About Monique

Nourishing change has been my work and my joy for more than two decades. I trained in Charleston, South Carolina, studied at University of Florida as well as Florida State University and hold an MS in Nutrition Education and Health Behavior. For 27 years I have practiced as a registered dietitian, now credentialed as an RDN. My career includes clinical and hospital care, research and academia, and time working in Miami, Melbourne, and Tallahassee, Florida as well as abroad in Singapore, Southeast Asia (6 years) and Germany (6 years). When I'm not working, I enjoy Zumba, Artwork, and relaxing with family and friends. As a Dietitian/Nutritionist, my goal is to help you happily reach realistic, lasting goals.

Approach to care

Evidence and empathy guide how I partner with people. I rely on current research and practical protocols to translate science into everyday steps, and I teach so that you can make informed choices. Our work follows a Health At Every Size perspective, is weight-neutral and behavior-focused, and looks at the whole person, including emotional and social factors. We'll set clear, direct actions and build accountability in a supportive, nonjudgmental way so changes stick over time.

Your first session with Monique

Expect a relaxed, thorough conversation where we review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics, and take a deep dive into your relationship with food. We'll talk about what matters most to you, identify short-term goals, and outline practical next steps that feel manageable. This is a judgment-free, low-pressure space. You don't need to have everything figured out, just bring your questions and experiences and we'll create a plan together.
