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.
