As a passionate advocate for holistic health, I specialise in promoting positive body image through mindful movement, nutrition, and wellness practices. My approach focusses on disease prevention, management, and reversal, empowering clients to make lifestyle changes that produce real and lasting results. With a strong belief in the power of natural, effective techniques, I am committed to helping individuals achieve their health goals.
​
Early Life and Education:
Born and raised in India, I completed my Masters in Education and Counselling. At 23, I faced a significant challenge—a slipped disc that required me to be vigilant about my spine health. Despite this, I navigated pregnancy smoothly and delivered my two sons naturally. The journey to lose the extra weight gained during pregnancy was tough but rewarding, with walking being my first step toward better health.
Evolving Practices:
Over the years, my journey has been marked by continuous learning and adaptation. After exploring various nutrition and fitness methods, I embraced mindful and conscious eating practices. These practices, combined with a commitment to movement, allowed me to achieve sustainable health and wellness. My interest in holistic health deepened, leading me to pursue certifications in Plant-Based Nutrition, Yoga, and Personal Training.
​Yoga and Movement:
Yoga has been a transformative part of my life. My training as a Yoga Teacher reconnected me with the importance of breath and movement. I believe that yoga is more than just asana; it’s a practice of self-discovery, self-inquiry, and growth. Even after sustaining an injury, I found solace and strength in yoga, learning that it's a journey without a final destination.
Therapies and Certifications:
My commitment to health extends to therapeutic practices. I have pursued studies in Sujok Therapy, Mudra Therapy, Dorn Therapy, Twist Therapy, and Triorigin Acupuncture. These certifications, along with my personal training qualification, have equipped me to offer a comprehensive approach to wellness.
Passions and Personal Interests:
Beyond my professional life, I am an eco-conscious individual dedicated to reducing plastic waste through my initiative, "Give a Tee, Take a Bag." This project involves transforming old t-shirts into reusable bags, promoting sustainability within the community.
​
I am also a passionate artist, expressing myself through painting, sewing, music, and pyrography. My love for cycling, hiking, and traveling with my family keeps me grounded and connected to nature.
Today, as a PhD student at Manipal GlobalNxt University, my journey continues. I am committed to ongoing learning and growth, both personally and professionally, with a focus on bringing holistic health and well-being to everyone I work with. My goal is to inspire others to embrace movement, mindful eating, and wellness practices that lead to a balanced and fulfilling life.
