Approach to care

Usha takes a holistic approach to nutrition, focusing on individual needs and goals to create personalized meal plans and provide comprehensive nutritional guidance. Our aim is to empower clients to make sustainable lifestyle changes and achieve optimal wellness. I believe in the power of food to heal and nourish the body, and approach integrates the latest scientific research with time-tested nutritional wisdom to offer a unique and effective wellness solution. I follow a client-centered process that begins with a thorough assessment of your current lifestyle, dietary habits, and health objectives. I collaborate with you to develop a tailored plan that encompasses nutritional counseling, weight management support, and overall wellness advice. The process is designed to inspire and guide you towards your health and wellness aspirations.

Your first session with Ushadai

My expectation for the first session is to build rapport, gather information, and set a strong foundation for my patient’s nutritional care plan. I aim to create a comfortable and judgment-free environment where they feel safe sharing personal information. • Dietary Assessment: Explore eating patterns, portion sizes, preferences, and any food restrictions. • Goal Setting: Collaborate on realistic, measurable short- and long-term goals. • Education & Recommendations: Provide tailored advice, address misconceptions, and suggest practical, achievable changes. • Follow-Up Plan: Outline future sessions, track progress, and provide helpful resources
