Media, brand partnership & recipe creation

Creating content, sharing messages and developing recipes your audience will love!

As a registered dietitian-nutritionist, expert in nutrition and creator of Smart Mouth Nutrition, I am passionate about sharing my love for healthy eating and the science behind it.

As both a practitioner and a nutrition communications consultant, I translate the science into bite-sized language for consumers, readers, healthcare professionals and the media.

Let’s Work Together

Strong Nutrition Advice

Media Consulting & Brand Partnership

Put simply: I love sharing nutrition messages on TV, in a podcast, on radio or in print! Exuding a strong and easy-going media presence, I have appeared regularly on numerous TV segments, radio and podcast shows for well over a decade. And, I have been featured on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and NPR affiliate stations in the Denver, Washington DC, Richmond, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham and Greensboro/Winston-Salem, NC markets.

I have also been quoted in print and online hundreds of times. National print media appearances include Men’s Health, Women’s Health, Runner’s World, Real Simple, Forbes, Fitness, Reader’s Digest, Family Circle, Parents, Washingtonian, Washington Post, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, San Diego Union-Tribune, Jewish Journal, Huffington Post, Beach Body, Fitbit, Popsugar, SheKnows, Politico, RadioMD, Bustle and more.

Using practical tips and tweaks, easy-to-understand science and hands-on demos, I am passionate about empowering audiences to make healthful lifestyle changes that they can incorporate easily and for the long haul.

Impactful Nutrition Content

Writing & Speaking

Get ready for clear and succinct nutrition information that cuts through the clutter! Before my dietitian days, I worked in the PR and marketing agency world. Combining those skills with my nutrition expertise, I translate the science into impactful and engaging messaging for consumers, readers and fellow practitioners.

Existing nutrition information in the media can be confusing, contradictory and, sometimes, downright wrong. I have a proven track record of setting the nutrition record straight and sharing practical, useful bite-sized nuggets that people can use immediately to eat better, cook more and live their lives more fully.

Delicious Recipes

Recipe Development & Food Photography

    Yes, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, personally and professionally. And as a professional recipe developer, I love to create innovative, fresh and–perhaps most importantly–simple recipes using a variety of healthful ingredients.

    I have been creating delicious recipes for companies, brands and cooking apps and platforms for over a decade and photographing those recipes for nearly half of that. I also provide expert guidance on creating recipes that meet specialized diets and nutrient needs. 

    Using my functional nutrition expertise and years of culinary experience, I focus on creating recipes that are not only delicious but also incredibly nutritious. I love taking on a culinary challenge to boost a dish so that it includes nutrient-rich ingredients and functional foods to enhance not only readers’ and consumers’ taste buds but also their health.

      Client Testimonials

      I have had the pleasure of working with Rima for more than eleven years in her spokesperson role with National Fisheries Insitute (NFI) on their award-winning blog, Dish on Fish. Rima is one of the most dedicated, hardworking and innovative people I’ve had the pleasure of working with in any capacity.

      She is thorough, dedicated and detailed, and is always responsive, even with last-minute requests (and as any publicist knows, that is the key to success).

      Rima never misses a beat or a deadline! In addition, she is a true pleasure to work with because she is so patient, kind and always interested in any opportunity to help others.

      Functional Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist, Media Expert & Foodie

      I’m a registered dietitian-nutritionist (RDN) with a specialization in culinary and functional nutrition and a background in communications.

      As a practitioner, I know what questions people are asking about nutrition, wellness and food. And as a RDN with more than two decades of communications experience, I love translating the science into practical, useful tips and recipes that people can use to transform their lives.

      Bottom line, I love to share nutrition information and delicious recipes, and the more people I can share this with at one time, the better. So let’s chat further if you have media, recipe or content needs.
