If you are curious to know more, here are a few facts you didn’t know about me that led me here:
-
When someone asks me where I am from – I say I am “global” because I was born in Kuwait, grew up in Egypt, have roots in India, studied in the USA, reside in Canada and have traveled to 20 different countries and have friends in 5 different continents – & I know foods from all these cultures. Especially Middle Eastern & South Asian cuisines.
-
I grew up living with the worst picky eater in the world (who ate only cucumbers for breakfast, lunch and dinner) and have relatives dealing with similar picky eaters – giving me a unique perspective on both the child’s and the parents’ struggle with feeding.
-
As a teenager, like any other teen, I was swept up with the peer-pressure of dieting and weight loss, which only resulted in negative impact on my health. Including hair loss, height stunt and PCOS. Over the years in my practice with clients, I learned how – the weight stigma and the way parents react with girls as they are struggling with weight – impacts self-esteem and the lifelong relationships of people to food. It is, in many cases, the reaction of parents that can make or break the future of your weight cycles (and obesity). This is why I counsel both parents and children when it comes to the sensitive issue of weight, PCOS, picky eating and eating disorders.
-
Most of my group consultations have been to special needs children and adults with mental disabilities – I feel they resonate well with me and I resonate with them best!
- My passion lies with helping young girls (and their parents!) and women with PCOS lead guilt-free and stress-free lives. I can relate with their deep struggles and have the unique ability to help them accomplish their goals, whether it is to reduce their symptoms, help in weight loss/maintenance, prevent complications or help them become pregnant.
What makes me unique in my approach is…
- My culturally diverse knowledge of food and food practices around the world
- My personal experiences & connections with the struggles of PCOS, Picky Eaters, Special Needs, Diabetes and Cancer.
- With the knowledge of nutrients and medical nutrition therapy that I have gained over my years in the field, I am passionate about helping people overcoming their struggles in a simplified, realistic & tailored approach that has life-long results. I don’t believe in diets because they don’t work.
We can work well together if you also believe in using the natural approach to healthy living, are not looking for a short-term solution to your health problems and appreciate a step-wise process for lifelong success and prevention.
"I was told many things to get my picky daughter to eat. But it never worked and it never helped me. I learned in this course that it’s not about the food but the lifestyle. By following this step-by-step plan you will stop cooking separate meals, and stop using the hard way. Best of all, this plan will make life easy and save time"
- Najiha, Mother of 4 & 6 year old daughters
"This course taught me to take a step back as a parent, especially around mess. I used to cringe and would only stick to what works. I was scared to introduce rice but through this course I learned to let her do her own thing, and gave her rice and let her get a feel of the texture, which was new!"
- Tash, Mother of 16 month old
"I have always hated finicky eaters. I don’t have children yet but I am expecting my first one in a few months. I have seen many parents who use many different tricks to feed their child. It looks like a chore. Now that I am going to have a child, I have been thinking about what I will be feeding him and what equipment I need to make pureed foods. I was getting overwhelmed with the options. I have already decided to make all my baby’s food at home and not get those expensive baby food jars, but honestly I haven’t given much thought about anything else regarding feeding.
But when I took this course, I thought it would be about how to feed kids well so they don’t become a picky eater, but it was so so much more than that! When I used to see my friend’s brother using a toy to bribe his daughter to feed her, I thought it was a lot of work, but I thought it was completely normal. I have grown up seeing plenty of parents using tricks like these, so I never had any second thoughts about it. It was interesting for me to learn from this course how this can have life long consequences on weight and behaviour and how far back these habits can start. I have only been thinking about what I will be feeding my baby but I never thought about the technique. But now after going through this I am definitely going to concentrate on the technique much more.
I also feel relieved and really good in knowing that I won’t have to spend so much time preparing meals. In my mind I thought that I will have to gets lots of kid friendly foods and find new recipes, I am excited that now I can concentrate less on that, and more on my child.
It was also new for me to learn that crying is the last stage of hunger for a child, I always thought that it’s the only way to know. I thought that when a baby cried it could only mean one of three things, either they are hungry, sleepy or need a diaper change, but this course completely changed my perspective. It’s funny that a lot of parents don’t know this and use crying as a cue. It really helped me, as an expecting parent, to know that now I can set a schedule and not be worried about when my child is hungry - that’s one other thing I can cross off from my list of things to worry about.
Knowing what I know now after I took this course I am going to use the “solutions” provided, as a guide to help prepare me for my coming newborn and his life ahead. I was pretty much on the track to make a lot of these mistakes with my kid - had I not gone through this course. I am now not going to go down that road and make the mistakes many parents make to cause their child to have eating problems. I was lucky enough to take this course early on.
My note to expecting parents’ is that this course is a great resource to set you on the path to make the right habits from the get go and feed your child efficiently, not only through their infancy but all the way into their adulthood, and all the while making your life EASY while doing this.
This is one resource I am going to hold on to for every stage of my child’s life. I know I will be referring back to it over and over again..
