“I loved how easy it was to find a time on her schedule that fit my hectic life. And when food seemed boring, she had tons of creative recipe ideas. And when I thought I was eating well, I could ask her to review my recent meals and get feedback on optimizing it with substitute ingredients.”

Mona helped guide me through several challenges while loosing weight. We managed type 2 diabetes, Celiac, and DASH diet to find me a path to better health. Under her guidance I lost 43 pounds in four months! Having a diet advocate who helped keep me accountable for food choices, and steering me to better options helped manage chronic conditions I’ve had for 20 years. Using food as a tool to better manage my health worked stronger than medication.
Now I look forward to Mona’s help in developing physical fitness so I can reach some bucket list goals like hiking Yosemite Half Dome.

I really enjoyed my visits with Mona. She is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about her patients. She is patient with good communication skills and made things make sense for me. I’ve been having terrible relationships with food historically but started to see a new horizon with Mona’s guidance and help.

I can’t say enough good things about Mona! I worked with her for over 6 months, and she truly made a difference in my health journey. I’ve struggled with my weight for years and came to her with several health concerns, including my experience with a GLP-1. Mona heard me out. She listened.. She understood my struggles, my barriers, and even my resistance to change without ever making me feel judged. She was always so patient, positive, and encouraging, and somehow made me believe that I really could make changes—even when I felt frustrated or discouraged.
Mona genuinely cares about her patients, and that came through in every visit. I always felt heard, supported, and motivated. She wasn’t just my dietitian; she was someone who encouraged me when I really needed it. I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to work with her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone struggling with weight or their overall health.

Before working with Mona I felt stuck. Tried all the diets. I couldn’t maintain any weight loss. Menopause had changed my body and appetite. I was an overeater especially if I was stressed.
Mona helped me make sustainable changes with practical strategies that fit my life. I learned to eat for weight loss without feeling deprived or trapped in another diet cycle, and I became more confident and in control around food. It took a long time to be consistent with my new habits but with Mona she helped me overcome my barriers that I was not able to prior to working with her. Monas tips and tricks, meal planning ideas were so helpful.
She also helped me stay consistent with exercise and explained not just what to do, but why it mattered. I always felt supported, never pressured.
She genuinely cares about her clients and gives them the tools and confidence to move forward. If you feel stuck with food, weight, or where to begin, I highly recommend Mona.
