Bhavani Swaminathan is a nutritionist and holistic wellness coach based in Mumbai. She founded Aakankshadfw: Desire for Wellness, an organization dedicated to raising awareness across all ages about taking care of one’s body through diet and exercise. With a Master's in Food & Nutrition from Calcutta University and a Master's in Philosophy from the University of Mumbai, Bhavani is well-versed in her field. Currently, she is furthering her education by pursuing a Ph.D. in Diabetes Management at the University of Mumbai, with her thesis focusing on managing diabetes through food, exercise, and meditation.
Bhavani’s journey with GetSetUp began thanks to her loyal clients.
“I have a lot of senior citizens that follow me on Instagram and Facebook, and I conduct a lot of sessions for them. One of them sent me a message and said GetSetUp is something I joined yesterday and thought it was interesting. You should join.”
Curiosity piqued, Bhavani didn’t hesitate to explore GetSetUp. She registered on her phone right away.
“I tapped something and got to see the Guide application. Then I just started to fill in the form and upload the video. Before I knew it, Deval made me a Guide. I never knew that this would happen.”
Since joining, Bhavani has been regularly teaching classes on nutrition, food, and diet. She started by hosting a "Nutrition Hour," offering classes on various topics related to healthy eating.
In addition to her regular classes, Bhavani also hosts sessions in Hindi to cater to those who prefer the language over English. She enjoys teaching these classes and feels proud to be at the forefront of this initiative.
Bhavani particularly enjoys teaching classes on nutrition where she demonstrates how to create healthy and delicious recipes. These classes are especially rewarding when participants return, excited to share their experiences with the new dishes they've tried.
“It’s not just the participants, though, who are learning—I am learning a lot as well!”
“I have learned how to explain well when I talk about nutrition. Plus, one class I was preparing a recipe and one of the ladies who was attending told me to add another ingredient instead of what I put in. She said it would be much tastier. I tried it later, and it was better than my original one. It is these and many other small instances where I learn from participants that make it so much fun!”
Bhavani sees her primary role as a Guide in senior nutrition, but she is excited to expand her offerings in the future to include classes on healthy exercises and meditation. She has several unique ideas for classes that focus on new and often overlooked areas of health. Bhavani loves being part of GetSetUp’s innovative approach to education for older adults.
“I am loving it, I really am! We have become a family, and we are enjoying classes with each other.”
While these classes are initially designed for elderly adults, Bhavani believes that people of all ages can benefit. She has even invited some of her middle-aged friends, who have joined and loved the experience as well.
Join Bhavani in her fun, interactive GetSetUp classes and discover how small changes in your daily life can lead to a healthier you!
