“I believe optimizing nutritional intake is about living a larger life, not limiting your lifestyle.”
Monica develops individualized recommendations that teach you how to eat for life. “Intentional nutrition changes, even small ones,” she says, “can contribute to positive, cyclical health habits”. Additionally, Monica believes taste does not need to be compromised for health. Using creative recipes, she encourages her clients to reach their goals while supporting their mental health, productivity, and overall well-being.
A former competitive athlete, Monica earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nutritional Science at University of Connecticut where she is a 3x record holder, American Athletic Conference record holder, and 2019 All-American Division I NCAA diver. Recovering from multiple sports-related injuries, she discovered she could have autonomy over her food choices and therefore her own body and has been driven to encourage others to do the same.
