Nour holds a BSc in dietetics from the UAE University and is currently pursuing a Master’s in management from the UK’s University of Liverpool. She has completed numerous courses for professional credits at the UAE University and serves as supervising nutritionist at the Sheikh Khalifa Medical City. She has always believed that human health, diet and exercise are connected. “Being in a family with the medical background (I have two sisters who are doctors)… I wanted to know more about what I believed and wanted to stay in the field and find a more holistic approach to prevent and control diseases such as diabetes and hypertension and that approach can only be achieved through diet and food”. 

She believes a support system is critical to helping people challenged with health and weight issues “…and I can proudly say that my patients see me as their support system. I learned to listen, to understand where they come from and most importantly, I learned to believe in them because that will make them believe they can and will achieve their desired goal, once reached, that’s where I see my success”.
