About Monica
I am a registered dietitian with 3 years of clinical experience in a weight management setting. I received my undergraduate degree from Saint Louis University in 2020 and completed my Master's degree and internship at Bradley University in 2022. I am passionate about helping individuals achieve their health goals through personalized, science-based nutrition strategies. I focus on the unique needs of each person and empower them to make sustainable lifestyle changes. I believe that setting specific and measurable goals is key to long-term success!
Approach to care
I believe that all foods fit into any way of eating. I love talking about what can be added to your diet rather than what should be taken away. I believe in balance and moderation, not elimination and restriction!
Your first session with Monica
We will get to know each other, discuss your motivation for wanting to improve your health, and discuss your current lifestyle patterns. I always aim to end the session by setting a specific goal.
