You're here to be heard, seen, and supported -
with nutrition care that's grounded in science, shaped by your story,
and designed to nourish what's been missing - without turning food into a math problem or a set of rigid rules

I offer high touch support combining science, compassion and practical strategies that’s:
Respectful – no food shame, ever

I don’t kale-splain. I listen, learn, and help you build a nourishing plan around your plate.
Introducing Dr Shy's Nourish to Add™ Method
Nourish to Add™ is my gentle yet powerful method guided with heart. It is designed for women navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum weight loss and medical weight loss. Instead of telling you what to cut out- I show you what to add.
Meet Dr Shy PhD APD
Founder - The Pregnancy Dietitian
Certified Prenatal Dietitian | Accredited Practising Dietitian | PhD in Food Science & Technology (The University of New South Wales, Sydney)
Perth-based dietitian, born in Salem (India). I landed in Australia at 22 on a PhD scholarship and spent two decades across research, industry and media. Along the way I met incredible mentors — and a few rooms where “women supporting women” mysteriously meant… no one supporting anyone. So I built the opposite: calm, non-judgemental, practical, evidence-based care where you’re met with kindness, not the ‘are you really eating that?’ eyebrow.
I adore sarees for their timeless drape and how they celebrate every body. And yes, I do get a headache if I miss my sambhar rice with pappadam. Food is both science and soul. I’m also a mother of two legends and a lover of wisteria flowers; here to help you feel nourished, not judged.
I support women through the big transitions—IVF and fertility, pregnancy, gestational diabetes, and weight loss (including post-bariatric and GLP-1)—guided by my Nourish to Add™ Method.
Media & Press Highlights
No fear, no fluff—just facts.
From breaking down food myths on 25+ TV segments (National broadcast) to contributing expert commentary to global print publications, I bring clarity, credibility, and evidence-based nutrition to the public conversation on health and wellness.
