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.​

Our story

 

The Pregnancy Dietitian began in the pandemic—built on clarity, compassion and science. From a tiny room at Perth Maternity to Cockburn based private practise + telehealth AU-wide, my goal hasn’t changed: help you feel nourished, not judged.

​

I completed Dietitians Australia’s rigorous multi-stage Dietetic Skills Recognition assessment on my first attempt, and became a Medicare provider in 2022 (Coffee helped ; evidence did the rest)

 

What I help with

​

I help through IVF & fertility, pregnancy (including GDM), post baby changes, and weight management — including post-bariatric and GLP-1 — using my Nourish to Add™ method: add what moves the needle before we talk restriction.​​

 

 

What I don’t do: meal-plan jail, “clean eating,” or kale worship, unneccessary supplements or product bundles​

​

What I do: practical, evidence-based nutrition for fertility (TTC) & IVF, pregnancy, postpartum, and life after GLP-1s or bariatric surgery - built for real life: shift work, nausea, reflux, cravings, cultural food, and family chaos included. smart supplementation.

 

Life’s complicated. Food doesn’t have to be.​​​​​​​
