I came to Monika during a time in my life where I wanted to fix my disordered relationship to food and my body. I spent years yo-yo dieting, starving and punishing my body, all the while craving all the “bad” foods and binging when I would give myself a break. Monika was an empathetic listener who educated me about hunger, food choices, and gave me the tools to keep going on my journey, which is still not finished. She was with me every step of the way, encouraging me, giving me useful tips and informative resources. I’m so glad I decided to invest in my health! I am now more confident in my decisions, and my food anxiety has decreased significantly. Figuring out how to escape from previous thought patterns and developing a better relationship with food is so hard to do on your own. I can’t recommend Monika enough!
I really enjoyed working with Monika, she listened to my concerns and helped navigate the reasons why I had that relationship with food and my body image and we worked through ways to change it. I felt that Monika really wanted to help find ways to help me in my busy lifestyle as a full time working parent to a 1 year old and there was no pressure or overwhelming sense of have to do everything now. Monika appreciated that my busy life meant the changes would be gradual and that habit stacking was the best thing for. The best thing to come out of us working together is my relationship with my body image and I am so grateful for using some of the time we worked together on that.
I cannot recommend MB Dietetics highly enough. From the very beginning, she demonstrated an impressive knowledge of both the mind and the body, and how food plays a vital role in supporting overall wellbeing. She took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and designed a tailored plan that suited both my lifestyle and my goals. What truly stood out was her responsiveness and genuine care. Her approach is both professional and compassionate, creating a space where I felt heard, supported, and motivated.
I cannot rate Monika highly enough. She has taught me so much about nutrition but her support extends far beyond that. She has helped me to begin a journey of self-compassion and healing. Monika has an exceptional ability to understand what I am trying to express and communicate this in a way that is easy to understand. She has provided me with so many 'lightening bulb' moments. To anyone considering a nutritionist, I don't you will find anyone better.
Working with Monika has been such a positive experience for me. I’ve struggled with food and bingeing for years and honestly didn’t believe I could ever overcome it. Every time I tried before, I’d manage a couple of weeks without bingeing, but as soon as something stressful happened, I’d be right back at square one. Since starting working with her, I had a couple of ‘slip ups’, but instead of making me feel bad about these, she’s helped me see those moments as part of the process; not failures, but opportunities to learn and grow. My default would have been to give up or say unkind things about myself rather than learn from such circumstances! She helped me recognise my negative patterns around comfort eating and binge eating. We looked at my self-sabotaging thoughts together, so now I understand them in a way I never had before. Now, even though I still have those thoughts sometimes, I’m so aware of them that it’s easy for me not to believe them—and definitely not to act on them. What I appreciate most is how kind and supportive she is. She constantly reminds me to be gentle with myself and to look at the bigger picture. It doesn’t come naturally to me, so these reminders have supported me in ‘training the self-compassion muscle’. She’s taught me that it’s okay to go off track sometimes and that those moments are actually opportunities to figure out what’s really going on and practise new ways of coping. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and helps you grow at your own pace, I can’t recommend Monika enough. She’s made such a difference in my life, and I’m so grateful.
I can’t speak highly enough of Monika and am so happy she’s been my dietician. Monika is exceptionally perceptive and empathetic and I always looked forward to our sessions. I have disordered eating and suffer from irregular periods. After 3 sessions, I have started to eat more intuitively by listening to my body and feel I have a much better understanding of how to enjoy a more balanced diet to nourish my body. I am ever so grateful to Monika and she is an absolute life-changer.
Monika has been very helpful, understanding and compassionate. Have developed much better of a relationship with myself and food since working with her. Thank you so much Monika for all your guidance life is so much better not living in as much my head in terms of my eating habits and body image as before. Forever grateful
I went to Monika for advice on how to combine improving my nutrition and lifestyle to increase my fertility and alongside lose some weight. She gave me good advice and helped me understand what I need to do differently to see the results I wanted. Her advice is easy to follow and sustain even during periods that are off the routine, e.g. on holiday. I appreciate that she also talked to my husband on fertility and what he could do differently, given we had concluded our consultation with fewer sessions than originally anticipated
I’ve recently completed the 22 week Be Good with Food / Transformation course and I can’t speak highly enough of Monika and the course. After trying every single diet known to mankind, calorie counting, shakes, weight loss surgery, intermittent fasting, exclusion diets, intensive PT sessions, countless gym memberships and expensive 'transformative' weight loss apps (you get the idea), I’d lost hope and motivation in losing weight, and getting control of my body. My mood was at an all time low, which effected every facet of my life (work, relationships, body image etc). After my first few sessions with Monika I felt as though I could share my feelings (and my food diary!) safely and without judgement. She worked with my established (poor) diet, suggesting small and manageable changes to improve my overall health. Gradually I started to trust this process and the key to feeling better overall is knowledge. The power and freedom to make choices based on some fundamental principles has built a solid and exciting foundation for me to keep building on. I now no longer step on the scales (which is something I’d routinely do, every day for the last 5+ years, so even this is a huge and unmeasurable win!), my clothes fit, I feel healthy, full of energy, I’m generally happier, more productive and my relationships are flourishing. It’s still work everyday to make these choices, but Monika empowered me with the knowledge to make choices based on their benefits to my overall health. I eat without guilt; without shame and with a freedom that no food is off limits. My ultimate goal was to lose weight, and have no doubt that over time this will happen now my diet has improved and is more varied - but right now I’m riding the high of feeling great, and not being bound by my daily and debilitating negative body image and restrictive food thoughts. Thanks again Monika!
Working with Monika has been the best decision I made this year! I have PCOS and an underactive thyroid and had been struggling to lose weight for nearly a decade. I had two early miscarriages in late 2021 and early 2022 and had not been able to fall pregnant since. Since working with Monika, I now have a deeper understanding of how to support my body, my cycles are getting more regular and I'm losing weight more consistently. I am so much confident in my body too and I know what to focus on going forwards! The support and accountability Monika provides is incredible and I highly recommend her services.
I decided to go ahead with Monikas PCOS programme after lots of consideration and I'm glad I did! Monika has been great to work with and has approached everything with the sensitivity I haven't been able to get from GPs, whose only solution for me was to "lose weight". With the onslaught of info found online, it's hard to stay motivated to do anything, especially when it all seems like it's unachievable unless I flip my whole life around, but right from the beginning, Monika set achievable goals and took things step by step, so I didn't feel overwhelmed. Towards the end of the programme, I noticed that my period had come 10 days early than usual which it hasn't done for many years, and I even managed to lose 2 kgs and stay there! Monika really helped me take a closer look at my eating habits and how my stress was also affecting things, but I know that even though I may momentarily have a couple bad weeks, I know exactly what I need to do to get back on track and since I've already done it once, I jnow I can do it again!
Monika was a game changer in my life, I am being completely honest as she always was since day 1, she helped not only to know how to eat better and cleaner, but also to love the process and accept myself in a way that I haven't done before. Also I learned more on my insulin resistance. I am really grateful for took the decision of take the program... Thanks Moni! You are truly amazing.
Monika helped me massively, to understand the connection between my brain and gut, and supported me to work on (realistic) improvements to my diet and lifestyle to help manage symptoms. I'd spent years going to the GP without getting much support aside from restrictive diet advice, and never thought I'd get to the point where I was noticing real improvement in how I felt day to day. Thank you!
I can’t recommend Monika enough. She has been so thorough in addressing all underlying issues during our 12 week programme, setting realistic goals & helping me to make & sustain huge changes in my day to day life. She is incredibly professional, organised and has been so supportive & encouraging in the toughest of times. She is truly amazing at what she does and helped me achieve real results!
Monika was amazing with me. Very supportive, realistic and professional at all times. Her service is incredible and she really understood the journey that I was going through. It was super working with somebody who knows their stuff and can support appropriately. I would highly recomend Monika.
Monika has helped me regain control of my health, nutrition and wellness since I gave birth to my second son in April this year and help me break the cycle of sugar addiction. I have had a sugar addiction since I was a young child and have never thought about receiving help from a dietician until this year when I fell pregnant with my second son and realised it’s time to improve my health and nutrition now that I have two little people depending on me! :) I’m so glad I got in touch with Monika as she has given me the tools I need to help me reach this goal. We explored many interesting topics such as the physical and psychological effects of dieting and overeating, developing a healthy relationship with food and exercise, emergency food planning for someone like me who didn’t have a lot of time to cook and prepare meals, I had just given birth and exclusively breastfeeding, I struggled to stay organised and was very sleep deprived. We aligned on a meal plan I would follow each week and one I was comfortable with (I have quite a few intolerances but Monika was very helpful in finding the right foods to ensure I was getting the nutrients I needed and one I didn’t get bored of and looked forward to each day!) She helped me get a better understanding of what healthy eating looks like, what disordered eating is all about, the cycle of binge eating and how to manage cravings and identify when I’m craving vs when I’m hungry. I’ve had over 10 sessions with Monika and she has really helped me turn my health around and I’ve also gained a wealth of knowledge on nutrition and health! :) I appreciate foods I never used to eat, my meals are overall much more balanced than they used to be, although weight loss wasn’t a goal the weight I have lost was in a sustainable way and for the first time I have a sense of control when it comes to sugar cravings. I’m confident the progress I’ve had will continue over the long term thanks to Monica and I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in regaining control of their health, nutrition and wellness to get in touch with Monika. She is brilliant! *****
Monika is incredible to work with! She really takes the time to understand you through her consultations, which allows her to take you through a programme tailored to each of her client’s specific needs. She’s always willing to answer any questions you have to help ensure you’re armed with the knowledge you need to be successful long-term. Working with Monika has been life changing for me - would absolutely recommend!
Working with Monika has been one of the best things I could do for myself. She is incredibly knowledgeable and each session I unlearn heavily ingrained toxic diet culture behaviours. She’s very supportive and will give you the space you need to find what feels good for you. My relationship with food has improved massively! I would recommend Monika to anyone that is considering taking a step in healing their relationship with food and their bodies and learn about nutrition.
Monika's 12-week programme was perfect for me. I was seeking advice on fertility and other health matters and I received invaluable advice, information, and guidance from Monika. I now feel completely prepared for what lies ahead. Monika is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and friendly to deal with.
I reached out to Monika in a moment of great despair, I did not know what I could do to feel better, I was overwhelmed by many things and, most importantly, I thought I would never be able to find a solution. I found the support and sensitivity I needed, I found all the informations and tools I was looking for and that I will always have with me. I still have a long path in front of me but I have now confidence and positivity that will help me reach my goals.
Following a diagnosis of insulin resistance and PCOS (and a possible eating disorder), I reached out to Monika, seeking her assistance in getting my diet changed and feed my body with the right food for it and in the right way. Monika was amazing from the start. She LISTENED to me, advised, comforted and supported me, never once making me feel ashamed or judged. I have been working with her since November 2021 and I can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I cannot recommend her enough!
Really great experience and surpassed my expectations as to what I would be getting for the money I was spending. Monika has such a diverse range of knowledge. I felt totally supported throughout this whole process and she even managed to get me the correct diagnosis. Something that my GP had actually missed. So for me really was a life-altering experience.
I was looking for a dietitian to help me with my PCOS and IBS symptoms and a colleague recommended Monika. I had tried so many diets before and nothing worked long-term, but since seeing Monika my attitude towards food and my body has changed and I am so grateful for it. She helped me adjust my eating in a way that helped my periods and I now also know what triggers my IBS. I also lost some weight, but that wasn’t even the aim, we tried to just focus on nourishing my body in the way that suits me. I am so pleased I took the plunge and booked her support programme, it was worth every moment and every penny I spent on it and would highly recommend.
