Kia ora & Namaste,

I’m Roshni - I’m a Nutritionist and Somatic Practitioner. I educate, inspire and empower the people I work with using Nutrition and Mindful Somatic Release Techniques as a roadmap for vibrant, thriving health and balance.

I am a foodie! I was born in Lancashire, England to a Kenyan Indian father and Indian mother. When I was 4 we moved to Waiuku, rural Tamaki Makaurau where my parents started a supermarket and bakery in an old dressmaking factory. Growing up amongst such a diverse spectrum of food and people, I got to visit market gardens, organic and biodynamic farms and bid on fresh produce at the Turners and Growers Fresh Produce auctions. My siblings and I worked alongside our dad baking pastries, breads and beautiful organic Sourdoughs in the bakery as well as stacking shelves with instant and packaged foods as well. They are foods that don’t nourish us but typify the majority of the foods that are readily available to us. My Grandma also lived with us so we really were immersed in deliciousness from a very early age. We spent a lot of time chopping, stirring, grinding Indian spice mixes and helping my Grandma cook the family meals. Cooking and sharing food is a massive part of my heritage and my love for preserving the foods of our ancestors to keep their food traditions alive is a huge inspiration for me.

Alongside practising as a nutritionist, I utilise a mind-body based approach based in neuroscience, known as somatic release to provide a truly holistic and integrative mind-body connection. Together with nutrition I find this to be a highly effective combination to get to the root cause, rewire and reset the nervous system and then cultivate the habits and practices that you truly desire.

At age sixteen we had a tragedy in the family that catapulted myself and my siblings into a desire to help and serve others through health and medicine. The path of nutrition fascinated me as it allowed me to combine my deep love for food with preventative health. Experiencing grief at an early age led me into a journey of understanding myself at a deeper level and so I have always felt drawn to traditional and holistic approaches to health. 

My mission is to help others using nutrition, somatic therapy techniques, mindfulness and embodiment tools to overcome health and life challenges, experience more joy, purpose and to live more creatively in the world.
