Meet the Business Owner

Monica P.

Business Owner

Monica became interested in nutrition and wellness in 1999 when she noticed the eating habits of her roommate. She then became a Personal Fitness Trainer and distance runner. After several months of this, she realized that many people she worked with were lacking in sound eating habits. Monica enrolled at UCONN to earn a B.S. in Sports Nutrition. She embraced a culture of «extra protein and extra supplements» in order to achieve good health.

In 2007, Monica noticed signs on Autism in her 8-​month old son. She immediately explored Holistic Nutrition, removed all processed foods from her and her son’s diet, and became a vegan family.

Monica pursued a career in Massage Therapy so she could work her own hours around her son’s school and ABA sessions. In 2012, Monica became a Certified Health Coach to tie together her strong nutritional background with massage and Reflexology. She finds this work to be her dream and looks forward to deepening her knowledge in wellness.
