Essence Nutrition is at the forefront of nutrition in their approach of positive and intuitive eating and making food something fun and enjoyable without the guilt. They really focus on long term lifestyle changes vs quick fix diets and deprivation of certain food. Its a game changer. Highly recommend them!!

Monica and her team are extremely knowledgeable in their field, but I thought what was even more important was that they are practical and attentive to the specific needs I had. Her plans were easy to follow and she really helped me understand what being / eating healthy really means. Highly recommended. Thank you Monica + Team. You guys rock!

I am beyond impressed with Essence Nutrition and its founder, Monica. My sessions and virtual, on-demand services teach me something new about the science behind nutrition every day, and I appreciate the informed, yet non-dogmatic approach to nutrition. The RDs at Essence have the ability to make each client feel like a VIP. I recommend this practice to family and friends allover the US & Europe.

Where do I begin? I had the pleasure of working with Emily who became one of my biggest advocates for ridding my life of all the harm diet culture did to it for years. Her knowledge and resources she bestowed upon me had a huge impact in getting where I am today; being a confident, happy, and INTUITIVE eater. I no longer feel anxiety around food and instead, honor my hunger and fullness cues without feeling guilt or shame. I know this team, especially Emily & Monica, will always be there for me to support me in my journey-something that is truly priceless.
