I can say with absolute certainty that Monique's holistic nutritional guidance and healthy eating coaching have transformed my eating habits (and my looks!!! - Yes, I'm being vain, but I'm just keepin it real). Since working with her, I have noticed that I rarely get the midday headaches that used to occur frequently, and when I look in the mirror, I slightly feel like I'm aging in reverse! #benjaminbutton. (Note: I used to eat a lot of processed food before Monique's coaching changed my whole approach to eating). When I confessed my deep adoration of fast food, she was refreshingly non-judgmental all the while helping me kick the craving.
She is super spunky, motivating, and extremely passionate about what she does. What is it that she does, exactly? Well, from my experience with her, it seems to be a bit of everything, and she was very flexible with me about tailoring her services/guidance to my needs. She was as "hands on" as I wanted/needed her to be, which even included a trip to the grocery store together to help me identify brands/items that would be the perfect blend of healthy/tasty while also teaching me to understand ingredient lists much better and with a far more discerning eye - which I find extremely helpful and rather empowering (Farewell to the days of being duped by confusing ingredient lists...victory is mine!!!)
She also frequently coached me via text, which often was able to be in "real time" (e.g. if I was at a grocery store by myself trying to figure something out) and Monique would give me feedback if she was available at the time. (I'm realizing I sound kind of needy as I write this, but fortunately she was totally cool with it!)
Another interesting factoid is that apparently she herself is omnivorous (while still erring more on the "plant-based" side of things), but is also trained as a "Raw Vegan Chef" (in addition to more generally being a Holistic Nutritionist), so I can see her appealing to people with many different types of dietary restrictions or preferences. Also, I personally was extremely unsophisticated about food/health at the time that Monique started coaching me, so she simplified her approach in accordance with my primitive level of nutritional knowledge. But I could easily imagine she would also work really well with more health-conscious folks that could benefit from a higher level of eating coaching/guidance. So, bottom line - she's great! If you're looking for a healthy eating coach, she's your gal! read more
