Hobbies

My personal keys to well-being are a blend of creativity and connection with nature and people. I find joy and relaxation in cooking, hiking is my way of escaping the hustle of daily life, spending time with friends brings me laughter and a sense of community, while art allows me to explore my creative side, whether it's a coloring book, crocheting/knitting, or decorating. Together, these activities help me maintain balance and a positive outlook on life.

More About This Dietitian

Growing up in a vegetarian family of healthcare providers and learning to cook from my grandmother and mother, instilled in me the importance of the intimate relationship of food in health and wellness. Coming from a different culture increased my interest in learning about the food culture of all people I have worked with over the decades.

"This Dietitian helped me get my life back”

Gia M.

I can't say enough about how great it was working with Manju. Aside from being incredibly caring and personable she is so smart and has an enormous breadth of knowledge about foods, supplements, illnesses, and even medications. I had a series of digestive problems and she was able to guide me with regard to what foods and supplements were good or bad for me. My diet was limited for awhile but Manju was able to come up with tasty recipes which made it so much easier to not feel deprived. She is very patient, never made me feel rushed and was able to help me will all of the issues I presented to her. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone needing nutritional guidance.

I'm very appreciative of having someone like Manju who is grounded in science and knows so much about plant-based eating. She's knowledgeable about gut health and the neuroendocrine system.

Naomi K.

I had suffered with GI symptoms including pain, bloating, heartburn, etc. that affected my life in significant ways for many years and had tried many different pharmaceuticals, supplements, diets, etc with only minimal or temporary relief. Since working with Manju, my symptoms have progressively diminished and are now completely absent. Manju is very knowledgeable and extremely easy to work with. She's realistic, patient, encouraging without being demanding and listens well. While she has recommended some additional supplements, she has also encouraged me to reduce or discontinue others, so I'm not taking fewer medications/supplements than I was when we began to work together. I have already told several friends about her and would recommend her very highly.
