About Monica
After treating and recuperating from her illness using traditional medicine, nutrition and exercise, Monica’s fascination with her own body’s ability to naturally recalibrate empowered and encouraged her to receive more formal training in nutrition, herbs, and healthy living at the Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, Maryland. Monica is a living example of the benefits of a holistic approach to achieving wellness through balance.
Monica counsels clients in all aspects of wellness including nutrition, the use of food as medicine, herbal medicine, mindfulness, and lifestyle habits. Monica creates a safe and confidential space where she offers clients the tools needed to create a healthy relationship with food while awakening their intuitive knowledge to make the shifts needed to attain their personal goals. Monica appreciates the uniqueness and beauty in all of her clients and uses traditional, energetic assessment techniques to craft strategies to restore the natural balance needed to thrive.
Monica, a native of Philadelphia, PA, earned her B.A. in Psychology from George Washington University in 2001. She completed her M.S. in Herbal Medicine from the Tai Sophia Institute, the only accredited Master’s of Science program in Herbal Medicine in the country, in June 2009.
