Jia Yi is an experienced Prenatal and Paediatric Dietitian with a passion for helping individuals and families achieve optimal health through nutrition.
She debuted her career in a mental health institution, and later pivoted into the prenatal and paediatrics field as she discovered her passion with this clientele. Growing up as a Chinese in Malaysia, a multicultural country comprised of Chinese, Indians and Malays, she was exposed to so many delicious cultural meals along with cultural beliefs and practices around food. This helped her to practice with a culturally sensitive approach in her sessions. Outside of her professional experience, she has a nephew with autism. Witnessing their family dynamic first hand has greatly influenced her practice.
These experiences helped Jia Yi to understand that everyone’s nutritional needs are deeply intertwined with their developmental stages, mental health, cultural habits and values.
