WORK EXPERIENCE [pic]

Sep 12 - Present Dietician and Nutrition Educator

Self-Employed, Tehran (Iran)

"Improving public health and education" has always been an

important and initial factor for me. That was the reason

that I started my own company with the goal of losing

weight by improving life style and eating habits, educating

individuals and empowering them to find their inner

strength to embrace and be embraced by others for lifetime.

I offer a unique and one in a kind package, which includes

individual and group meetings. Educating the patients about

healthy life style, food choices and practical ways to

reach their healthy weight, while prescribing individual

diets on weekly basis, focus group discussions to talk

about milestones gained and to be gained, challenges and

solutions are of the main activities. Changing the unreal

self-images and increasing self-satisfaction are also aimed

at in the meetings.

As a complementary part of the program, individuals are

provided a gym pass with personal trainer twice a week in a

nearby gym.

The package takes 3 months initially with eventual

follow-ups, if needed, and monthly meetings with the group.
