About Monika

Hi, I’m Monika, a registered dietitian with over 10 years of experience. I grew up in Poland and now call New York home, where I live with my partner and our twin daughters. Life with them keeps me on my toes and constantly reinforces the importance of balance, patience, and joy. Between my work, parenting, and family adventures, I’m endlessly inspired by the powerful role food plays in bringing people together—both at the table and beyond

Approach to care

As a dietitian, my goal is to help people develop a positive, sustainable relationship with food while supporting their individual health and wellness goals. My work is grounded in evidence-based nutrition, compassion, and practical strategies designed for real life. I believe nutrition is not one-size-fits-all. Rather than rigid diets or quick fixes, I partner with clients to understand their lifestyle, medical history, preferences, and goals. Together, we create personalized nutrition plans that promote long-term health, balance, and a true enjoyment of food.

Your first session with Monika

The initial session is designed to get to know you. We’ll review your health history, lifestyle, current eating habits, and goals to build a clear picture of your needs. In a comfortable, nonjudgmental setting, we’ll begin developing a personalized, sustainable nutrition plan. You’ll walk away with some actionable strategies and a clear understanding of how nutrition can support your overall well-being
