I am a certified ayurvedic lifestyle consultant from the American Institute of Vedic Studies and a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, graduated from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, Vancouver, BC. I also hold a Master of Science degree in Foods and Nutrition from Delhi University, India. I have an enormous passion for nutrition, a natural ability, and a strong desire to share my knowledge with others. I am from New Delhi, the fast-paced metropolitan capital of India, but I have carried over my ancestral ayurvedic cooking style and philosophy of food over to Vancouver. My passion for food has evolved to embrace a philosophy that focuses on whole and natural foods intended to nourish and promote health and wellbeing. I aspire to help people restore balance and create wellness in their lives. I believe that most chronic illnesses stem from improper digestion and malnutrition.
I am part of the teaching faculty at CSNN, the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, Vancouver Campus, since 2010 where I teach various Nutrition as well as Ayurveda courses. I also host nutrition and advance Ayurveda workshops including cooking demonstrations on various health-related topics.
