At Made with Barakah, we believe in long-term health and nourishment. We guide women toward lasting wellness by addressing the root causes of symptoms, not just a quick fix approach. Our approach is deeply personalized, blending personalized nutrition, functional lab insights, lifestyle factors, stress resilience, and mindful nourishment into every care plan.

No two bodies are the same and your care shouldn’t be either. Everything we do is customized to your medical history, health goals, food preferences, and labs.

Made with Barakah is a Virtual functional Medicine private practice based in Texas.

About Us

Functional Medicine private practice

Every bite sends signals to your hormones, your gut microbiome, your immune system, and your nervous system. When we nourish well, we build resilience, clarity, energy, and balance from the inside out. 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 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.

You deserve a healthy body that supports long term health, not quick fix approaches or bandaid solutions. That’s exactly what we help you create.


Food isn’t just fuel: it’s energy, information, Instruction, Nourishment for every cell in your body.

Our Philosophy: Nourish Better, Heal Long-term

Functional Nutrition: The root-cause approach

Before I started practicing functional nutrition, I experienced firsthand how conventional approaches can miss the bigger picture. Chronic stress, hormonal imbalances, and gut issues affect every part of life: energy, mood, digestion, skin, sleep, and more. I became passionate about functional nutrition because I saw how transformative it can be when you treat the whole person using a systems based approach.

Functional nutrition/functional medicine

When I’m not helping clients improve their health, you’ll find me:

  • Getting in my daily 10, 15, or 20k steps

  • Reading the latest in nutrition, functional medicine, and holistic health

  • Trying new cafes with family and friends

  • Soaking up the sunlight

Beyond Nutrition

beyond nutrition:

Whether you're dealing with a chronic health condition, gut health issues, gut microbiome imbalances, hormonal imbalances, or simply want to prioritize your health, the whole body, root-cause approach addresses the root causes instead of a quick fix bandaid approach that 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. 


Tired of the Bandaid Approach Lifestyle?

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 spent time overseas, completing a semester in an MBA program at Birzeit University in Palestine and a nine-month program in Islamic Sciences and Classical/Qur’anic Arabic through Al-Madina and Ibn Khaldun University in Istanbul.

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 15-20k steps on a nature trail, checking my sleep score, reading on my kindle, basking in the sun, baking sourdough bread, or trying out new cafes with family and friends!
