Clearer communication and focus

Fewer meltdowns and more connection

Relief from bloating, constipation, and diarrhea

Confidence that you're supporting long-term development

What if things could be different? Imagine this:

Peaceful Mealtimes

Your child eats a wide variety of foods without the constant fights and refusals. They’re getting the nutrients they need to support their brain and body. Mealtimes are family time that you look forward to.

A Calmer, More Comfortable Child

As your child’s gut grows healthier, you notice fewer digestive issues and meltdowns. Their mood stabilizes, and their energy levels improve. The whole family feels the relief.

Steady Progress in Therapies

Your child’s therapies start to show more meaningful results. Nutrition is the missing piece that supports their brain health and development, amplifying the effects of the other treatments you’ve worked so hard to secure.

The Gradual Unveiling of Your Child's Personality

As your child’s mind and body are better supported through nutrition, you notice their real personality coming to the surface. Without the food sensitivities and internal noise, they begin to express themselves more fully. You see glimpses of the unique spark that makes them who they are.

Hope for the Future

You begin to see positive changes and the stress and fear start to ease. You no longer feel trapped in an endless cycle of worry. Instead, a sense of hope starts to take root as you envision a brighter future for your child, knowing you’re on the right path.

Feeling Confident and In Control

You no longer feel lost or uncertain. You know exactly what your child needs in terms of nutrition and how it will help them. Finally, you have a plan that supports both their mind and body.

But, instead, is this your reality?

Picky Eating That's Taken Over Your Life

Every meal feels like a battle. You’re running out of ideas, your child only eats a handful of foods, and you’re worried they’re missing out on essential nutrients.

Digestive Problems You Can't Seem to Solve

Constipation, bloating, or diarrhea—sometimes all in one week. You’ve tried probiotics, special diets, everything. But the gut issues keep coming back, affecting their mood, sleep, and energy. You feel helpless not being able to ease their discomfort.

Behavioral Meltdowns and Emotional Rollercoasters

You never know when the next meltdown is coming. Even the smallest change can send your child into a spiral of overwhelming emotions. You know there’s more going on beneath the surface, but you’re struggling to connect the dots and find a solution.

Therapies That Don't Feel Like Enough

You’ve invested time, money, and hope into speech therapy, OT, ABA—everything you can think of. And while these services are important, progress feels slow and stunted.

Hurting From the Disconnect

Your heart aches for your child. You know there’s a beautiful, curious, and joyful person inside, but it feels like their true personality is hidden behind sensory overload and food sensitivities.

Exhaustion From the Unknown

You’re doing all you can, but it still feels like you’re running in circles. What’s the missing piece? Is there something you haven’t tried yet? You just want clarity and a path that makes sense for your child.

I'm Offering A New Way Forward — One That Renews Hope

I understand how lonely and exhausting it can be

when you’re doing everything you can — and still not seeing the changes your child needs.

You’ve tried the therapies. Maybe even changed their diet. But deep down, you know something more can be done. I’m here to tell you: you’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone.

What’s missing isn’t your effort — it’s a full picture of what your child’s brain and body need to heal.

The Real Root of What's Going On

More and more research — and more families — are pointing to the same thing: the gut-brain connection. What happens in the belly doesn’t stay in the belly. When digestion, immunity, and detox pathways aren’t working right, they show up as behavior, mood, sleep, learning challenges… and yes, even pickiness and potty issues. Using a logical, evidence-based approach, we get to the root of what’s keeping your child stuck — and start rebuilding health from the inside out.

Why Work With Me?

I’m not here to just push another diet on you.

I’m here because I know what’s possible when we look at the full picture — and because I’ve helped families like yours see changes they were told would never happen.

As a Certified GAPS Practitioner, Certified Nutrition Specialist®, and mom of three, I understand what it’s like to want real help — not just another list of supplements. I’ll walk alongside you, step by step, helping you understand your child’s body and how to support it — with food, lifestyle, and compassion.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Let’s talk and see if this approach makes sense for your child.

Changing our diet made all other interventions like therapy and school more impactful and justified all the time and resources being spent on them. I could not be more grateful for having Lubna as our nutritionist. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

"I love you, Mom..."

Out of nowhere, [my son] came up to me and said, 'I love you, Mom.' He's never said that to me before. Of course, I know he loves me, but it's the first time he was able to express it.

"Amazing..."

The protocol that she provides is amazing, but what makes her approach stand out is her personality. She is very understanding, compassionate, and empathic...

"Solutions to Optimize..."

Most nutrition programs are rather cookie cutter. Here, Lubna listened and took time to understand how my body was working and create solutions to optimize my own body.

Your Child Deserves More Than Symptom Management

Just because you’ve worked with a nutritionist doesn’t mean you’ve worked with me.

Pediatric care and standard nutrition advice often focus on managing symptoms or following generalized guidelines. But when your child’s challenges go deeper, surface-level strategies fall short. Way short. My approach supports the whole child — starting from the inside out — to address the root causes behind what you’re seeing every day. This is where real transformation begins.

Feature / Focus	My Approach	Traditional Nutritionist / RD	Traditional Pediatrician
Gut-brain axis support	✅ Foundational to everything I do — supports brain, mood, sleep, and behavior by healing the gut, step by step.	⚠️ May recommend probiotics, but often without sequencing or gut readiness in mind.	⚠️ Rarely acknowledged or addressed. May recommend general probiotic at best.
Tailored food plans for picky eating	✅ Gentle, sensory-informed strategies to increase nutrient-dense foods. Without a clear plan here, nothing else works.	⚠️ General guidelines, calorie targets, often plant-heavy. Few tools for real progress with picky eaters.	❌ Basic advice to take a multivitamin and "eat better" or referrals; no real support structure.
Lab interpretation	✅ Reviews labs functionally to identify inflammation, depletion, and gut dysfunction — then acts on it nutritionally.	⚠️ Interprets based on standard ranges, often disconnected from behavior or symptoms.	✅ Can order labs, but usually only flags extreme or diagnostic values.
Root-cause approach to GI issues	✅ Focuses on gut lining, microbial balance, and inflammation — not just symptoms.	⚠️ Often treats constipation or reflux with fiber/elimination, not true gut repair.	❌ Symptom-based: Miralax, reflux meds, or referrals.
Ongoing support between sessions	✅ Unlimited messaging and regular check-ins — you're never left on your own.	❌ Session-based; no between-visit support.	❌ No communication between appointments.
Shared goal: helping your child thrive	✅ Yes — not just in growth charts, but in calm, comfort, and connection at home.	✅ Yes — through USDA-based advice and food trends. Often overlooks fats and nutrients vital for neurodevelopment.	✅ Yes — through a clinical lens focused on developmental norms and symptom tracking.
