I had a wonderful experience with Nishaat. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. She took the time to explain everything clearly and provided practical recommendations tailored to my needs. I appreciated how thoroughly she answered my questions and made sure I understood her advice. I left the appointment feeling informed, supported, and motivated. I would highly recommend Nishaat to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable dietitian. - via Google, June 2026

I don't know where to start!! We had a genuine connection at hello because of her genuine excitement which she states and her natural ability and desire to help us struggling clients. She is extremely knowledgeable and not pushy. She listened to me and heard me. We worked together which is so necessary for success. There's so much I received from her in a short time. I would recommend her services with absolute sincerity. I'm truly grateful for meeting her and having her abilities to guide me to a healthier outcome. - via Google, June 2026

I am loving working with Valentina. I was eating so little, I had a bad relationship with food specially with veggies and I was not losing weight. She understood my situation, and she is helping me so much. Now I am losing weight, eating so well, enjoying every meal, which for me was impossible. She also speak Spanish which makes it so much easier for me. I am so thankful and genuinely happy to be in this journey with her. - via Google, June 2026

I’ve received lots of really great information that fit my personal situation. Love the recipe ideas. They are a great kickstart to eating a bit differently for me and adding variety to my diet. I’ve also learned how to reframe some things about my diet that had me stuck. I bought the Complete program and am really finding the nutrition courses that come with it helpful and informative. - via Google, June 2026

I really enjoyed my session yesterday with Nav. I felt she was truly invested in my worries and hopes. She provided great advise and guidance simply through conversation. She provided insight and facts to answer my whys, without be even asking why. She was very inspiring. I am looking forward to working with her over the next several months. - via email, May 2026
