MEET PORTLAND, OREGON NUTRITIONIST
Nicole Darabi
Oh hey there! I'm Nicole, and I've got a confession: I'm that friend who gets way too excited about kitchen solutions. (Like, "had to apologize to my dinner party guests for talking about container organization for 45 minutes" excited.)​
​
Here's the thing: I'll always meet you exactly where you are. Not where some perfectly curated wellness account says you should be.
Because, honestly, sifting through the mountains of nutrition misinformation and toxic advice?
IT makes me want to lose my s#!*
I'm here to help you figure out this whole food-and-life juggle, minus all the "should" filling up your social feed right now.
You're already crushing it at basically everything else. You're running the show at work, riding the waves of life's surprises, keeping various humans (and maybe plants) alive.
But then... there's that moment when you open your fridge and suddenly all that confidence does its famous disappearing act.
LET'S MAKE YOUR KITCHEN YOUR NEW POWER SPOT.
KIND WORDS FROM
Happy clients
Nicole was absolutely wonderful to work with. We learned a lot about organization and nutrition from her and the whole family is now eating more fruits and vegetables. We have also reduced food waste and improved our nutrition. She organized our fridge and freezer beautifully. Everything is easy to find, easy to keep organized and no longer stressful to load after a big grocery trip.
Junea + Cameron
This class really opened my eyes. Nicole showed us how to prep a handful of staples—different proteins, carbs, veggies, and fruits—and then mix and match them to keep meals interesting all week long. That concept completely changed how I think about meal prep. Instead of eating the same exact meal for three days, now I feel like I can create endless combinations without extra effort.

Why a former hair stylist knows all about your kitchen struggles....
Unlike most nutritionists, my career started in a hair salon, not a gym! Between foils and real talk with clients, I discovered something wild: sometimes the best life advice happens in the most unexpected places.
What I actually do
(BESIDES MAKE "MEAL PREP" digestIble)
Think of me as your kitchen translator. You know that friend who explains things without making you feel completely lost? That's me, but with food.
I help you:​
​Turn your random fridge contents into actual meals (without a PhD in meal prep)
Stop treating wine night like a nutrition crime
Navigate life's changes without losing your snacks or your sanity
Actually enjoy your kitchen again (yes, it's possible!)
​No guilt trips, no "clean eating" lectures, just real solutions for your actual life.
From hair color to kitchen confidence
Those 14 years of honest conversations while processing hair color? Pure gold. Mix in my own wild health journey and all those salon chair confessions, and I've learned that "simple" and "easy" aren't always the same thing.
​
And sometimes life just throws you the best surprises, while letting you know you're on the right path. In 2023, the American Heart Association named me their Oregon and SW Washington Leader of Impact. (Still feels wild to say out loud!)
​
With or without honors, I've been helping people get comfy in the kitchen for a while now. It's truly one of my favorite things.
