Outside the clinic, Hyeon-Jin enjoys a lively home life with her husband, 3 children and dog Sawyer. Together, they love playing sports, exploring nature, going on ice cream-fueled road trips, and enjoying cozy movie nights at home.
About Pallavi Ramamurthy
With two decades of experience leading global marketing and branding for luxury fashion and skincare brands, Pallavi developed a deep understanding of how women connect with the world around them. Over time, she felt compelled to apply that expertise to something more personal, grounded, and transformative.
Her interest in health and nutrition was established well before her professional career began. Raised in a family rooted in generational Ayurvedic principles and home-cooked meals, wellness formed the foundation of her upbringing. In her early thirties, at the height of her career and approaching burnout, she recognized the need to create space for balance as she prepared for motherhood later in life. Following a high-risk pregnancy and the premature birth of her daughter during the early days of the pandemic, she decided to pursue a more meaningful path. Her focus turned toward supporting women through the physical and emotional complexities of perimenopause, menopause, and the broader midlife transition.
Today, as a certified health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, Pallavi helps women navigate this pivotal life stage with clarity and confidence. She develops tailored, sustainable plans and serves as a health advocate in collaboration with their care teams. Her approach is the result of an integrated expertise spanning education, research, cultural heritage, and lived experience, applied with precision to the unique needs of women in midlife.
