About Zemira

Hi, I’m Zemira, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist dedicated to helping adults nourish their bodies, reduce inflammation, and build a balanced relationship with food. I help adults feel their best through integrative and functional nutrition. My approach combines evidence-based care with mindfulness and realistic lifestyle support to help you create lasting change and restore balance.

Approach to care

I take an integrative and functional approach—looking beyond symptoms to understand the root causes of imbalances such as stress, inflammation, and fatigue. My experience includes supporting clients in both clinical and community settings, including veterans and adults navigating chronic disease, weight changes, and recovery from illness or surgery. Whether you’re managing stress-related eating, improving gut health, or seeking long-term vitality, I provide personalized, realistic strategies that fit your lifestyle. Together, we’ll focus on mindful nutrition, sustainable habits, and optimizing your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.

Your first session with Zemira

In our first session, we’ll take time to explore your health history, nutrition habits, lifestyle, and goals in a supportive, judgment-free space. I’ll listen carefully to understand what’s been working—and what hasn’t—so we can identify the root causes of any challenges. Together, we’ll create an initial plan focused on realistic changes that align with your priorities and pace. You’ll leave the session with clarity, actionable steps, and a sense of partnership on your wellness journey.
