Meet The Team

Madhusmita
INFS certified Nutrition & Fitness Coach

From an anemic kid, a teenager with PCOD, to a new mum with hypothyroid, Madhu’s journey is very similar to that of many women - a story where they put themselves last. With motherhood, she learnt that health is not about extremes, but about balance. Today, through SBM, she helps women switch from the ‘all-or-nothing’ approach to building sustainable habits.

Harshita
PN certified nutrition coach

She had tried it all: strict diets, cutting carbs, too much cardio, but still ended up gaining all the weight back. So she paused and took a break to understand the why. That’s when it clicked. It wasn’t about trends. It was about combining nutrition with movement (especially running, yes, she runs 50 km sometimes!). She focused on small, simple changes that stayed. Now, she helps others do the same, finding habits that are easy, personal, and truly theirs.

Reshma
Data Analyst

Analyst by profession, powerlifter by passion. Her fitness journey began after a personal loss sparked a deeper focus on health. What started as basic workouts soon led her to powerlifting, where she discovered strength and purpose. Lifting taught her that health isn’t about a number; it’s about showing up and feeling strong. For her, SBM is a community where she helps make fitness simple, supportive, and empowering, one rep at a time.

Arul
PN certified nutrition coach

A marketeer at heart and mum to a spirited 6-year-old, Arul’s tryst with nutrition truly began when she became a parent. While trying to get everything right for the child, especially nutrition, she realised that she wasn’t extending herself the same grace. She worked on changing that, and today, she believes food should feel nourishing, not stressful. With a background in consumer behaviour and a love for strength training, Arul helps you rebuild your relationship with food with kindness, curiosity, and compassion.
