My Story

Hello, I am Stéphanie Nehmé and everyone calls me Steph!

I am a registered dietitian with international experience who worked in reputable hospitals, clinics and catering services in both Lebanon and Dubai, where I was leading a team of dietitians as well as project managing the company’s meal plans and website development.

I am currently based in France and consult online in English, French and Arabic.

I believe food is one of the greatest simple pleasures in life and my holistic approach includes:

• Maintaining a GOOD RELATIONSHIP with food and with your body

• Understanding that AWARENESS and MINDFULNESS are the key factors to achieving healthy bodies and happy minds

• STAYING AWAY from strict or fad diets that feel like punishments

• Re-learning about INTUITIVE EATING and how to listen to your body’s signals

• Acknowledging that overall good health starts in the GUT

• Enjoying exercising and finding the workout program that works for YOU

I am also passionate about psychology and its relationship with our food habits and lifestyle. I believe that understanding the psychological factors that influence our eating behaviors is essential for achieving lasting and sustainable weight management and overall health improvements.

My main mission is to encourage you and guide you through your health and fitness journey, as well as keeping you updated with the latest findings in nutrition!

I can’t wait to work with you on improving your health, lifestyle and wellbeing! Your body and mind will thank you!

Stéphanie
