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.

Ponna
Nutrition Coach

From a techie to a nutritionist, she found her passion through navy life, motherhood with two girls, and her own weight-loss struggle. Emceeing became her reset space. From creating healthy tiffins for kids to building practical routines, her journey showed her that health starts early. At SBM, she blends experience and empathy to help families build simple, sustainable habits that fit real life.

Amatul 
Nutrition Coach

I chose to study nutrition to help people feel more at ease with food. With empathy and experience across diverse health needs, I’ve seen how sustainable habits can truly uplift well-being. I believe food should gently nourish you, and I aim to make every step of the journey feel supportive, not stressful

Vandana 
Nutrition Coach

I stepped into fitness when I noticed lifestyle diseases creeping into my family. It was my wake-up call. As an INFS-certified nutrition coach, I believe we shouldn’t inherit illness instead we should rewrite our story. For me, health is consistency, balance, and awareness. And today, I help others adopt sustainable habits that support long-term wellbeing.

Jayanthi
Nutrition Coach

“Your body can stand almost anything. It’s your mind you have to convince.”

I’m a mom of two who is always passionate about fitness. I was obese back then and rebuilt myself with the help of dance, walking and strength training and turned into die-hard strength training person. My passion for fitness inspired me to pursue a Diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics, gaining strong scientific knowledge. I began by transforming myself and the people around me too through mindful nutrition and strength training, and today through SBM I’m committed to helping people achieve sustainable weight loss and better health. I believe a small tiny step each day leads to big leap one day.
