Hi, I’m Shira Sussi

Registered dietitian nutritionist, culinary enthusiast, writer, and most importantly, mom.

My experience as a dietitian and parent have given me a unique insight into the vulnerability of pregnancy, new motherhood, and feeding a family — and the compassionate support needed to sensibly nourish oneself through it.

About Shira

Eating and feeding aren’t always easy

We find ourselves second-guessing what to eat, what to serve and how to build healthy eating habits at home. From pregnancy through parenthood, I provide research-backed support in maternal nutrition and feeding strategies for infants and toddlers — helping families feel more confident, stress less, and nourish themselves and their children with clarity and ease.

  • Shira is brilliant—an adjective based on comparative experiences with other nutritional counseling. I cannot believe what we compressed into an hour or less. Dozens of prepared questions of mine, specific and manifold suggestions on dietary changes and additions. A very ideational meeting.

  • Before working with Shira I felt less reassured, more doubtful about feeding. Shira was able to empathize and provide tactical examples and snack recipes. I'm more confident and happy with the plan we have in place.

  • Thank you so much for our conversation and this follow up summary! I'm still amazed by how quickly and compassionately you were able to zero in on some of my current areas of opportunity and formulate very approachable goals to start making progress.
