About Me
Pediatrician | Pediatric Nutrition Consultant | Pediatric Hematologist
Who I Am
“If we can fix the plate, that's half the problem solved.” 🍽️
I’ve been working in the field of pediatrics since 2011, with a deep interest in how food shapes health, behaviour, and overall well-being. Over time, I’ve come to realize that nutrition isn’t just one aspect of growing up, “it’s the heart and soul” of growing up healthy.
From frequent infections and fatigue to picky eating or slow growth, so much of it circles back to what and how a child is being fed. That’s why I focus on helping parents simplify feeding, ditch the myths, and build long lasting, food first routines that actually work in real life.
My background in pediatric hematology has also helped me connect the dots between diet and conditions like nutritional deficiencies and anemias. Even when it comes to recovering from illnesses that take a toll on your body, nutritional rehabilitation plays a key role. I’ve seen how even small shifts in a child’s nutrition can change lab values, energy levels, and most importantly, how they feel.
But beyond degrees and diagnoses, I’ve often been told I bring the 'calm to chaos'. Parents say I’m easy to talk to, I keep things light, and lightening up conversations is kind of like, my forte! I believe, we all analyse and process better, when you take stress out of the equation. And that’s something I deeply value and incorporate in all my interactions, because clear thinking only happens when people feel safe, heard, and relaxed.

Practice
How I Practice
I aim to keep things simple, practical, and rooted in real science. Medication only when necessary! A lot can be achieved by lifestyle modifications, diet and nutrition planning and natural home based remedies. And if medicines are needed, you won’t just get the ‘what’ from me, I will also ensure you understand the ‘Why’ behind it.
This online presence is where I would share some general advice, experiences and some truly insightful, sometimes hilarious, parenting stories I’ve been lucky to be part of. The aim is to replace your Google search for all parenting questions, minus the terrifying worst case scenarios.
Also up for grabs will be helpful blogs, guiding charts, recipe downloads and much more! Maybe even a few laughs along the way. Because parenting is hard enough as is. The least I can do, is be the ‘User Manual” you wish you had.
