Why Women Choose Dr Shy?
At the Pregnancy Dietitian, Every woman is a VIP- Very Informed & Prepared (with quiet confidence).
I offer care that’s:
Respectful – no food shame, ever
Empowering – we co-create, not dictate
Non-Judgemental & Culturally Aware– built around your real life, not someone else’s food rules.
One-to-one, not one-size-fits-all.
Powered by Nourish to Add™ — we start with what to add before anything else, so change feels doable.
No affiliate arrangements: I don’t use promo codes, earn commissions, or sell products. If I recommend something, it’s because it fits you—not because I’m paid to push it.
Meet Dr Shy PhD APD
Founder - The Pregnancy Dietitian
Certified Prenatal Dietitian | Accredited Practising Dietitian | PhD in Food Science & Technology (The University of New South Wales, Sydney)
Perth-based dietitian, born in Salem (India). I landed in Australia at 22 on a PhD scholarship and spent two decades across Nutrition research, industry and media. Along the way I met incredible mentors — and a few rooms where “women supporting women” mysteriously meant… no one supporting anyone. So I built the opposite: calm, non-judgemental, practical, evidence-based care where you’re met with kindness, not the ‘are you really eating that?’ eyebrow.
I support women through the big transitions—IVF and fertility/TTC, pregnancy, gestational diabetes, and weight loss (including post-bariatric and GLP-1)—guided by my Nourish to Add™ Method.
I adore sarees for their timeless drape and how they celebrate every body. And yes, I do get a headache if I miss my sambhar rice with pappadam. Food is both science and soul.
I’m also a mother of two legends and a lover of wisteria flowers; here to help you feel nourished, not judged.
