Health and Wellness Coach
Hi, I'm Monica! I am a health coach based out of Chicago. I have a passion for helping people develop their healthiest self, both physically and mentally.
An Integrative Nutrition Health Coach is a guide and mentor who empowers you and provides ongoing support and guidance as you set goals and make sustainable changes that improve your health and happiness.
Most approaches to healthy eating dwell on calories, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, I coach my clients to explore basic improvements and implement gradual changes during our work together.
As your Health Coach, I will listen carefully and we’ll navigate the world of contradictory nutrition and health advice together to explore what truly works for you.

Health and Fitness
As a health and wellness counselor, I provide a safe space for my clients to unfold and work through the obstacles that are preventing them from achieving their goals. Amanda came to me about her struggle with weight. Together we discovered that her issues regarding weight loss are related to the toxic relationship she has with her mother. Since Amanda has been able to process her emotional weight, her physical weight has dropped as well.
During our sessions, Monica asked strong, powerful questions that helped me understand why I feel stuck in certain areas. She has helped me work through my fears, and now I feel more confident than ever
I began my journey in wellness about five years ago when I started experimenting with a more plant based diet. Growing up, I knew that certain foods were supposed to be "good for me", but I didn't understand why. My curiosity for the role that food plays on overall health is what led me to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Through my education I learned that one size does not fit all, and that there is no perfect diet for everyone. As a health coach, I help my clients discover what foods and lifestyle strategies are right for them.
My clients are people who are seeking accountability in achieving their goals. I help clients with a variety of health goals. Some of which include weight loss, low energy, home cooking, stress management, plant based diet, and relationships.
Many nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. My approach is different – by eating and drinking foods that are good for you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy foods. Simply put, you will crowd out the unhealthy food in your diet. This takes a little practice to make happen, but I will support you along the way.
Making sustainable changes is difficult. It is easy to fall off the wagon when we don't have someone to support us through the transitions. As a coach, I embark on this journey with you to provide step by step guidance.
A health coach is a guide and mentor, not a licensed physician or therapist. It is important to talk to your healthcare provider before undergoing any major diet or lifestyle changes.
Everyone's journey is unique. I coach my clients to explore basic improvements and implement gradual changes during our work together.
