About Dhaval

I spent years putting
everyone else first,
and my own health last.

Long hours, back to back meetings, targets to hit, a family to show up for, parents to look after, and somewhere at the bottom of it all, my own health. I told myself I would fix it when things slowed down. They never did. I am not going to tell you I know exactly what your life is like, because the women I work with carry things I never had to. But I do know what it is to run on empty for years and quietly call it normal. And I have spent the last ten years helping driven women understand why that breaks the body, and how to rebuild it.

I didn't plan to become a coach.
I just couldn't stop solving the problem.

PN L2 Master CoachPeople knew what to do but weren't doing it. Went deep into behaviour psychology
Sleep & RecoveryDiscovered the real root: stress, sleep, survival mode. Everything clicked

In my 30s, colleagues around me started getting diagnosed with blood pressure, diabetes, back problems. I watched it happen one by one. But I was fit, healthy, and nobody had ever given me a strict diet or an exhausting workout routine to follow. I'd figured out my own way. Simple, sustainable, nothing extreme.

They started asking me what I was doing. I gave them tips. It helped. But I had no formal education and I kept seeing the same thing everywhere. Dieticians handing out rigid meal plans nobody could follow, gym trainers putting people through painful workouts that felt more like punishment than health. And people walking away feeling like being healthy was just too hard.

I knew it didn't have to be that way.

So I started learning. I got certified as a personal trainer through ACE and began teaching group exercise in studios. The classes filled up because people actually enjoyed it. Then I noticed something. Exercise alone wasn't moving the needle on weight. So I studied nutrition through Precision Nutrition and got certified as a yoga trainer. That helped. But then I noticed something else. People knew what to do. They just weren't doing it.

So I went deeper. I completed Precision Nutrition's Level 2 Master Health Coaching certification, one of the most rigorous behaviour psychology programs available for coaches. That changed everything. Results came faster. Habits actually stuck.

Then I went further still, certifying in sleep, stress management, and recovery. And that's when the final piece fell into place. Lack of sleep, chronic stress, an overloaded nervous system. These weren't just lifestyle issues. They were the reason willpower disappeared, motivation vanished, and consistency felt impossible. They were the root of everything.

Every step I took was because my clients needed something I didn't yet have. I wasn't building a career. I was following the problem wherever it led. Ten years later, that's still what I do.

Every certification came from a question I couldn't answer.

I never collected credentials for the wall. Each one came from a moment when a client needed something I didn't yet have. The result is a rare combination: nutrition, behaviour psychology, sleep, stress, and recovery, all in one place.

Where it started. The exercise science foundation behind every program I build.
Alongside these, I am a 200 hour certified yoga teacher and have completed continued training in exercise science through the University of Colorado and coaching through Harvard ManageMentor. The certifications matter because they answer a fair question when you are trusting someone with your health. But what actually changes things is ten years of using them, with real people, in real life.

I don't coach
from the outside.
I live this from the inside.

I grew up in Rajkot and spent 22 years in Bangalore, building a career, building a life, living the kind of city life that never really slows down. Long commutes, demanding work, a family to show up for, parents back home to worry about. The full picture.

I've recently moved back to Rajkot. Back to where I started. And that transition, leaving a life you've built over two decades to come home, taught me things about stress, identity, and what the body carries that no certification ever could.

I don't live on a gym floor. I don't eat perfectly controlled meals in a perfectly controlled environment. I don't have four hours a day for workouts. Everything I teach has been stress tested in a real life. If it works in that context, it works.

And if I ask something of you, it's because I've already asked it of myself.

Who I work with.
And how.

I work privately with a small number of driven women each year. People who are serious about understanding what's actually going on, not just getting a plan to follow.

My clients are based across India, the US, the UK, Singapore, and Australia. They are doctors, business owners, senior executives, entrepreneurs. Capable people who have achieved a great deal in every area of their lives except this one.

They come to me when everything else has failed. And they stay because for the first time, someone is paying attention to the right thing.

I don't do group programs. I don't do quick fixes. I don't hand over meal plans and wish you luck. I work at the intersection of health and life, because in my experience they are never separate problems.

What I do is quiet, deep, and completely private. I have never named a client publicly or shared their story without explicit permission. I never will.

If you've read this far and something here feels true for you, the next step is simple.
