I’m Nihal Sener Maten, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and the founder of My Positive Plate Nutrition Inc. My journey in nutrition is driven by a belief that the right nourishment can create lasting change. With a 4.0 GPA from Northern Illinois University and a graduate certificate in Eating Disorders and Obesity, I’ve built a strong foundation in Nutrition, Dietetics, and Wellness.

As a mother of three, I know the balance between family life and health goals. This experience shapes my holistic approach, emphasizing sustainability and nourishment over quick fixes. I believe weight is a result of daily habits and mindful choices, often influenced by nutrient deficiencies rather than overeating.

At My Positive Plate Nutrition Inc., I empower clients to build sustainable, nourishing habits for overall well-being. I’m also a passionate advocate for breastfeeding, with a certificate in outpatient breastfeeding support.

Whether working with clients or leading community initiatives, my goal is to create lasting positive change through personalized, compassionate care.
