WHY WE EXIST

Reliable knowledge for every stage of parenthood

The Vatsalyam began with a simple idea: families deserve clear, approachable maternal and child health information that respects their questions, values and choices.

Helping people understand their options is an important part of supportive care.

Our guiding principle

My journey

My professional path includes training as a Nurse Practitioner in Midwifery (NPM) through SMS Medical College, Jaipur, alongside a Master of Science in Food Safety and Quality Management from RARI Jaipur.

My work and interests bring together midwifery, clinical nutrition, maternal nutrition, gestational diabetes (GDM), infant feeding and preventive health. More than a decade of clinical experience has shaped how I approach family-centred education and respectful communication.

Through The Vatsalyam, I share articles, learning resources, practical tools and opportunities for workshops and professional collaboration.
