Founder & Performance Nutrition Expert
Get to Know Rashmi Cherian
My journey as a sports dietitian began over 15 years ago when I first embarked on a career in nutrition.
After completing my 12th board, I decided to pursue Food Science as it offered a wide range of subjects to study.
I went on to complete my Masters in Food & Nutrition and started my career as a Stroke Dietitian at CMC hospital. During my time there, I conducted research on stroke patients, which was later published in two international journals.
I also presented my research at the International Congress of Neurology in Bangkok. I also cleared my Registered Dietitian exam and obtained my license.
After working as a Clinical Dietitian for almost five years, I decided to shift my focus to sports nutrition.
I was passionate about working with athletes, as I realized there was a lack of awareness about nutrition among them. This led to the genesis of my company, “Wellness Vows”.
For the past 10+ years, I have been working with athletes all over India and outside of India as well, and today, I am one of the most recognized performance nutrition experts.
THE MISSION
“My mission is to help athletes improve their Sports Performance by EATING RIGHT”
My underlying philosophy that guides all my work is to enable athletes to optimize their performance and have a winning edge.
I have a Level 1 Anti-Doping Certification from Sports Integrity Australia, and my mission is to help athletes improve their sports performance by eating right.
At “Wellness Vows,” my team of coaches and experts have helped thousands of athletes at the grassroots level and over 5,000 national and international medal winners in competitive sports to achieve their goals.
I have worked with athletes from around the world, including the US, Canada, UK, Dubai, Australia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and more.
In recognition of my work, “Wellness Vows” has been listed among the top 10 Women Founded Companies of the year 2021 by Women Entrepreneur, India. My journey as a sports dietitian has been incredibly fulfilling, and I look forward to continuing to help athletes achieve their full potential through the power of proper nutrition.
