“Seeing Atheer has been a total game-changer for me. I first reached out because I was super overwhelmed with my inability to control my terrible eating habits and dealing with some annoying stomach issues. But from day one, she made me feel completely heard; and she was absolutely never judgmental of my slip-ups. No strict, boring diets to follow; she took the time to understand my crazy work and side-hussle schedules and helped me build totally realistic food habits. She taught me how to actually tune into my body. ”
