likely to be motivated and committed to their goals. Additionally, teaching the "how" and providing practical guidance on making healthier choices is essential for long-term success. I will continue to empower and educate my clients, and together, we can work towards their desired outcomes!

Your first session with Jahaira

You can expect to enter a safe space where you can share as much, or as little, as you want. We'll get to know each other a bit more as we dive into your story and your goals. Even if you're not sure where to start, I'm sure that we can start building the path to success together.
