What Do Clients Say?
Louise, GLP-1 client
“Dr Shy explained everything clearly, made sure I understood, and helped me feel more confident that this was something I could do for life, not just another fad diet. It wasn't overwhelming at all. I only wish I had met Dr Shy earlier"
Marthe, Pregnancy Client
“She is such a warm and welcoming person and really listens. Dr Shy helped me feel better during pregnancy and gave me confidence that both my baby and I were getting the right nutrition”
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 Indian-Australian dietitian, born in Salem (South India). I moved to Australia at 21 on a PhD scholarship and have since spent two decades across Nutrition research, industry and media. Along the way I met incredible mentors - and enough judgement to know I want to build the opposite: calm, non-judgemental, practical, evidence-based care where you’re met with kindness, not the ‘are you really eating that?’ eyebrow.
I support women through the big transitions—IVF and fertility/TTC, pregnancy, gestational diabetes, midlife changes and weight loss (including post-bariatric and GLP-1)—guided by my Nourish to Add™ Method.
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.
