Maya is the owner of the Southwest Dietitian Group and a 16-year registered dietitian, specializing in weight loss and hormone balancing, and a beacon of resilience and transformation. Raised in a Lebanese household where food symbolized love, she battled weight and health issues from an early age.

Her personal struggle with trauma and CPTSD deeply informs her practice. Maya has dedicated her life to mastering the science of neuroplasticity, habit change, and the powerful influence of mindset on health. She transformed herself by embracing her past and learning how to feel, thus finding her passion in helping others achieve sustainable weight loss and emotional balance. Maya's unique blend of formal education and lived experiences make her a compassionate and insightful guide for women on similar paths, emphasizing not just what to eat, but how to think and feel in the process.

I'm Madeline, a registered dietitian with a passion for fostering a healthier relationship with food. With a Master's degree in Community Medical Dietetics from Viterbo University in Wisconsin, I've learned how to help individuals and communities make informed, sustainable choices for their well-being.

My journey in the realm of nutrition has been deeply influenced by my own personal battle with restrictive diets and an unhealthy relationship with food. It was during these challenging moments that I realized the importance of not just understanding what we eat but also why we eat. I embarked on a mission to heal my own relationship with food, and in doing so, I found my true calling as a dietitian.

I believe that food should never be the enemy but rather a source of nourishment, pleasure, and self-care.Whether you're seeking to manage a medical condition, improve your overall wellness, or simply want to make peace with your plate, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
