The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

A postgraduate from Lady Irwin College, Delhi and a dynamic personality, enriched with 19+ years of professional expertise in the field of nutrition and dietetics.

A true combination of arts and science with empathy.

I have also been involved in conducting health talks and seminars for various corporates in Delhi and the National capital region.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

Getting admission to the desired University on merit and being mentored by the best coaches. A lot of hard and pain behind it.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I deal by planning for each of them personally, best suited plans for their body and easy to follow programs that fit into their regime in spite of their busy schedules.

That works for them!

Over a period of my career journey, I realized that the maximum dropouts used to happen when it was difficult to fit in health in their busy schedules and used to lead to low motivation to follow the same, so I just reversed.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

They are individualized, suiting to individual body types.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

They develop positivity towards life and are happy.

For some, who have lost self confidence, they regain it.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I ask them to write their dietary recall daily and empower them with knowledge, as it’s not just a matter of calories, it’s all about motivation to gain health in life… the most difficult thing!

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

I would say invest in health, Donate Red gold (Blood), Plant Brown gold (trees and mud).

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

Love your body and indulge in healthy well being.

Help others in need when required.

Show empathy to the weaker section of society.

Your final thoughts?

Nowadays we just don’t say: “Eat Healthy and Live Healthily”.

We say “Eat healthy, workout, think positive and stay healthy.”
