Holistic Health Natural Hygiene Yoga Philosophy
KNOW YOUR COACH
Mentored by my father - a Professor of Biochemistry, Naturopath, and Yoga exponent - I hope to demystify prevalent notions about food, and simplify the sustenance of healthy habits. Over the years, I have created a unique fusion of therapies from the East & West, combining conventional studies of nutrition, with natural hygiene, and yogic principles. The coaching I offer is based on a holistic blend of all three. I believe that your will to make a change will be the key to healing yourself.
Note: I am a Holistic Whole Food Plant Based Nutritionist. I am not a medical practitioner.
I do not give medical advice to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease. Do consult your doctor(s) before making lifestyle changes.
