About nomadicnutritionist
Hi! My name is Hema, I’m a marketer and holistic nutritionist with a passion for food & travel.
I spent many years as a hard working corporate cubicle dweller, using the 2-3 weeks of yearly vacation time to quench my thirst for travel. As much as I enjoyed my job it wasn’t a life I had envisioned for myself - in my 20s I vowed never to spend my days sitting under fluorescent lights - but I felt stuck. I felt stuck by what I thought was expected of me and by the income. I wanted to do something different but I could not imagine starting over again so I didn’t. That all changed when I got sick.
Over the next several years, while still working, I delved into the world of health & wellness trying all sorts things in an attempt to get well again. It took several years, lots of trial & error, and a few tears but I managed to get to a place of better health. During that time I took an honest look at my life and discovered I wasn’t really living the life I wanted. So I quit my corporate job and went back to to school to study nutrition. And here I am starting over.
This is me now: I love to eat, cook, bake and strive to consume whole, nutrient-dense foods that work for my body. As a graduate of the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, I enjoy teaching others that with the right foods we can promote and maintain good health – and it can be done simply, easily & without sacrificing taste!
When I’m not working, cooking and studying, I love to visit other countries and do it every chance I get. It might be a few days at a resort, meandering through a country on my own or joining a small group tour. My favourite thing to do while travelling? Sample the local cuisine of course!
This is my journey. Join me while I share simple tips to stay healthy, recipes and travel stories.
