Work Experience
Hi!
​I’m Norah, a registered dietitian nutritionist who has always had a passion for health and wellness. My passion emerged during my third year of college after an internship in Kenya where I worked with a team to educate the locals about health, hygiene, nutrition and agriculture. That's when my journey into understanding the importance of food and nutrition began. I also fell in love with fitness and exercise and understood the importance of incorporating fitness and nutrition in my life. Through education and practice, I've discovered and encompassed both, nutrition and fitness as the forefront of my life. I have assimilated both aspects into my everyday routine, and they are now a fundamental part of my life. Through continued learning and practice, I strive to achieve a healthier lifestyle by maintaining a balance between fitness and nutrition.
I am a firm believer in the mantra of "eating clean and training dirty." This means that with proper nutrition and regular exercise, individuals can achieve their health and fitness goals and maintain a sustainable lifestyle. I strive to empower my clients with the knowledge and tools they need to make healthy choices, stay motivated, and enjoy the process of getting fit. I am dedicated to helping individuals achieve their wellness goals and live their best lives.
After several years working in the human services field as a Recreation therapist, program director, behavioral therapist and working as a nutritionist and certified personal trainer, I decided to pursue a Graduate degree and earned a Master’s degree in Nutrition for human performance, at Lasell University and completed my dietetic internship with Sodexo dietetic internships at HCA Houston Healthcare in Webster and Pasadena, Texas. During my internship, I worked with critically ill patients in the ICU, provided medical nutrition therapy to patients with various conditions like: Diabetes, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal disease, HIV and AIDS, oncology, liver/pancreatic disease, renal disease, pulmonary disease. Also, I worked with outpatient weight management/bariatric surgery patients and cared for patients who required enteral and parenteral nutrition support. In addition to clinical experience, I’ve attained experience in Food Service management, community nutrition and senior living, through working in various capacities and conducting several research studies and projects.
As a registered dietitian, I have extensive experience working in different levels of care, from inpatient to outpatient settings. I have worked as an in-patient clinical dietitian in Brighton MA, as a community/geriatric dietitian in Cambridge, MA and as a behavioral health dietitian in Pembroke, MA. At Body Sculpt and Nutrition Consulting, LLC, I provide our clients with both, medical nutrition therapy & nutrition and fitness consulting. These experiences have allowed me to develop a diverse skillset in managing various dietary requirements and health conditions. With an in-depth knowledge of nutrition and its impact on health, I provide evidenced based recommendations to clients whether they are undergoing treatments or seeking advice on healthy eating habits. My passion for helping people achieve optimal health continues to motivate me in my work every day.
