Our Belief

We believe in customized solutions that prioritize your unique needs.

Our beginnings

During their rigorous clinical training at New York-Presbyterian, Kay and Priyanka were fortunate to be paired as partners in the program. Amid the flurry of patient care, they quickly bonded over their shared commitment to nutrition. It wasn’t long before they discovered that their mutual love for helping others through diet and wellness was more than just a professional interest—it was a passion that defined their careers.

They envisioned a new path and dreamed of creating a private practice that would embody their shared values—combining research-backed nutrition with compassionate, individualized care.

Thus, the idea for Lotus Nutrition & Wellness was born. With their combined expertise and a clear vision, they embarked on the journey of establishing their own practice.

Today, Lotus Nutrition & Wellness stands as a testament to their shared passion and commitment. It is a practice where innovation meets empathy, and where every client’s journey is supported by the latest in nutritional science and personalized care. Their story of a fortunate partnership and collaborative discovery continues to inspire and drive them as they help others thrive on their own paths to health.
