About Safia

Hello! I am a Registered Dietitian and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant. I specialize in maternal health, lactation, infant feeding, and early childhood nutrition. I have provided evidence-based counseling from infancy to adulthood for over 15 years . I understand the importance of practical nutrition advice for individuals balancing busy schedules. Outside of work, you can find me with my two young kids exploring parks, attending sports, or gardening.

Approach to care

My approach to care is meeting people where they are by understanding them. Finding out about an individual first is essential to tailor information. Cultural and family foods are important, as well as making all foods fit that are important to you. We will look at your big picture goal and come up with small steps to this larger goal.

Your first session with Safia

I'm excited to learn about you, your concerns, daily activities, and medical history. I will listen to your goals, challenges, and give support that you feel will help you. What changes do you want to make? Where do you want to be with your health and eating? What are some barriers you have had? What habits are working well for you? I am here without judgment to help you be successful in meeting your individual goals.
