Mireille Najjar

About Mireille

I am a Registered Dietitian based in the Los Angeles area, with eight years of fulfilling work, internship, and volunteer experience in a variety of academic, community, and clinical settings. Originally from Lebanon, I acknowledge and value cultural practices and the significant role that food plays in connecting us to our roots. I am driven by holistic, culturally competent care that recognizes and appreciates each person’s unique experiences, beliefs, and traditions, as well as lifestyle choices and social environments. My aim is to empower you to set achievable and sustainable goals that are individualized and aligned with your lifestyle, preferences, and values. With ongoing support, guidance, and accountability, we can overcome challenges and celebrate successes to help you stay motivated and make progress toward your goals.

Approach to care

My culturally inclusive approach to health and wellbeing focuses on providing care that respects and adapts to diverse cultural backgrounds, traditions, and health behaviors. I work effectively with clients by listening to their concerns, understanding their specific needs, supporting self-efficacy, and facilitating individualized goal setting.

Your first session with Mireille

In our first session, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your unique needs and goals. I will gather information to understand your health and background and how things currently are. We will discuss finding your focus and creating a personalized nutrition plan. I will also provide education and resources to support your efforts in achieving your objectives. The session is designed to help you make positive changes in your diet and overall well-being, tailored to your specific health concerns and lifestyle.
