My Journey
Being a part of the healthcare industry for years, I have believed in a holistic approach to nutrition and recognized its interconnectedness with lifestyle and overall well-being. I truly believe in addressing the root causes of health issues rather than merely treating symptoms. I approach my clients with empathy and understanding, recognizing the challenges they may face on their journey to better health. My compassionate approach fosters trust and open communication, enabling effective collaboration.
I understand that every individual is unique. And so, I tailor nutrition plans to suit each person's specific needs, preferences, and goals. I believe in breaking the myth that 'being on a diet/nutritional plan just means eating fancy food.' You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces—just fresh and right ingredients found every day in your kitchen and the right quantity. Despite my deep expertise in nutrition, I have a secret love for experimenting with unconventional ingredients and creating surprisingly delicious and nutritious dishes. From incorporating superfoods into my smoothies to crafting savory dishes with unexpected twists, I'm always excited to explore the boundaries of flavor and nutrition. And I help my clients do the same.

What my clients say about me
"I have been working with Gauri, and the program was well-defined with different regular food options that we can accommodate in our daily lives. Especially with me being vegetarian, the plan still offered a wide variety of food items that you can eat or have during the diet. She was very punctual on follow-up calls and was also responsive to the queries that I posted. Overall, it has been a great experience, and I would recommend this to anyone looking to lose extra weight."
"Gauri has been a pleasure to work with as a nutritionist. She is always open to accommodate my needs, keeping my end goal in the center. The plan that Gauri provided not only helped me with significant weight loss but also helped me improve my sugar levels as a diabetic, as well as manage PCOS. She is great with follow-ups and ensures that she follows through the ups and downs and makes adjustments along the way to make the process smoother and enjoyable!"
"I contacted Gauri for the first time about my parents' cardiac health and a suitable nutrition and lifestyle plan. Her plan helped my parents to watch what they ate after my father's cardiac surgery. After this plan, I reached out again, this time for me to focus on healthily losing weight. Gauri focused on inch loss rather than focusing on reducing weight by pounds. Initially, it took some time for me to adjust to the small and more frequent portions. But her plan and guidance made it happen. She gave me a lot of options that are easy and, most importantly, quick to make. She was very quick at responding to any questions I had or any adjustments I wanted to make. I liked one thing in particular, whenever I had to eat out, she guided me by looking at the restaurant menu and guided me on what to choose as my meal. In months that were tricky with travel plans, festivals, and guest visits, Gauri gave me such good meal plans that it made way for me to still manage and continue watching what I eat. I see that I can be conciliatory about my food portions now which is a lifestyle change! Thank you Gauri for all your help and taking care of small asks (a lot of them) and all the tips you shared when I was giving up."
"I was very happy with the results I saw. I lost a considerable amount of weight and have not put it all back on even after I went off the program. The menu provided helped a lot with the meal planning. The best thing was that you could eat most of the things you usually eat, but make sure that protein and veggies are included. My dietician Gauri was very prompt with her responses even though we had a time difference (I live in Toronto, Canada). I highly recommend her g to at least start you off on your fitness journey."
