Our approach goes beyond meal plans; it involves an understanding of your history & lifestyle, symptoms, diet and food habits, preferences, conventional + functional lab testing, and health goals to create a personalized care plan for you while integrating lifestyle factors, stress resilience, and mindfulness practices.
No two individuals are alike, and neither should their nutrition plans be. Our personalized care plans are designed to meet your specific needs, considering your goals, preferences, and any health challenges you may be facing.
Made with Barakah is a virtual integrative & functional nutrition private practice based in Dallas, Texas.

sick care System vs. preventive care
Food is essentially the building blocks of life
Food is quite literally the building blocks of what shapes and creates our cells, the entire ecosystem we call our gut microbiome, our hormones - and ALL of these internal systems dictate the trajectory of our life from motivation and energy levels to our daily focus and mood.
When you properly nourish your body, you're nourishing your current and future self - those versions of you that uses high quality food and nutrients as a resource for optimal energy levels, clear focus, a balanced mood, and of course - a healthy weight. When you look your best you feel your best and vice versa.
With each bite of food, you're powering your body on for not only your daily activities but for the rest of your life. Your choosing the trajectory of your life by prioritizing nutrition and long term nourishment.

Why I'm passionate about nutrition & helping others improve their health
Tired of the Bandaid Approach Lifestyle?
Whether you're dealing with a chronic health condition, gut health issues, gut microbiome imbalances, hormonal imbalances, or simply want to prioritize your health, this approach addresses the root causes instead of a quick fix bandaid approach that only only masks symptoms. When you improve your nutrition, you improve every other aspect of your health. We look at the full picture of your health instead of just a snapshot.

What happens when we work together
I received my Bachelors of Science in Human Nutrition and Foods at the University of Houston. In between graduating and completing my dietetic internship at Illinois State University, I moved to Palestine and Istanbul where I completed a semester at Birzeit University in an MBA program as well as a 9 month program studying Islamic Sciences and Classical Arabic at the Ibn Haldun and Al-Madina Institute Arabic Program.
I went on to receive advanced training in Integrative and Functional Nutrition from The Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy (IFNA), in educational partnership with The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM).
I'm currently licensed in the state of Texas & helping clients with their health and nutrition goals from various states virtually.
You can find me getting my daily 10-20k steps in, checking my sleep score, reading up on the latest in nutrition, functional medicine, and health on my kindle (see what I'm reading here!), basking in the sun, baking sourdough bread, making batches of homemade yogurt, or trying out new cafes with family and friends!
