    … Monica is SUPERB at what she does while allowing her true self to be visible to all of her patients. Not only is she incredibly knowledgable of her field of study, she provides a unique approach to the treatment, guidance, and accountability to her clients.
    I have been able to get to know Monica on a personal and professional level and when I say that she wants to see the success of EVERYONE that she comes into contact with both in her personal and professional life it would be an understatement. As a chef, it is very hard to guide a client in the depths of understanding nutrition, often leaving clients confused on which way is up. Monica does a wonderful job letting you feel like a real person when it comes to eating and living well! So much love for this dietitian!

    If I could update my review to 6 stars, I would. To date I've lost around 40 pounds, and yesterday I placed first in my age division in my first ever duathlon -- none of which would be possible without Monica's wisdom!! If you're on the fence, CALL HER.

    Monica is such a great dietitian. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and at the same time is able to simplify and break things down so that they're easy to understand and apply to your every day life. She doesn't just tell you what to do but also explains why it's important, which is what has motivated me to make changes in my diet and stick to them. Plus she's so fun and nice, a pleasure to work with.

    Monica was absolutely wonderful in helping me identify bad habits and finding healthy food I actually enjoy eating. I was astonished by the amount of material and knowledge she transferred during our initial meeting. I would highly recommend Essence Nutrition to anyone looking to change their outlook on life. And don't wait to sign up! She's always booked at least a month out.

    Monica is fantastic! Her approach is health-oriented, and not about being thin. … So far I have started at about 125 and now weigh 117 pounds. The best part is that when I'm hungry, I eat! And Monica has helped me find healthy and tasty alternatives to the types of food I already like to eat. I don't feel like it's been painful at all, and I don't feel deprived. I wouldn't say I was overweight, but I haven't been at a weight that feels like "me" in a long time. I feel lighter and more comfortable in my own skin, and now I'm paying more attention to my body's natural hunger signals. Monica will also help you identify other areas of your life or your behaviors that may be preventing you from reaching your natural body weight. I highly recommend her practice!
