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.

I really enjoyed my session yesterday with Nav. I felt she was truly invested in my worries and hopes. She provided great advise and guidance simply through conversation. She provided insight and facts to answer my whys, without be even asking why. She was very inspiring. I am looking forward to working with her over the next several months. - via email, May 2026

I could write paragraphs and pages on how much Nav has impacted my life.. but if I were to sum it up for the sake of this Google Review, Nav will add YEARS to your life and LIFE to your years! 🙂 Book the call with her. Your life will forever change! It’s so much more than just nutrition. It’s life. So grateful for you Nav and for all the chapters of my life you have been a part of and influenced. - via Google, May 2026

I had the best experience working with Nav! My goal was to create more structure around my meals, better understand portion sizes, and lose some excess weight. She was incredibly easy to work with and so approachable throughout the process. What I appreciated most was that she didn’t completely overhaul my diet or give me an unrealistic meal plan with foods I’d never cook. Instead, she worked with my current eating habits and helped me make small, sustainable changes that fit my lifestyle. She helped me gradually move from where I was to where I wanted to be while building healthier habits along the way. I’d highly recommend working with her! - via Google, May 2026
