MEET MAYURI BHAWAN
a registered dietitian | Indian Food Lover | Simplicity Seeker
Helping you make sense of nutrition.
Hi, I’m May.
I’m an Indian Dietitian with a passion for cultural foods & over 10 years experience helping clients achieve their health goals.
Raised vegetarian from a young age, I grew up in a home where food was truly life, with fresh produce from our garden making its way straight to our plates. Food wasn't just nourishment; it was family, tradition, and joy.
Today, that same passion fuels my approach to nutrition. I specialise in blending traditional foods with modern nutritional science - helping my clients find balance, enjoy their favourite meals, and make smart, sustainable choices.
Whether you’re working toward weight loss, better gut health, managing diabetes, or shifting to a plant-based lifestyle, I’m here to help you build a personalised plan that fits your real life — not one that cuts out the foods you love.
My goal is to empower you to understand food better, to know how combinations work, how traditions can be modernised, and how every meal can be both healing and delicious.
