Hello! I am Rashmi Gopal, and I graduated from the College of Fine Arts, Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath. Initially, my professional journey began as a graphic designer in the corporate world. However, life took an unexpected turn when a health setback ignited my interest in nutrition science. This newfound passion motivated me to take a break from my job and pursue a certification in nutrition.
After obtaining my certification, I transitioned into the role of an independent nutrition advisor. Assisting individuals with their dietary and nutritional needs brought me immense fulfilment. Alongside, the challenges I faced as a new mother, such as hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, anxiety, and stress, prompted me to pause and reflect on my life. This led me on a transformative self-healing journey.
Interacting with numerous clients made me realize that a "one-size-fits-all" approach was inadequate for addressing their diverse health requirements. This realization fuelled my curiosity to explore the fields of health and human behaviour further.
To expand my knowledge and enhance my credentials, I decided to undertake a comprehensive health coaching training program. I successfully graduated as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach from the prestigious Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in New York, USA. IIN, recognized as the world's leading health coaching and nutrition school, provided me with profound insights into nutrition science, holistic lifestyle, Ayurveda, various dietary theories, functional medicine, and coaching skills.
My personal journey and transformative learning experiences have significantly shaped my approach to health and life. Inspired by my own transformation, I am now dedicated to living my best life while also educating, inspiring, and empowering others to do the same.
In my role as a health coach, I take on multiple responsibilities.
I act as an accountability partner, a trustworthy and knowledgeable practitioner who guides my clients towards their health goals.
I embrace the concept of bio-individuality, recognizing that there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution when it comes to diet and lifestyle.
​
Instead, I focus on introducing individualized, sustainable changes tailored to meet the unique needs and health objectives of each client.
​
I create an empathetic, non-judgmental, and client-centric space where individuals can explore their health journeys.
Throughout the past decade, I have had the privilege of working directly with over 500 clients from diverse backgrounds, each with their own health histories and goals. I feel fortunate to have contributed to their well-being by addressing concerns related to menstrual health, gut health, hormonal health, fertility, post-partum care, menopause, pre-diabetes, diabetes, sleep, energy levels, weight management, healthy recipe preparation, and the management and healing of hypothyroidism/PCOS symptoms.
Additionally, I collaborate with the Shreshtha Ayurvedic Center as an Ayurvedic diet coach, helping patients incorporate Ayurvedic dietary principles and lifestyle practices into their lives. I receive personal mentoring on Ayurvedic Nutrition/Dietetics from Dr. Anupama Santosh and Dr. Santosh, the founders of Shreshtha Ayurvedic Center, a renowned Ayur Family Clinic in Koramangala, Bengaluru
In addition to my individual coaching services, I also conduct educational presentations and online webinars for corporate organizations, schools, and colleges. These sessions are specifically designed to create awareness and educate people on various health and well-being topics. Through interactive and engaging content, my aim is to foster a connection and instill lasting healthy habits in the participants.
My commitment to ongoing growth, deep knowledge of nutrition science and holistic health, and genuine passion for helping others make me a valuable health coach dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of my clients.
