Favourite Quote: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

Nishaat has lived all over the world, including Kenya, India, Canada, United Arab Emirates, and Australia. This has allowed her to gain international nutrition experience, and more importantly, the awareness that environment and culture play an essential role in our eating habits. She is passionate about improving people’s lives and relationships with food through sustainable and personalized nutrition coaching and support.  

Her journey into nutrition began at McGill University in Montreal where she completed a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Science and Bachelor of Science in Food Science. Inspired by her education, she decided to become qualified as a Registered Dietitian and moved to Melbourne, Australia to complete her Master of Dietetics at Monash University. During this time, she worked with a wide variety of patients with different health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, digestive conditions, and cancer. After graduation, Nishaat counselled patients in healthy weight loss and chronic disease prevention and management. She is driven to help her clients avoid or decrease their medications, prevent life-long chronic conditions and feel better in their own bodies so they can enjoy long and happy lives. There is nothing more rewarding than supporting life-changing health improvements.

Her approach to nutrition counselling is that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ way to eat and that nutrition programs need to be custom-tailored and take into account people’s lifestyles and preferences for them to really work. Her ultimate goal is to empower her clients to take charge of their health and build their confidence in maintaining good, lifelong nutritional habits.

In her free time, she loves to explore different restaurants, travel, practice yoga, and spend time outdoors with loved ones.

Working with Nav has been a genuinely transformative experience. I first came to her feeling frustrated by weight gain and overwhelmed by a bunch of unclear symptoms. From day one, her approach was solid, structured, and evidence-based. ​The results speak for themselves: I lost over 7 kg in just 6 weeks—all while actually eating more calories. Nav customized a nutrition plan tailored specifically to my food preferences, cravings, and daily habits. Instead of just telling me what to eat, she educated me on the fundamentals so I truly understood the "why" behind every decision. ​Nav’s care and follow-up stand out above everything else. She meticulously reviewed my food logs, addressed holistic health aspects, and made every check-in feel authentic, solution-centric, and encouraging. Scheduling was seamless throughout. I built a strong bond of trust with her and highly recommend Nav to anyone looking for expert, compassionate nutritional guidance! - via Google, September 2026

I’ve had a very positive experience working with my (dietitian). She (Sarah) has been extremely supportive, understanding, and non-judgmental throughout the process. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t use a one-size-fits-all approach, she takes the time to understand my individual needs, health concerns, lifestyle, and challenges, and builds the plan around them. She is also very flexible and willing to adapt or change the plan based on what is working for me and what isn’t. I feel heard and supported rather than pressured, which has made the whole process much more manageable and realistic. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for personalized and compassionate nutrition support - via Google, August 2026

Nav has honestly been amazing! She is supportive, honest and works with you to develop the best plan to meet your goals! With her help of getting me on the right track with my meal planning and vitamins I have lost over 40 pounds in 6 months! I feel and look amazing and I no longer get winded when walking up the stairs. Nav’s supportive nature is unmatched and I know that I can achieve any goal I have. I remember when we started I said I want to lose 20 lbs - and when I did that, I was like that was easy, what else’s can I do! Looking forward to the next steps! Thanks Nav! - via Google, August 2026
