Patient reviews
“Vasuki has done an excellet job of asking questions ablut my situation and preferences, and tailoring her advice to match. She's thourough, offers helpful, realistic advice and guidelines, and understands that life isn't straightforward and that perfection is an unreasonable goal.“

“She is very professional and informative. She has helped me with this entire process. Not only does she help with recipes but she takes her time when doing it!“

“Vasuki is so nice! She pays attention to things that matter to me (being budget friendly), makes it easy by incorporating foods I already eat, and isn’t judgemental if things aren’t going perfectly (especially around the holidays). I definitely recommend seeing her :)“

About Vasuki
I am a registered dietitian with a passion to support clients eat nourishing foods they enjoy, and optimize their health and wellbeing. I have extensive experience working collaboratively with adults, adolescents, children and families to make flexible, sustainable lifestyle changes, and achieve each client’s nutrition and health goals.
Approach to care
My approach is client centered, compassionate and evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle therapy. My holistic, weight inclusive approach emphasizes whole person nutrition care, taking into account the unique needs of each client, including clinical, lifestyle, environmental, and genetics. I meet clients where they are, and work one-on-one collaboratively to empower my clients to nourish their body and mind with foods they love, and realistic lifestyle changes which can be sustained long-term.
Your first session with Vasuki
The first session is focused on you. We will discuss your nutrition and health goals, food preferences, lifestyle and any other relevant information you would like to share in a judgement free setting. We will collaboratively develop a customized action plan to fit your unique needs and goals.
