About Monika

I live in New York with my partner and twin daughters, who keep me on my toes and constantly remind me of the importance of balance, patience, and joy in everyday life. Between work, parenting, and family adventures, I find so much inspiration in seeing how food brings us together — at the dinner table and beyond.

Approach to care

I’m a dietitian who believes that food has the power to transform not only our health, but also the way we connect with each other. My passion is helping people discover that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated — it can be simple, joyful, and deeply rewarding.

Your first session with Monika

Your first session is all about you. We’ll spend time getting to know your health history, your current lifestyle, and your personal goals. I’ll ask about things like your daily eating habits, food preferences, medical background, and any challenges you’ve faced with nutrition. This isn’t about judgment or a “one-size-fits-all” plan — it’s about understanding where you are now and where you’d like to be. Together, we’ll start creating a plan that feels realistic and sustainable for your life. You can expect: A comfortable, open conversation where you can share freely A review of your health history, lifestyle, and goals Practical ideas you can begin using right away Time to ask questions and get support. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of how nutrition can support your health and with the first steps toward your goals. My goal is to make you feel supported, understood, and encouraged — not overwhelmed.
