MY STORY

It began with
my own search.

I’m a wife, a mom, and a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor. Before the titles and training, I was a young woman trying to understand why eating had become a source of discomfort and stress.

My experience with digestive challenges, alongside my father’s illness, led me to study functional nutrition and look at the whole person: food, stress, sleep, environment, and the routines that shape our days.

That journey still informs how I coach today: with curiosity, compassion, and practical steps that make room for real life.

Education & credentials

  • Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor
  • Certified Gut Health Specialist
  • IIN Health Coach

My current focus is pursuing board certification and exploring part-time corporate coaching opportunities.

MY APPROACH

Small steps.
A whole-person perspective.

Wellness is personal. I start with your story, then help you find practical habits that fit your circumstances, priorities, and daily life.

01

Start by listening

Your experiences, routines, and goals matter. A warm, thoughtful conversation creates the space to understand what support feels useful to you.

02

Connect the everyday

Food, movement, stress, and sleep all belong in the conversation. We look at your habits together, with room for your individual needs.

03

Make change doable

We work with practical steps, encouragement, and accountability. Progress can begin with one manageable habit, rather than a perfect plan.

PROFESSIONAL CONNECTIONS

Bringing a compassionate coaching perspective to the workplace.

I’m interested in conversations about part-time corporate wellness and health coaching opportunities as I continue my professional development.

“Starting my journey with Majd, I struggled with eating habits, and lasting changes felt overwhelming. Majd emphasized balanced nutrition and mindful eating, guiding me to focus on protein, fiber, and healthy fats. With her support, I learned to listen to my body’s cues and honor true fullness.

Majd’s insight was invaluable in helping me recognize and overcome subtle but impactful habits—like distractions, rushed meals, and putting others’ needs before my own self-care.”

Wellness notes

How to maintain a healthy microbiomeRead wellness note

Supporting your microbiome begins with everyday routines. Think about the variety on your plate, your relationship with food, and the space you make for rest.

Bring variety to your plate

Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains offer different kinds of fiber. Add variety gradually and pay attention to what feels comfortable for you.

Explore familiar foods

Majd’s original article highlights fiber-rich foods and fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, kimchi, and sauerkraut. Choose foods that suit your preferences and individual needs.

Make room for a pause

A few minutes to breathe, stretch, pray, or step outside can be a practical way to take a break. No perfect routine is required.

Start with a small change that feels doable. Notice how food, stress, and rest fit together in your own day.

Five signs your gut needs extra loveRead wellness note

Majd’s original article explores five experiences that can prompt a closer look at your well-being: digestive discomfort, low energy, skin changes, weight fluctuations, and changes in stress or focus.

These experiences can have many causes. They are a starting point for noticing patterns and discussing ongoing concerns with a qualified healthcare professional, rather than a way to diagnose a gut condition.

Notice your routines

Make time for unhurried meals, consider the variety of foods you eat, and look at the space you give yourself for rest and movement.

Choose one manageable step

A quieter meal, a short walk, or a moment to pause can be a gentle place to begin. You don’t have to change everything at once.
