MY STORY

I was born in a small Northern Canadian town to Indian immigrant parents. My mother from India, and my father a refugee from East Africa. My earliest memories are of navigating chronic health challenges with few resources, but anchored by a quiet resilience and unwavering hope.

Years later, while completing my PhD in Molecular Toxicology, a personal health crisis forced me to turn the scientific lens inward. That was the beginning of my healing – through food, ritual, and a reconnection to breath.

When I lost my father to digestive cancer, that healing deepened.

When I became a mother, it was tested all over again.

These moments have shaped the way I see wellness – not as perfection, but as devotion.

Today, I help others reclaim their health through ancient wisdom, conscious science, and a remembering of what’s already within.

RHEA’S APPROACH

My approach blends evidence-based science with root-cause holistic healing to help you return to your most energized, empowered self.

As a toxicologist, nutrition scientist, and health coach, I guide you through a personalized journey of healing, rooted in deep listening, strategic insight, and sustainable transformation. Together, we’ll uncover the root causes of imbalance and co-create a plan that includes nutrition upgrades, healing rituals, and supportive habits tailored to your body’s needs.

I’ll be your guide, educator, and accountability partner, helping you move from intention to integration, until your wellness practices become second nature. This work is more than optimization. It’s a return to your truest self, and a lifestyle that reflects your vitality, clarity, and power.

When the moment calls for deeper integration, I draw on my training in Vedic (Indian) breathwork and kriya yoga to help you anchor into your body, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your inner knowing. Healing isn’t just physical – it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal. These tools become part of the journey when you’re ready for them.

The biggest impact Rhea’s approach had on me was that she taught as much as she coached, and truly practiced what she shared. She guided me through a detox protocol, but also gave me skills and hacks for a lifetime of understanding how to navigate my health and well-being. I learned about practices, supplements, foods, treatments and practitioners that still serve me today—all because Rhea took the time to do the research and experimentation so others could benefit from her learnings. Rhea is not only a well-th of knowledge, but also an inspired soul who truly believes in the power of nutrition, knowledge and intention for all people to thrive and live well.

Rhea’s passion is infectious. Her intrepid pursuit of her passion has inspired me to follow mine; and I’ll always be grateful to her for her limitless generosity.

Rhea offers a graceful combination of practical day-to-day logistical advice mixed with big-picture visioning. Working with her has triggered deep personal growth for me in terms of my diet, stress reduction, and even how I approach the world and my relationships. She is a patient and conscious listener and fantastic at answering the hard questions while helping you incorporate practices into your everyday life to stay. It is clear to me that what I’m learning with Rhea’s help will become cemented as habits and “ways of being” that will making a lasting impact on my well being. I’m extremely thankful to have stumbled into the opportunity to work with Rhea. It’s pretty rare to get to work with someone who has such in depth medical and scientific training (both in Eastern and Western philosophies), who also has so much to offer in the realm of mindfulness, intention-setting, and overall living more joyfully!

Working with Rhea was one of the first times that I learned what it truly meant to feel safe in my body. I was able to sleep soundly. Focus better. And most importantly, build a relationship with my body and heart where I felt capable and empowered.
