About Salem

Welcome, my name is Salem and I am so glad that you are here! What lead me to becoming a dietitian was watching my mom survive end-stage renal disease for 4 months without dialysis by making changes to her diet. She thankfully was able to have a successful kidney transplant, 10 years ago now and is thriving! I have worked diligently 1-on-1 with oncology patients for the last four years of my career. With oncology comes many challenges that have developed me as a nutrition counselor. My passion for nutrition has, and always will be, helping others achieve their goals through support, education and guidance! I have had the privilege of working with a variety of specialties in the field of nutrition including weight loss and gain, nutrition during cancer treatment, enteral nutrition, survivorship, blood sugar stabilization, among many others! On a personal note, I am a proud mom to two boys, love living the coastal life, and enjoying good food!

Approach to care

I believe the best approach to sustainable nutrition changes starts with you- your goals, needs, and lifestyle! I strive to be an empathetic nutrition counselor who will meet you where you are at and lead you in the right direction to meet all of your nutrition and wellness goals!
