Founded in 2011 by integrative and functional dietitian nutritionist and health coach, Monica Gulisano, RDN, we focus on giving you more meaningful, motivating care around nutrition that’s non-judgmental. We’re not here to make you feel bad about your past habits with food – we’re here to help you find ways to make those relationships more positive and joyful, and in turn, improve your health along the way.
And having spent more than a decade in integrative nutrition, Monica has guided thousands of clients to do exactly that. She has both deep expertise with the underlying evidence-based science of nutrition and “food as medicine,” plus the proven clinical experience to help people move from illness to happier, healthier selves. With this background, Monica is here to deeply listen to you, personalize your support, and help you make that a lasting, mindful transformation in your life. So when you’re not feeling your best, struggling with how to eat, or both, we can help you change those dynamics.
