Tangible Wellness

I was referred to a dietician for my 3 year old daughter by her pediatrician, which is what led me to Alia Virjee. Although my daughter was not a particularly “picky” eater, there were definitely areas where we needed the guidance of a professional. Alia’s help was a breath of fresh air. She was kind, thorough and so helpful. With just a basic understanding of where my daughter was and what issues we were facing, she was able to create a personalized plan that has stayed with us, long after our appointments with her. What we’ve found most helpful were her tips on how to make food fun, how to get my daughter involved in the kitchen and what phrases to use/avoid at mealtimes. In a very short time, my daughter has been back on track towards a healthy weight and mealtimes have been so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend Alia!

Alia, the dietitian, is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I met with Alia to discuss introducing solids to my then 6 month-old baby daughter. Being a first time mom, I had so many questions regarding this matter. Alia is very personable and made me feel very comfortable right away. She has a wealth of knowledge and provided me with so much useful information. After her session, I felt confident in beginning solids with my daughter. Alia also provided me with a lot of helpful resources that I used to help me along the way. I continued seeing Alia for nutrition advice regarding my daughter. These check-ins were very helpful for me. My daughter went through some picky eating phases and Alia provided me with helpful strategies to address this and ensure proper nutrition for my daughter. I am really happy with my sessions with Alia and I highly reccomend her.
