About Monika

Hi, my name is Monika. I'm a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator. For the first 7 years of my career I was providing medical nutrition therapy for various medical conditions including diabetes, heart, kidney, and liver disease. As I learned more about the complexities of blood sugar management, I knew I wanted to become a diabetes educator. I spent the last 4 years helping clients to improve blood sugar, lower A1C, and reverse insulin resistance. If you are struggling to lower your A1C, if you're constantly asking yourself what the correct numbers should be, what should you eat or how to prevent complications, I'm here to support you every step of the way!

Approach to care

I believe managing diabetes is not about restricting, but balance. I will never ask you to give up your favourite foods. Instead we will figure out how to lower your blood glucose and HgbA1C while still eating the foods you love! Together we can develop goals that over time will feel effortless and bring consistent results. I'm here to support you in this journey so you can avoid complications, enjoy your favourite foods, and thrive.

Your first session with Monika

During our first session we will get to know each other a little. I will ask some questions that will provide me with a better understanding of who you are, your lifestyle, goals and expectations. Together we will discuss your long term and short term goals that we will work towards during future sessions. I'm looking forward to learing more about you and supporting you in this journey!
