Client Testimonials
“I am incredibly grateful for the life-changing guidance and support I received from Monika. When I was first diagnosed with diabetes, I felt overwhelmed and overlooked by my doctor. Monika changed everything. She truly listened to my concerns, took the time to understand my lifestyle, and crafted a personalized nutrition plan tailored to my needs. Her approach made healthy living simple and achievable.
With her support, my blood glucose, cholesterol, weight, and blood pressure all went back to normal within three months. I feel like she gave me a ‘cheat code’ to a healthier life. Working with Monika has been a deeply empowering experience, and I feel healthier and have more energy than I have had in years. Her unwavering support, expertise, and dedication made an incredible impact on my life, and I can’t thank her enough for helping me create lasting, positive change.”

“I honestly cannot recommend Monika highly enough. When I started working with her, I had conflicting information from too many sources and no idea what to do with it all. I was overwhelmed, scared, and confused. With kindness and clarity, Monika helped me figure out a nutrition plan to meet my goals.
Using her software made communication and keeping track of my dietary and health needs really easy. Monika has cheered me on every step of the way.
Her knowledge and understanding guided me to be the healthiest I have been in over 15 years. My doctor was amazed at my results and so am I.”

“Monika is a thoughtful, evidence-based clinician, who provides a well-rounded perspective of the components that go into creating a healthy relationship with food. She has been instrumental in my teenage daughter’s growth in this regard, helping her to gain understanding and agency around her food selection and nutritional choices.
With Monika’s intuitive approach, coupled with her awareness of the complex dynamics of parent-child relationships and food, she has gently guided our family to a place of successful collaboration. With Monika's support, my daughter has gained an understanding of the importance of balanced nutrition, components that will impact her energy and athletic performance, and the initiative to maintain these herself. We are so very thankful!”

"I can’t express how transformative my experience has been with Monika’s guidance through uncharted waters! The springboard to me starting this process was a yearly physical that showed I was prediabetic and 20 pounds overweight. Monika did an outstanding job of coaching me and getting me to look at food in a completely new and exciting way. When I first started, I felt lost and overwhelmed by all the conflicting information out there. Monika took the time to understand my lifestyle, preferences, and goals, tailoring a plan that was not only effective but also enjoyable. She truly listened to the issues I was struggling with, and we really connected on this journey.
Through personalized meal plans and ongoing support, I have learned how to make healthier choices that fit into my everyday life. I no longer see food as a restriction, but as a way to nourish my body. I've gained energy, improved my mood, and dropped the extra weight along the way. And it all feels sustainable.
The accountability and encouragement I received made all the difference. The weekly check-ins were a great tool that made me think about what was on my plate at every meal. I now feel empowered with the knowledge and equipped with the skills to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
I am happy to report, after working with Monika, I am no longer prediabetic. I feel WAY better and have been able to keep the weight off. This has been an incredible, life-changing experience.”

“I am in my late 50s and have suffered from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for the last 15 years. I went to Monika to see if there was anything she could suggest to maybe help the joint pain and inflammation. After an information-gathering meeting on what my current eating habits were and what I was experiencing with my RA, she recommended some radical changes to my diet. I am a comfort food guy and knew that this was going to be challenging for me. But, I did what Monika advised, and by the third full day I noticed a difference in my joints and energy level.
With Monika’s help, I continued making improvements in my diet and ended up losing weight as well. Monika was great with positive reinforcement and offering concrete ways to implement her recommendations. We had weekly conversations to see how things were going and address any struggles I may have been having. She cared about the results I was obtaining and got excited when I got excited. She was right there with me, willing to help in any way possible.”
