Whether sharing her wisdom from her wellness hub at Phi clinic or via her Just Be retreats, Gudiya Dagur Patel’s secret weapon is a combination of scientific smarts and spiritual wisdom. She offers nutrition therapy, life coaching, and functional testing (including DNA testing and glucose monitoring), alongside wellness rituals such as pranayama breathwork, mindfulness, and meditative practices. The aim: to swerve quick fixes in place of real advice tailored to you.

Most importantly, Gudiya understands burnout because she’s been there. Born and raised in Hong Kong to Indian parents, Gudiya grew up in a home that embraced mindful living before it became mainstream: no white carbs, everything freshly cooked, and her engineer dad quoting Deepak Chopra over dinner. That foundational philosophy — that what we feed our bodies and minds matters — stayed with her, but it wasn’t until her own health crisis that things truly shifted.

After years of juggling — co-owning and running a business while raising a family — Gudiya was then also diagnosed with kidney cancer at 40. A decade later, it returned. Undeterred, she decided to change her life — and those of others — with a new kind of holistic healing programme. Determined to become an expert in her field, Gudiya studied nutrition (at CNN), trained in mindfulness, breathwork, and transformational coaching, and became a certified healthcare practitioner through Dr. Joe Dispenza’s renowned program. The latest string to her educational bow is an MBA.

Today, Gudiya offers a deeply personalised, holistic coaching and consultation service out of the Phi clinic, helping turn the business into a top-to-toe beauty and wellness hub. Gudiya’s clients — mostly women in their mid-30s to 50s, dealing with burnout, menopause, grief, or big life transitions — come to her for help with gut issues, weight gain, fatigue, or just that feeling of being utterly depleted.

What they get is far more than food plans or supplements (though those are definitely on the menu). You get someone who sees the whole person and who understands how our emotions shape our physical health. In the process, she makes complex health concepts accessible, and she doesn’t stop at the clinic door. She now runs weekend-long Just Be retreats to get busy women out of their ‘constantly on the go’ cycle, and is even in talks with major banks to support stressed-out employees through corporate coaching.

Above all, Gudiya’s message is simple but profound: start with the basics and reprioritise. She won’t throw a 20-step plan at you. She’ll meet you in your real life. And she’ll help you build something better from there.
