About Us

Hi, I am Himali Sharmila!

I was born and raised in Vadodara, Gujarat. I completed my Graduation in Food & Nutrition and my Post-Graduation in Applied Nutrition from Maharaja Sayajirao University. Additionally, I earned a PG Diploma in Food & Nutrition Management from Algonquin College, Canada, in 2019 and a PG Diploma in Ayurvedic Nutrition from IGMP, Delhi, in 2025.

For the past 6 years, I have been practicing as a Clinical Dietitian and a Lifestyle Coach through my independent practice. I am also a certified Garbh Sanskar Trainer. Through Grabh Sanskar, I help couples conceive naturally and have a healthy pregnancy. Garbh Sanskar is a part of Ayurveda that deals with everything related to fertility, conception, pregnancy and postpartum.

While trained in modern science, my passion for Ayurveda led me to study and train under an experienced Ayurvedic doctor for two years. My practice combines Nutritional Science and Ayurvedic principles.

Pathyaahar was inspired by the desire to revive traditional practices and reconnect people to their roots. Influenced by Ayurveda, my consultations offer holistic guidance—including meal plans and lifestyle corrections that focus on returning back to our simple “Ghar Ka Khana.”

My mission is to heal and guide people in the art of eating right, one person at a time!

What is Pathyaahar?

The term ‘Pathyaahar’, finds its roots in the Charak Samhita, is two conjoined words – Pathya (Suitable) + Aahar (Food). It is that kind of Aahar and Vihar (Food & Drink), which is Pathya (Suitable) for you, your body type and your health condition.

Aahar or ‘food’ has been called as ‘Brahma’ or The Creator – as all life begins and sustains with the right Aahar.

Ayurveda describes Pathya Aahar as that kind of diet which not only brings Nourishment but also ‘Sukh’ (Happiness) to the body and mind.

Review From Clients

My journey with Himali has been pleasant and dreamy. She is flexible, patient and knowledgeable. Not only was I able to lose the extra inches, my PCOD and Constipation issues were corrected by using everyday ingredients from our kitchen. I recommend her 100% and you can blindly trust her!

Aditi Patel, Baroda Client

I was diagnosed with PCOD in 2019 and tried multiple allopathic & ayurvedic treatments, but with no success. I signed up for the 6 month PCOS program with Himali and was able to lose weight, regularize my period cycles, improved mental health & clarity with simple home cooked meals & yoga. I cannot thank her enough for all the assistance and encouragement!

Hitasvi Chauhan, Baroda Client

I want to say a huge thanks to Himali for being an awesome Dietitian and Health Coach. I signed up for the 3 month weight loss program and she made me realize that one can improve their health with simple, balanced, home made meals and sticking to one’s roots and consuming local ingredients is the key. One of the best things that happened to me in 2023!

Komal Shah, Ahmedabad Client

Himali is like a diet goddess! She is very easy to work with and accommodates to all time zones. It is the first time that I did not have any restrictions when I started “dieting”. In just 3 months, I lost weight & inches and saw muscle toning with simple, balanced meals customized to my lifestyle, timings and choices. She busted all my negative perceptions of dietitians, I would highly recommend her!

Mit Patel, USA Client

I was reluctant to consult a dietitian at first because I thought that I would be asked to bring exotic, expensive food items and bring severe restrictions to my diet. But after I spoke to Himali, I was convinced! She made me pick up good habits and a regular lifestyle while keeping the meal plan of simple, home made, everyday food. Nothing fancy! I lost inches and gained muscle as well. I can’t thank her enough for the life lessons she taught me!

Mohit Kakkar, Kanpur Client

I was suffering from IBS for which I signed up for the 4 month Gut Cleanse program with Himali. I recovered to a great extent and now I am able to manage my IBS very easily. She listens to all your concerns patiently and offers solutions. I suffered from constipation, acidity, burps etc for years and we were able to resolve them with appropriate lifestyle changes and just simple home made food. Thanks Himali!

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I start to see results and how many kilos of weight loss should I expect?

Each body is different and responds differently. No genuine healthcare practitioner will promise you numbers. It is a journey that you must start and put in efforts first, before jumping onto results. However, if you do follow the meal plan and lifestyle guidelines as prescribed, you will start to notice changes in your health in the first 15 days.

Are one month programs available?

There are no one month programs available because it is too less a time to work with anyone and bring long term, sustainable results. Restoring health holistically needs time and consistency.

I am a Jain/Vegetarian/Non Vegetarian/Vegan/Eggetarian - how will you design my plan?

All of my meal plans are customized according to your personal, cultural & religious preferences. The meal plan will have options accordingly. There is no force to eat anything that you are not comfortable with.

Can we pay the fees monthly? What modes of payment are available?

There is no monthly payment option available but as mentioned in all the programs, the fees can be paid in two installments. First installment of 50% to be paid at the beginning of the program and remaining 50% to be paid at the end of the second or third month of the program, depending on which plan you have opted for - 3 or 6 months.
3 modes of payment are available - Gpay, UPI ID and a direct bank transfer is available.

Does the consultation also include a workout plan?

The consultation does not include a workout plan, however I will guide you with respect to what type of exercise you should go for, step count throughout the day and basic guidelines about physical activity.

Do you take international clients and accommodate different time zones?

Yes. I have clients from all across India and the globe. I consult clients from US, Europe, Australia, Dubai, Canada etc. A mutually convenient time is set with the client for appointment calls and follow ups.

I stay out of India so how will we accommodate the food pattern and lifestyle abroad?

All of my meal plans and lifestyle coaching is customized to each client as per their geography, ethnicity, personal preferences, work hours, goals and their challenges. I take time in the first appointment to understand your routine, your food pattern and lifestyle and then design a plan accordingly. 50% of my clientele is NRIs so I am well equipped to accommodate clients from abroad.

Will I gain back all my weight or will all my symptoms reappear once my program ends?

Neither will you gain the weight back nor will any of your symptoms return. My focus is on providing the right education & education to the client throughout my consultation, so that they are informed & equipped to make the right choices for the rest of their life. At the end of the program, you will have the right mindset, know how much to indulge in and how to manage your conditions well. This is why I insist on designing sample menus with me during the consultation so that the client learns to balance their meals properly and are not just spoon fed everything.
