About
There are many resources out there about yogic and plant-based diets, but what I offer is more than just informationā€”it's personalized guidance for transforming your life. As a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) with many years of coaching, teaching, and community health work experience, I bring a unique blend of one-on-one mentoring and coaching tailored to meet you exactly where you are on your food and wellness journey.Ā
Through our sessions on Zoom or in-person, I will guide you with empathy and insight as you move toward your healthiest and most vibrant self. Whether you are just starting or looking to refine your approach, I am here to support you with practical tools for emotional, spiritual, and nutritional growth. My approach blends nourishing whole foods, yoga practices, and mindfulness techniques into your daily routine, with the goal of realigning you with your highest potential.
Growing up in a challenging environment, I learned firsthand how powerful food and wellness practices can be in overcoming obstacles like anxiety, low self-esteem, and emotional stress. Now, as a personal coach, community health worker, and a program manager for a refugee health promotion program in Houston, TX, I help others navigate their journeys with compassion and care. I believe that when we meet our old patterns with self-love, transformation follows. We create new habits, make bold choices, and witness our own growth and healing.
My mission is to help individuals heal their relationship with food and contribute to global well-being through plant-based diets, mindfulness, and yoga. I hold an MA from Rice University, a Cornell nutrition certification, and bring almost 30 years of yoga experience to my work. On a personal level, Iā€™ve maintained a meditation practice since 1996 and have lived and worked in Italy, China, Indonesia, and Kuwait for 11 years, gaining a global perspective that has deepened my understanding of our shared humanity.
Letā€™s work together to uncover your light and create the healthy, joyful life you envision.

“Monique’s informative Yogic Diet is about finding a better version of YOU. She is always communicating and checking in with her clients to make sure that the program serves as a push towards growth in a very individualized way. Being in Monique's Yogic Diet is not only about raising our awareness about food and health, but it is also about taking a step towards knowledge of the self."
