Hello, I’m Asha, an educator, author, and health coach.
As a happy tummy advocate, I empower clients to feel great and age boldly while maintaining good health and peace of mind.
My Life 35 Years Ago
I grew up in India for the first 21 years of my life in a middle-class family. I was fortunate to have received a good education and to have begun my undergraduate degree in mathematics. But then, I met this amazing young Indian monk, and, oh boy, I fell head over heels for him, and it turned out he felt the same way! He was an incredibly talented musician, and when he received an invitation to North America, everything changed for us.
I ended up putting my studies on pause, got married, and embarked on a new adventure together, leaving India behind. It was a big step, but we were ready to face whatever came next. That was 36 years ago!
The Call To Health and Nutrition
Over three decades ago, I had this responsibility to care for our mentor, who was 83 and had a heart condition. It was challenging because he refused to get a pacemaker. Fortunately, we found a doctor who specialized in Chinese medicine stepped in and started treating him with herbs and food.
At the time, I was just a clueless 22-year-old who didn’t know much about cooking, let alone how to prepare meals for someone with specific health needs. To my surprise, his health improved dramatically in just a week! It was such a remarkable experience.
Just a few years later, I faced my own health challenges and decided to see an MD who had a focus on nutritional health.While he did prescribe antibiotics for a few weeks, he encouraged me to start cooking simple meals at home. Taking his advice to heart, I began my journey into studying nutrition. That’s where my passion for nutrition, home cooking, and everything related to health really began to bloom!
Detour From Health To Management
Even though my initial studies in nutrition really helped me with my personal health, my career took a different turn. Since 1998, I've been managing my husband’s music, publishing and international teaching work.
In 2008, we took a big step and co-founded our online school together.
Challenges & Return to Health
As I approached my 40th birthday, I dealt with fibroids and thyroid conditions that impact millions of women. Thankfully, my studies in nutrition, along with the support of knowledgeable medical professionals, were invaluable.
In 2017, I decided to train as a health coach responding to requests from students for help with weight loss, stress management, emotional well-being, and healthier eating. This led me to write two cookbooks, and now I teach online and coach clients worldwide.
I absolutely love what I do! Helping people feel great, lose weight with delicious food, and age confidently with joy is my mission.
