About
Meet Saima
Hi, I'm Saima - founder of Nutrisma, a nutrition counseling private practice. As a registered dietitian I am dedicated to help individuals improve their health through practical, personalized nutrition. I specialize in oncology nutrition, weight management and chronic disease management, including heart and digestive conditions.
With a strong foundation in evidence based practice, I support my clients navigating complex health challenges with clarity and confidence. Whether you're managing a new diagnosis, looking to improve your relationship with food, or seeking long-term wellness, I offer compassionate, tailored guidance to meet your unique needs.
When I'm not working with clients, I love spending time in the kitchen - cooking, baking and enjoying meals with my family. I love traveling with family and visiting national parks in the United States.
Through my private practice, I strive to make nutrition approachable, empowering and rooted in what matters most- your health and your life.
My approach to nutrition
I believe in meeting people where they are with empathy, cultural sensitivity and evidence-based nutrition care. Whether you're recovering from illness or building lifelong habits, I provide guidance rooted in science and heart.
Healing through food
I believe in the power of food as medicine but also as comfort, connection and care. Whether you're navigating cancer treatment, chronic health conditions, or simply want to feel better in your body, I'll help you rebuild your relationship with food.
