Hi - I’m Shira, a mother of two and a dietitian of 10+ years. My experience as a clinician and within my home have given me a unique perspective on the vulnerability of pregnancy, postpartum and feeding a family — and how to sustainably and sensibly nourish oneself through it.
There is so much noise when it comes to feeding yourself and your kids during this phase of life. Everyone’s an expert - your mother-in-law, best friend, Google - tapping into the deepest vulnerability of am I doing this right?
I’m here to support you with high-quality nutrition counseling through pregnancy, parenthood and beyond.
Finding advice is easy, but figuring out what works best for your unique needs can be a challenge. This is where I come in: breaking down the research, helping you understand the nutrition, and collaborating together on strategies that work for you and your family.
I’ve worked with thousands of women and families and one thing I know for certain is that dietary rules, should-and-should-nots don’t work for parents, either with feeding themselves or their children. It turns eating into a stressful chore. It takes the joy out of feeding, the fun out of food.
My goal is to help you feel confident, encouraged and supported, and focus on what’s most important: take the stress out of eating and feeding, and achieve your goals in a sustainable way.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the sense of responsibility of what to eat or how to feed your kids - you’re not alone. I’m here to partner with you, empower you, and help you feel confident feeding yourself and your family.
Let me help you, mama, reclaim the confidence of feeding.
