About Me

Physician · Lifestyle Medicine Coach · Medical Educator · Speaker & Writer · Health Strategist

From Mysore to Mississauga, London to Ratho Mill, and Chicago to Toronto — I have had the privilege of living, learning, and growing in India, St. Vincent, USA, and Canada. 

These experiences exposed me to diverse health systems, communities facing profound hardship, and the deeply human side of medicine that no textbook could teach.

My academic and professional journey began with a focus on health promotion. Early experiences within public health systems gave me a window into systemic-level change and laid a strong foundation for everything that followed. My international clinical experiences deepened my conviction that meaningful care must transcend the typical clinical setting — that healing is as much about relationship as it is about remedy.

I leverage medical expertise to coach, translate, design, and strategically implement evidence-based health initiatives across systems — to enhance patient self-efficacy, inspire lasting behaviour change, and optimize care delivery models. 

My practice bridges Allopathic, Ayurvedic, and Lifestyle Medicine principles to provide whole-person care that meets people exactly where they are.

As a speaker and educator, my work extends across community, corporate, academic, and conference stages — where I have delivered keynote sessions, CME, and education to audiences of up to 1,500. My teaching emphasizes translation

of complex medical information into language that is clear, human, and actionable for everyone. 

Earning my Diploma in Lifestyle Medicine strengthened my clinical understanding and allowed me to transition my focus to coaching people to take true ownership of their health. I am now dedicated to sharing knowledge such that individuals feel empowered to create their best selves — and healthcare providers feel inspired to adopt a relationship-centered care model that fosters stronger therapeutic relationships and better outcomes for the patients they serve.

My strategic work has spanned building expert physician networks from the ground up, driving clinical adoption of digital health solutions from pilot to full-scale integration across independent practices and large multi-site health systems across Canada, the United States, and Europe, changing not just how care is delivered, but how providers experience delivering it. I have also developed curricula for medical students across Canada, the United States, and internationally — teaching resilience and professionalism, and inspiring the next generation of clinicians to redefine how they practice medicine.

Prerana means inspiration in Sanskrit. But InspiredTo wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born at rock bottom.

In 2021, I had the stark realization that life was happening to me. 

I wasn't an active participant in my life. I had unquestionably immersed myself in a field of study for 10 years only to find myself questioning everything I had ever been taught. Including myself. 

Board exams were a marker of time and my scores a reflection of my self-worth. 

I was going to become a doctor, I had a purpose in life. But, I had completely lost myself. I guess this was rock bottom. I was stuck in the pond muck beneath the water. Here, I was forced to self-reflect and consequently flower into a beautiful lotus. 

I didn't find myself. I found the inspiration to create myself. 

Not living in accordance with your value system can be painful to your soul, and negatively impacts your physical health, and mental wellbeing. After deep self-reflection, I recognized my true life purpose was to help people feel good about themselves, step into their most authentic, and liberating identity. 

I've gained knowledge from my lived experiences, formal education, and professional work and I designed InspiredTo so that I can share this knowledge and foster a growth mindset for health and wellness. 

My message to you is fierce: 

“foster the courage to self-reflect and you’ll find the inspiration to create yourself”.
