What MY CLIENTS Are Saying:
“Zhaleh has been a wealth of information on this Bariatric Journey. I had to re-learn how to eat in moderation because my pouch is now the size of an egg. She has taught me how to get enough vitamins and fiber along with the protein I am required to eat every day. I have been able to lose weight under her guidance without ever feeling deprived or hungry. I am thankful to her for teaching me how important it is to count macros and keep a food journal. She has been a delight to work with because of her good humor and energetic personality.”

“As a support person Zhaleh has helped educate not only on nutrition, but how to encourage our loved one as well. She thoroughly explains the mechanical and emotional reasons we overeat. Highly recommend her.”

“I joined classes as an outsider, and was welcomed in and accepted, even though my surgical intervention was not at the local facilities.
My FAVORITE class was on mindful eating. We did not have food in hand, but we closed our eyes and we were walked through both a visual (minds eye) and actual tasting of the apple we were imagining. That ‘exercise’ is still with me, 3.5 years later.
My Support Person, my Hubby, attended all classes with me. He learned how better to support me in my journey.
I have learned many techniques that have contributed to my success. Through humor, and life examples, Zhaleh has given me the best gift ever: knowledge and tools to navigate my journey.
I have had the pleasure of attending a convention to experience in person again, the education and humor mixed with serious facts with visual aids to help the information ‘stick’ better. Thank you Zee!”

What MY CLIENTS Are Saying:
“I am here to share my amazing experience with you about Zhaleh. What I love about her, I love her energy, her passion, and her simplicity. Her knowledge and connection with traditional eating habits for bariatric patients and traditional ways of cooking also helped me connect more with my after life journey with gastric bypass surgery. She doesn't only work on the food but also your workouts which will eventually help your stamina and success with life after weight loss surgery. She makes it simple yet interesting. I love her motto “ Stop Dieting and Start Living.” So if you are looking for a dietitian, you know where to go!”

“With bariatric surgery I lost most of my excess weight within a year. Such a miracle!! But it’s with Zhaleh’s coaching that I feel confident about keeping the weight off. At the end of that first year I had so many questions that only a nutritionist could answer. How much protein do I need? How do I incorporate more veggies? How do I keep the weight off forever? Zhaleh is helping me with all of that and more. I am so grateful for her knowledge, liveliness, encouragement, and kindness! Thank you, Zhaleh!”

“Hello my name is Trish Howeth, I'm a 16 year RNY post op patient. I had been attending her nutrition class for several years, she knew my current eating habits and food choices. With all her knowledge from working with Bariatric patients I decided to reach out to her personally for some help in adjusting my current eating routine. Zhaleh and I worked together after looking at my food diary, she made several suggestions to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into my daily food. She supplied me with weekly menus, recipes and shopping list also. She also suggested increasing and including different types of exercise into my daily schedule. I can't express my gratitude for all the help that she has given me that will help me to continue to live a healthy lifestyle for many years. Thank you Zhaleh.”
