Oh…, a whole page where I have to talk about myself… my life, my work, my passion.
This is what has happened so far, from ‘then’ to now:
Born, raised and educated in Germany, I qualified as a Dietitian in Kiel and thereafter obtained my DKL qualification whilst working in Düsseldorf as Senior Dietitian. Subsequently I moved to London, United Kingdom, where I was engaged in catering services, discovering and learning about more diverse types of foods and recipes.
This experience prepared me for the new environments, diverse cultures and different lifestyles I was to encounter when I chose to take up residence in my husband’s native Katana, Sri Lanka. When I started my new life in Asia, my chief occupation turned to being a home-maker and full-time mother of two daughters.
I utilized these years to acquire an extensive insight into South-East Asian foods and food-preparations, indigenous food beliefs and practices. This additional knowledge proved very valuable when I took up the challenge of re-entering actively into my profession.
During the course of my work as a Clinical Therapeutic Dietitian, I have effectively guided, and educated many clients, patients on weight management, diabetes and diverse health problems, requiring nutrition recommendation, dietary therapy, lifestyle modification and behaviour adjustment.
I believe that my strengths are dedication and compassionate approach, combined with realistic goal-setting, as well as motivating not only patients, but their family members as well.
Apart from conducting consultations in hospitals, I am a Resource Person and Visiting Lecturer, guide Weight Loss Challenges, engage in Awareness Programmes, Seminars and Conferences, contribute to all forms of Media and provide daily Health Tips & Info via mobile text messages (SMS), Apps.
I am sincerely grateful for the belief and confidence my patients, clients and renowned health-care professionals have in me, and I truly appreciate the keen interest shown in my professional work.
Take good care of yourself!
