About Monika

Hi, I'm Monika. With 20 years as a Registered Dietitian, I blend science with warmth to help people build lasting health. I earned an MS in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology and hold credentials including CSOWM and RDN, plus a Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery. My work has spanned clinical hospital, private practice, and community health, so I know how to meet you where you are. When I'm not helping clients, I love cooking, hiking, reading, listening to music, and sharing time with my family. I believe healing grows when we connect with both the body and the spirit, and I bring that holistic view to our work together.

Approach to care

I practice an evidence-based, empathetic approach that respects your unique story. We'll explore current science together and translate it into practical steps that fit your life. I favor a direct, action oriented plan with clear goals and accountability, while honoring your values and pace. I work from a holistic, weight-neutral perspective that focuses on behaviors and well being rather than numbers alone, and I emphasize education so you feel confident making choices long after our sessions end. We'll build sustainable habits that last.

Your first session with Monika

Think of our first appointment as a conversation, not an evaluation. Our session will review your medical history, lab work and relationship with food, and we'll establish short-term goals that feel doable. You don't need to have everything figured out yet, just bring your questions and a willingness to start. We'll discuss what has worked before, what hasn't, and how to tailor a plan to your life. By the end, you’ll have a clear starting point and feel supported to take the next step together.
