About Monika

Hi, my name is Monika and I have been a registered dietitian for over 10 years. I grew up in Poland but now 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

As a dietitian, my goal is to help individuals build a positive, sustainable relationship with food while supporting their unique health and wellness goals. My approach is grounded in evidence-based nutrition, compassion, and practical guidance that fits real life. I believe that every person’s nutritional needs are different. Rather than focusing on rigid diets or quick fixes, I work collaboratively with clients to understand their lifestyle, medical history, preferences, and goals. Together, we create individualized nutrition plans that promote long-term health, balance, and enjoyment of food.

Your first session with Monika

Your first session is all about you. We’ll talk about your health history, lifestyle, eating habits, and goals to better understand where you are and where you want to be. This is a comfortable, judgment-free conversation focused on creating a realistic, sustainable plan. You’ll leave with practical steps you can start right away and a clearer picture of how nutrition can support your health — feeling supported, understood, and encouraged.
