What Parents Are Saying

    Dr. Shah's program has been an incredible gift. There are a growing number of telehealth/remote coaches in the plant-based space for adults, but not for kids and families and this is such a critical time. As a parent of a plant-based family, we need this type of support and nutrition/lifestyle knowledgeable coaches to discuss challenges, strategies, and what's to come. Having a resource in Dr. Shah, both with her vast experience as a pediatrician and parent, was a meaningful opportunity. Her nonjudgemental, supportive, encouraging, positive approach built confidence in me to stay curious, keep learning, while being confident in my intuition, skills and experience as a parent. I'm really grateful for this time with Dr. Shah and look forward to continuing to visit in the future.

    The coaching that Dr. Shah provided was truly valuable. She helped to educate me about adopting a new approach to meal times that were more joyful and focused on connecting. I also benefited from the parenting insights with raising my son. I highly recommend working with Dr. Shah. She is very compassionate, knowledgeable and approachable.
