Welcome - I'm So Glad You Are Here
You’ve landed in a space where nutrition is personal, not prescriptive.
Whether you're trying to conceive, pregnant, newly diagnosed with gestational diabetes, recovering from weight loss surgery, or exploring GLP-1 support — you're not just a case or a checklist or a number on the scale.
Here, I listen before I guide. I co-create, not dictate.
Together, we build a nourishing path that fits your real life.
This is the heart of my Nourish With Purpose™ Method — care that sees you as a Whole person with a story, culture, and goals that matter.

Why Women Choose Dr Shy?
Healthy eating isn’t just smashed avo on sourdough or “more protein.”
True nourishment honours your story, your culture, and your real life.
Whether it’s dosa, nasi lemak, injera, cassava, or a Sunday roast — traditional foods carry generations of wisdom.
Too often, they’re dismissed.
I see them — and I see you — differently.
This is the heart of my Nourish With Purpose™ Method — a personalised, science-led approach that values who you are and where you come from.
Care that is rooted in respect
Respectful- no food shame, ever.
Empowering- We co-create your plan, not dictate one
Culturally Grounded - built around your real life, not someone else's food rules
I don’t kale-splain.
I listen, I learn, and I help you build a nourishing plan around your plate.
Perth Dietitian Dr Shy PhD APD Specialising in Women's Health
Certified Prenatal Dietitian I Accredited Practising Dietitian I Food Scientist I Based in Perth, Available Australia-Wide
Hi, I’m Dr. Shy AKA The Pregnancy Dietitian - an Indian born, PhD trained Australian Food Scientist & Accredited Practising Dietitian with Advanced expertise in Pregnancy Nutrition.
With 15+ years in nutrition research, food Industry and media — I help women feel confident and supported through life's big transitions from IVF & fertility to pregnancy, and sustainable weight care powered by my signature Nourish With Purpose™ Method
Science led. Culturally Aware. No Fads.
No Pressure. Just Purpose.
My approach combines real food, the latest science, traditional wisdom, an understanding of your cultural and personal story - so you can thrive without shame, restriction, or confusion.
I believe in a food-first approach - but I'm not anti-supplement. I'm supplement smart. That means I only recommend products when there is a clinical reason to do so - and never because of commissions or affiliate deals. My advise is guided by science, not sales.
I limit my weekly client load, giving me the time and energy to do what many clinics don't - think deeply between sessions, write every plan by hand, and support you like a partner, not a number.
