We can’t promise it will be easy, but it will be worth it!
After you have made sure we’re a good fit and we’ve both decided this is a good fit. You will be booking your first intake appointment.
The initial office visit is a comprehensive consultation during which Monica will work with you to paint a complete picture of your current health, health history, nutrition, lifestyle, stressors (environmental and internal) and your present condition(s) as well as review your medical history, your past and current health concerns, nutrition and lifestyle. Please bring any medications, supplements, and copies of your lab work with you, if you have them.
When you make your first appointment, you will be asked to provide a 3 day diet diary, fill out a comprehensive intake form, complete a NutriBody Analysis, and a generalized disclaimer. You will need to have these completed within 3 days of your appointment or we will ask you to reschedule.
This first visit will last 60-90 minutes and consists of gathering information so Monica can determine where on the health spectrum you are and determine where to begin your journey. You will leave with a couple of dietary and lifestyle recommendations you can start right away. Then a shorter, second visit will be scheduled one week from the initial visit to go over the full recommendation as well as share detailed information she gathered from your initial visit.
All clients are able to message her between visits with any other information or questions by using the Practice Better messaging system.
Follow up visits are scheduled every 4 weeks to evaluate the changes that have occurred, discuss any concerns you may have and decide whether you are ready for the next step in our health journey program.
Payment: Our policy is to handle the account payment at the time of each appointment unless you purchase a package which can be paid in installations.
Cancellations: We do understand that extenuating circumstances arise. However, we request that any cancellations of your appointment be made 24 hours in advance at no additional charge. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled less than 24 hours in advance are billed at 75% of the total fee.

We Believe
We believe the human body has an innate healing ability and we consider ourselves educators first. It is our mission to educate our clients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and natural therapies to enhance their bodies’ ability to find balance and health. We view the client as a whole person rather than just concentrate on the “dis-ease”
Our Philosophy
We are guided by six principles:
- First, do no harm. We embrace only therapies designed to enhance healing and produce wellness.
- Recognize the healing power of nature. The human body has the capacity to heal itself and maintain homeostasis. We aim to support the body where needed in order to achieve wellness.
- Educate and encourage self-responsibility. We place responsibility for wellness with the individual. A high value is placed on education and health counseling to help you address lifestyle, emotional, and dietary factors under your control.
- Consider the whole person. For individualized care, we consider not only lab results, family history, and physical symptoms but also the mental, emotional, environmental, social, and spiritual factors that affect health.
- Identify and treat the cause. We go beyond treating symptoms to identify the cause of your dis-ease. Correction of the cause is considered the best way to eliminate symptoms.
- Prevent disease.
We present preventive measures to maintain optimum health.
Natural therapies
We draw upon a wide range of therapies.
These include:
- Botanical (also known as herbal medicine, phytotherapy, or phytomedicine). An ancient practice, botanical medicine uses substances derived from the leaves, flowers, roots, and stems of plants to address complaints ranging from the common cold to digestive problems to endocrine system dysfunction. Its use in holistic care is guided by clinical experience and research on side effects, interactions, safety, and appropriate dosing.
- Environmental The body’s natural cleansing systems are often overwhelmed by environmental contaminants that we’re exposed to everyday such as pesticides, toxins, metals, synthetic hormones, prescription drugs, and food additives. Typical symptoms of exposure include fatigue, pain, allergies, and enhanced sensitivity to odors, lights, or noise. Environmental includes a variety of therapies – including seasonal cleansing, dry skin brushing, castor oil packs, and hydrotherapy – to help the body metabolize and excrete undesirable compounds.
- Functional Based on the principle of biochemical individuality – that our bodies are all different due to genetic and environmental factors. In this client-centered approach practitioners address the underlying causes of disease rather than symptoms, recognize the human body as an interconnected physiological system, and see health as vitality rather than the absence of disease.
- Nutritional Hippocrates said, “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.” The nutritional component addresses the relationship between diet and health, including the identification of harmful dietary habits, potential food sensitivities, and nutritional deficiencies. Suggestions include dietary changes and supplementation with professional-grade vitamins and minerals.
- Lifestyle counseling. Lifestyle counseling addresses the physical, mental, and emotional factors in everyday life – diet, stress, emotional or thought patterns, relationship issues, work issues, environmental factors – that affect health. Through lifestyle awareness, each woman can participate more fully in her health and create a restorative environment for self and family.
- Homeopathy. Homeopathy is based on the philosophy that “like cures like.” Homeopathy can work on physical, mental and emotional levels.
Monica loves her work as a Holistic Practitioner. Unlike most of your experiences with doctors, she spends time listening to every client about the primary reason for her visit but also looking into her diet, movement, daily stressors, relationships, thoughts, and rest and the role they all play in her well being. This level of inquiry is essential to help her formulate individualized recommendations. This also allows Monica to empower her client with the knowledge and tools necessary to take control of their own health journey.
Monica specializes in women’s & children’s health with particular interest in Metabolic Syndrome, pre-diabetes, sugar addiction, digestive wellness, including food sensitivities and allergies, hormonal balancing, fatigue and endocrine recovery, weight management, healthy aging, and the role toxins (both exogenous and endogenous) play in behaviour, mood, autoimmune, and chronic disease. Monica’s goal is to get to the root of the problem, not just treat the symptoms.
Monica combines the use of nutrition, nutraceuticals, herbs, homeopathy, easy home therapies & lifestyle recommendations like exercise, journaling, and mindfulness to form a holistic plan.
Monica received her Certificate as a Master Clinical Herbalist in 2018 and her holistic nutrition training from Edison Institute of Nutrition. She completed her Gut Health Specialist & Lifestyle and Weight Management Certificates in 2017.
She currently serves as the Director and primary educator at Huckleberry Mountain Botanicals School of Herbalism.
Being included in each woman’s journey to find the best version of themselves is a privilege and a role she takes very seriously.
Her focus is on the basics of Nature’s Laws:
- High quality nutrition
- Movement
- Restorative sleep
- Stress management
- Hydration
She aspires to offer a full transformative experience for each woman or child, enabling them to develop physical, emotional, mental, and relational vitality and resilience.
She is a member in good standing of ANP, NANP, CANNP, AHG
Info about the COVID “vaccine”
informed consent is the basic requirement for all medical procedures including vaccines. Make sure you are informed before you make any decisions.
This current “vaccine” is gene therapy and is still in the testing phase. Vaccines usually take 5-7 years to manufacture and test, this one has been around less than a year and the mass population has been used as the lab rats. Check out the VAERS (vaccine adverse reaction database) to see a fraction of people who have been affected either through symptoms or death. Please do your research and don’t just listen to the few experts that are pushing it.
This “vaccine” is affecting the reproductive and nervous systems
