As an Integrative Health Practitioner and Health Coach who is passionate about body & mind, Daira specializes in finding the underlying root cause instead of merely covering up symptoms with medications. She is very much involved in educating her clients about the true power of food, balanced meal planning as well as teaching children and families how to shop, cook, and eat healthy on a budget.
With over 8 years of experience in nutrition and wellness, Daira specializes in customized planning that fits the individual needs of her clients, whether to reach weight/fat loss goals, optimize fitness performance, or simply adapt to healthier eating habits. Besides her formal education in Food Science and Nutrition, Daira spent time learning about the body on a much deeper level. She expanded her expertise and learned how the environment, stress, toxins, and hormones impact our health and aging process. What started as a curiosity became a fulfilling career of helping others explore health and longevity. The optimal approach is achieved by creating a balance between what is realistic and what is desired. Daira lives in Washington D.C. with her partner Steve, two cats Bruce and Claire, and dog Wilow. Besides Nutrition, she is passionate about the environment and devoted to the wellbeing of animals. In her free time, Daira enjoys meditation, reading, hiking, and playing basketball.
“Daira is fantastic to work with! I started working with her a couple of years ago and she has been able to provide amazing guidance through crazy work schedules, travel, and a ton of changes in my life! She has been great for so much information on how to handle going out or how to introduce or reintroduce new foods in the most healthful manners! I’ve lost about 20 lbs and my health has been fantastic whenever I go to the doctor!” – Travis G.
“I first met Daira a year out before my wedding. I had gained weight from my new job and I wanted to lose a few pounds before my big day. My goal was to focus on my nutrition and build a new relationship with food. Daira worked with me to focus on some sustainable goals and shared a wealth of knowledge and tips on how to manage my eating habits while still maintaining my social life. After a few months, I gained muscle, lost body fat, and learned how to balance my macros while not being on a diet. Daira encouraged me to eat more but smarter and helped update my workout regimen to lose overall body fat. She was patient with me when I had a bad week and listened closely to my weaknesses. She truly cares about your health and wants to see you succeed. I felt healthy, happy, and fit on my big day and I thank Daira for helping me stay consistent.” – Jennifer A.
