I have been a Registered Dietitian for almost 20 years. After acquiring my Master's degree in Dietetics and Nutrition, I worked in diverse areas in the field of nutrition. Along with improving my practical skills, I never lost sight of the importance of honing my theoretical skills, which I accomplished by acquiring various certifications including Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, Certification in Adult Weight Management and Nutrition Wound Care certified. Through the years, I have had the honor of helping many clients navigate several complex conditions including Obesity, Diabetes, Chronic Kidney Disease, Hypertension, Cardiovascular disease etc. My approach is client-centered, empathetic and non-judgmental. Behavior change is difficult but with a good coach by your side you can make it happen! Whether it's help with making changes to your diet, meal planning, or holding you more accountable, I am here for you. Having been born and raised in India and living most of my adult life in United States, I have a unique East and West perspective. My truest passion is helping people take charge of their own health by empowering them with the skills they need. Additionally, I love to train others and have served as a speaker for many events, preceptor for dietetic interns and training new dietitians. I have been honored by several awards including the "Emerging Leader" and "Recognized Young Dietitian" award by the Miami Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition. I continue to serve on the board of various professional associations including the Florida Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialist.
"I like to apply a non-judgmental, compassionate approach when counseling my clients. Each session is tailored to the individual, keeping their personality, personal needs and pace in mind. Using the analogy of a car, I am just the "Navigator" providing you with the various possible routes you can take to accomplish your goals but YOU (client) are always the "driver" setting the pace and selecting the route that most appeals to you!"
