My Background.
I have a doctorate in Human Development specialising in Health Behaviour from Iowa State University (USA) and Masters in Medical and Psychiatric Counselling from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. I have pursued Nutrition Certifications from American College of Sport Medicine and currently offer my flagship programs in Mumbai and Globally online.
I also specialise in working with seniors, special cases and vernacular populations.​ I established my private practice in 2020. My practice was born at a critical time when I saw the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdown as both a necessity and an opportunity to provide compassionate health guidance when people needed it most.
My practice includes Integrated Health Counselling, Coping with Illness, Stress and Anxiety induced health conditions and Weight Management.

Why Consult a Health Psychologist for Illness & Nutrition Management?
Health psychology can be incredibly helpful for managing your health journey because it focuses on the connection between your mind and body, helping you deal with the emotional and mental challenges that often come with being unfit.
It’s not just about your physical symptoms—health psychology helps you understand how stress, anxiety, or even the way you think can affect your overall health, hormones and body fat.
​
By working with a health psychologist like me, you can learn the strategies to cope with stress, prevent burnout and build healthier everyday habits to stay motivated while following your treatment plan. They can help you handle feelings of frustration or sadness, and work with you to improve your quality of life. Health is not just absence of disease; it’s about feeling empowered to take control of your mind and body in every way.
