Monica’s love for fitness started with running. A knee injury forced her to put a pause on running, and it was then she developed a love for strength/resistance training and pursued her personal training certification through NASM. When she found out she was pregnant she quickly realized there weren’t enough resources for pregnant and postpartum women on how to exercise, so she earned a certification in Pregnancy and Postpartum Pelvic Floor and Core Training. During this time she owned an organic, cold pressed juice business on Maui where she lived for many years. She witness firsthand the healing power of nutrition and believes that food can be medicine. Monica decided to sell her business and pursue her M.S. in Nutrition and a Nutrition Coaching Certification to further her knowledge, and be able to help people even more. She is an NASM personal trainer, NASM certified Nutrition Coach, Pelvic Floor and Core Trainer, and holds her M.S. in Nutrition, and is currently preparing for the exam to become a Board Certified Nutritionist.
