Success Stories
Here are what some of my clients had to say after working with me
Our Clients
Gurpreet, 33
PR Professional
What I love is that she asked all the right questions to really understand me as a person (in terms of my past, health, routine, work, future ambitions) and then came up with a plan to fit in with my lifestyle and goals.
She’s given me the guidance I needed to make healthier choices and I’ve enjoyed learning some delicious new recipes.
I feel great compared to how I did six months ago, with more energy and better focus. I can’t thank Monica enough for the advice she has given me.”
Tricia, 52
Participant to the Metabolic Reboot Programme
I was amazed with my results, not only my weight loss of 8lbs but also noticed the difference in my energy, and healthier looking hair and skin.
I really enjoyed the group zoom meetings as well which we very interesting, fun and full of great tips on how to manage our health and diet.
All the recipes Monica provided were delicious with such a variety of food and flavours – my husband really enjoyed them too.
Monica is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She shows her passion for nutrition and wellbeing through her detailed and diligent work.
Monica has now inspired me to change from my old habits and discover new recipes in order to keep myself fit and healthy”
Rana,26
Digital Campaign Specialist, Everyday Nutrition Bespoke Nutritional Programme
Monica offers much more than a standard health plan; she takes the time to listen to your struggles and provides you with the tools and belief you need to push your way through it. She has helped me understand my thyroid condition more than ever before and she is always there to advise me on the next steps to take. I can safely say that I trust every clinical decision she has taken throughout this process.
Monica always says to me ‘we’re on a journey not a race’ which has taught me to be patient and really enjoy this experience. I have now lost 12.4 kgs in less than 4 months, my energy levels have risen significantly and I have become a very active person. The overall service I have received from Monica is superb and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to be healthy and happy!
Thank you for changing my life and helping me become more confident Monica!”

Participants to the “14 days to Thrive” Cleanse
I absolutely loved the meal plans and shopping lists Monica provided and set up food deliveries for each phase of the cleanse. It was really exciting when all these wonderful fresh ingredients arrived – and several things I never think to order in my normal weekly shop. The recipes were so delicious, with big portions so I rarely felt hungry. I also loved the daily protocol routines Monica provided (particularly the luxurious magnesium baths) so my focus was kept throughout the day and it all felt like a bit of pampering ‘me time’ – something I rarely get!
The cleanse helped so much too! My energy levels improved, I felt less achy, my sleep felt deeper and better quality (when my baby didn’t wake me, anyway!), my skin got clearer, my mind felt fresh and focused… and I lost 11.5lbs!! I couldn’t believe it! I worked with Monica in the past on a weightloss programme and what’s not to love?! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, great fun and so supportive. It’s been lovely to be back in touch and I’ll definitely be signing up for one of her future cleanses…”
Julie
Participant to the Metabolic Reboot Programme
During the first lockdown period I had overindulged my sweet tooth, including extra chocolate and alcohol, and now that we were facing more time in lockdown I knew I couldn’t continue with this habit! I was a little nervous signing up as I realised it would be quite a restrictive diet but I absolutely shouldn’t have worried.
The support given by Monica and the other members over our weekly zoom meetings was enormous. Monica’s knowledge and explanations about the values and impact of different food types on the body made so much sense and she was an inspiration to us all.
The programme restricted the intake of caffeine, wheat, lactose and sugar but after an initial couple of days getting used to a new routine I didn’t miss any of these too much at all. I also didn’t feel hungry as the smoothies were very satisfying and surprisingly I didn’t need to snack between meals!
The recipes were so tasty that I didn’t feel deprived at the evening meals, and as they were enjoyed by the whole family, including the vegetarians, I still incorporate them in my list of ‘go to’ meals during the week.
Daily exercise has been a necessity for us all to feel positive during lockdown but Monica’s target of 10k steps encouraged me to walk further afield and discover different areas of my local countryside. It just made me feel good to connect with nature and again something that I have continued to incorporate in my daily routine.
I felt more energised, better focused and also extremely happy with my weight loss of 9lbs over the 3 week period. Even better is that I have not regained the weight since finishing the course!
Joining the programme gave me the boost I needed to change my eating habits and approach to food, I feel more energised and generally better about myself! Thank you Monica x”

Thank you so much for this program! It was the one that I needed.

“Hi lovely Monica
I just wanted to say how great I found your ’14 days to thrive’ program! Not only did I loose 6 pounds, I genuinely feel that I have reset quite a few of my bad habits, i.e. snacking . Also, feel I will be able to have a few alcohol free days each week and make better food choices for blood sugar control.
You were lovely and supportive throughout being always available for any questions and feedback on the program or any problems we were having. Also, very flexible offering lots of food alternatives in case some didn’t suit making the whole process very simple and enjoyable.
Thank you SO much xxxx “
Lorraine Heavey
Participant to the “14 Days to Thrive” Cleanse
I have also attended some of her lectures on nutrition and I have taken part in a cooking day and a talk on hormones and menopause and I can honestly say there is no one I know in nutrition and wellbeing who is more particular about getting to the bottom health issues by addressing diet, exercise, relaxation and with supplements and who strives to bring about optimal health for each of her clients.
She does not offer quick fixes to lose weight or heal the body but rather takes a long-term view of nurturing the body and mind.
She also shares some magnificent recipes and smoothies which are very nutritious and tasty.
She is truly inspirational.”
Xenia Wayman
Participant to the “14 Days to Thrive” Cleanse
“I signed up for a variety of reasons including over-eating/drinking during lockdown where the weight started creeping up but, also, to see whether I could challenge myself to do it. I didn’t think I would last two weeks and had convinced myself that I would give it a go but wouldn’t be fanatical about it. I didn’t think my energy levels were low or that I would have noticeable results. I was so surprised!!! From the very beginning I could see and feel the benefits of this cleanse. The de-bloating, amazing boost of energy and weight loss were a pleasant daily surprise which encouraged me to stick to Monica’s plan and I saw amazing results! Marvellous!!!”
Sarah Fox
Participant to the “14 Days to Thrive” Cleanse
The Cleanse was much easier than I expected, considering that I was giving up caffeine, wheat, sugar, dairy, and alcohol. But with regular meals and some lovely recipes that I’ll be continuing to use in future, I can honestly say that I was never really hungry, and only on one occasion did I find myself craving a glass of wine. Now that the fortnight is over, I am drinking coffee again, and occasionally using dairy, but I shall be sticking with almond milk in the healthy smoothies I’ll be making, and I have no desire whatever to consume refined sugar or wine.
The benefits for me have been on two levels. Physically, I am less bloated and have lost 3 pounds in weight. Mentally, my mind is clearer, and I no longer only daydream about improving my diet. Now, I KNOW that I can do it, because you have given me the encouragement, the inspiration and all the tools with which to make this change, and now to carry on with respecting my body and health well into the future.”

I want to thank you to change my vision about food! After only two weeks I have lost 2 kg and I have learnt that I can live without meat and animal protein! In future I will continue to use your recipes. I am happy because I feel that I have much more energy after the cleanse, and I am enjoying eating different types of food. Thank you for this experience.”
Sally, 46
Stoke Poges, Managing Director, Investment Bank
Fitting the programme into my life has been easy, especially when Monica has patiently and continuously tweaked the finer details until she found something that worked with my busy schedule.
For me, it was less about ‘dieting’ and more about feeling energised again and adopting a healthy lifestyle. The results have far exceeded my expectations!
My body feels like it works again and it loves being a stone lighter, especially when this was achieved with minimal exercise.
Thank you, Monica, you have been a godsend!”
Louise Mulley
Age – 51, London
I could not fit into lots of my clothes and felt despondent – I just did not feel like myself. I am also an events organiser with a very active social life which requires a lot of eating out and attending events which of course has its challenges with dieting/weight loss.
Monica reviewed my diet and discovered that it was not how I was eating but, rather, what I was eating. Through some very simple changes and continual consultation with Monica, I was able to overhaul my diet and focus on those foods which I should avoid, rather than restricting quantities etc. I could still enjoy a wide variety of foods so eating/going out was still very enjoyable.
Within 3 months I had lost over 8kg. This was coupled with a variety of other tests (bloods etc) and the prescription of relevant vitamin supplements to support my programme, together with making sure I continued to maintain a programme of regular (but enjoyable) exercise.
Under Monica’s guidance I became more conscious of the food choices I was making. I am still enjoying a very active social life but, through making better choices, I am still able to enjoy food (including dining out and attending parties) while maintaining a sensible weight.
I will continue to follow the guidelines suggested by Monica as I find that I feel more energetic and much healthier. More importantly, I feel like myself again. I strongly recommend working with Monica – both for the great results but also because she is supportive and encouraging and sets realistic and achievable goals.”
Lindsey Siddall
Participant to the “14 Days to Thrive Cleanse”
The cleanse was surprisingly easy to follow. I enjoyed eating all the healthy foods, the recipes were easy to prepare and very tasty. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the vegan week. I feel the course was put together extremely well as I often feel overwhelmed with all the health advice we see online. Monica instructions were concise and easy to follow and by understanding the reason for each choice, it made it easier to follow. I will certainly attend more of these in the future.
Thank you so much Monica.

Having Monica’s expertise available to answer questions on a daily basis was also very helpful and she has an endless library of practical tips and alternative suggestions if something isn’t quite working for you.
The structure of the programme was also a welcome break from having to think about what-to-eat-for-dinner-everyday and the recipes were delicious! Both my husband and I lost 2kg each over a two week period, our energy levels soared and our sleep was much improved!
Thank you Monica!”
Jody, 48
Participant to the Metabolic Reboot Programme
She is a highly educated nutritionist with such passion and care for her clients.
I joined her Metabolic Reboot group program and it was the perfect kick start to a healthier new year. After enduring peri-menopause health issues and stressful life changes it was the antidote I needed.
The three week program is easy to follow with lots of learning, recipes, zoom meetings, and daily check ins. Monica is available to answer questions at anytime and you really do feel cared for.
The best part of this program is the successful outcome and benefits: I no longer had water retention and bloating, I slept more soundly (less nightmares and anxiety), I was less sleepy during the day, more energy overall, less craving for sweets and regular meal times were much more satisfying. I re-learned the enjoyment of simple, clean healthy eating. Although the program is three weeks long Monica equips you to continue afterward and the recipes and learnings help you continue the healthy lifestyle.
Looking forward to working with Monica again in the future.

Sean, 54
Senior Project Manager
It’s fair to say that I didn’t agree with everything Monica suggested at first, but I adopted most recommendations and after a couple of sessions, I started to adopt more of her suggestions, as I could see here guidance was paying off.
After 3 months, I have lost approx. 11kg and feel great about how I feel and look. I am coming to the end of the initial program I agreed with Monica and I am looking forward to moving onto a ‘maintenance’ program to ensure I do not fall into bad habits again.
I found making the changes difficult to begin with, but now I have a new lifestyle and eating plan, which are much healthier and have become easier to follow…who knew there were so many healthy tasty alternatives to sugar based treats!
My friends & colleagues have started to notice my weight loss, which is a great feeling and my wife loves the ‘new me’.
I cannot recommend Monica enough and have suggested to many friends and colleagues that they would benefit from her guidance too.”
Kirsty, 32
Maidenhead, Biomedical Scientist
Monica will spend time analysing your symptoms and then work with you to change your diet. It takes effort to change the way you’ve eaten for years but Monica is very supportive and will help you make the changes. In 2 years I have lost 2.5 stone and maintained this weight, have seen a reduction in hormonal symptoms; which was never achieved with pills, and have a lot more energy. Most importantly I feel healthier and happier with what I’ve been able to achieve, and this is why I want to say thank you to Monica and highly recommend her.”
Lynda, 44
London, PR Director
Not only did I lose a stone healthily in six months, I was also supported through sleep issues, headaches and allergies.
What impressed me most was Monica herself. She is completely dedicated, has an unwavering commitment to her clients (even difficult ones like me) and finds the time and interest to constantly reassure and motivate.
I would recommend her to anyone, and frequently have.”
Lisa, 47
Senior Project Manager
I knew dairy didn’t agree with me and bread left me bloated but I felt addicted to the foods I was eating. I work in central London and the long days coupled with the 3hr/day commute mean I eat out a lot and often on the go. I never thought I’d be able to eat better and return to a healthy weight until I met Monica.
I decided to have the DNA test and Monica recommended I also have a blood test at my GP to check for any other issues. The results were a wake-up call. They highlighted many deficiencies which allowed Monica to develop a bespoke eating / supplement plan for me.
My follow-up appointments, kept me on track as Monica always told me what I needed to hear. Her support was invaluable and she gave me the tools I needed to not only re-balance my body, but respect and love it again too.
When I originally met Monica. I told her I didn’t want to focus on my weight or need another diet and I was frustrated with bingeing and over-eating. Within weeks I could feel the positive changes happening as I felt happier, slept better – felt alive!
I was thrilled to lose 15lbs of fat in 2 months and find healthier eating comes naturally to me now. I know I am on the right path to achieve and more importantly maintain an ideal weight and I can’t thank Monica enough.”
Sara,53
Documentaries Producer
I was worried that the diet advise would be extreme, but it was quite straightforward. Her ideas about exercise found ways of incorporating into daily life, and build up over the weeks. It really was about prioritising yourself and your health, then everyone in your life benefits.
Her advice is always practical and she can see round whatever is blocking you and come up with a workable solution.
At the end of three months I have to say the transformation is incredible. I am sleeping better which is amazing and I’m motivated to keep up exercise and regular meals because I can really see the benefits.
Monica is cheerful, warm and never judgemental. I recommend her very highly.”
Ariana & Johnathan,44
Zurich, HR Director
More recently my daughter and I have been having regular Skype calls with Monica and we are following one of Monica’s tailored programmes and as a result I have now lost 12 kilos.
Monica has a real understanding, empathy, kindness and motivational approach. She has so much knowledge to share and always remains positive and find solutions.
Monica is a fantastic practitioner and remains professional at all times. I would highly recommend her.”
Annabelle, 45
Business Owner
I suffered from constant bloating and constipation but with Monica’s expert help, not only these issues have been resolved, but I also have greater energy and better moods.
I am very pleased with the results and would recommend her highly.”

She takes the time to really understand your life and what you want to achieve and tailors a meal plan that will fit into how you live. You will feel great, have more energy, sleep better and fit into all those clothes again!”
Emanuela, 55
Eton, Language Teacher
My blood pressure was high and I was about to start taking medication, but the plan Monica devised for me meant I was able to lower my blood pressure through diet and lifestyle alone, and I have lost a lot of weight in the process. Today I feel 10 years younger and I have no doubt that this is entirely due to Monica’s experience and encouragement.”

I wasn’t looking for a quick fix but rather some small changes that would benefit my health in the long term and help me to lose weight. Monica arranged for some intolerance tests and took time to understand my life style.
She came up with an easy to follow plan that suited me, and which also incorporated my intolerances. She also recommended some supplements that would benefit my physical and mental health.
To cut a long story short I have lost 1 stone in 3 months and never actually felt deprived or like I was on a diet. Furthermore, my aches and pains have gone away, I don’t get stressed as much and sleep like a baby.
Monica is kind, caring, professional and always there to help you along your journey. I cannot recommend her enough.”
