About Jamala

Hi! I’m Jamala, a registered dietitian with 5+ yrs. of experience helping people find balance and joy in their nutrition journeys. I’m all about making nutrition fun and personalized—because no two paths to health look the same. I believe in ditching the all-or-nothing mindset. Nutrition isn’t black and white; it’s full of color, and your approach to eating should reflect that. Small steps lead to big changes, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Whether it’s creating a meal plan, modifying recipes, or exploring supplements, I’ll make the process enjoyable and empowering. Let’s transform nutrition into something that excites and inspires you!

Approach to care

My approach is rooted in being personable, meeting clients where they are at, and cultivating an environment of honesty, fun, and motivation. Recognizing the uniqueness of each client’s intervention, I am known for engaging in difficult conversations, offering loving guidance, and celebrating non-scale victories. In nutritional counseling, I employ motivational interviewing, active listening, reflection, and intuitive eating.

Your first session with Jamala

Your first session is a chance to explore your health goals and create a personalized plan. Understanding Your Relationship with Food: We’ll discuss your eating habits, preferences, and views on food to identify areas like emotional eating, portion sizes, or meal planning where you may need support. Exploring Food and Mood: Food affects both mental and physical health. We’ll examine how your diet impacts your energy and mood and find ways to improve this connection. Creating a Personalized Plan: We’ll review your history, lifestyle, and goals to craft a sustainable plan. This is a safe space to start building a healthier relationship with food.

Hobbies

I’m passionate about blending creativity, wellness, and a deep appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. Whether it’s crafting—like painting, building floral Lego bouquets , or candle-making—or exploring the great outdoors through hiking and yoga, I thrive on activities that inspire connection and balance. As a foodie, I enjoy discovering unique restaurants and picnics that allow me to recharge and reconnect with nature. My approach to life and work is rooted in creativity, mindfulness, and a desire to inspire others to embrace a sustainable, joyful lifestyle. Let’s connect and create something meaningful together
