Signing up to work with Monique has been one of the greatest things I have done for myself in my adult years. I think as a working mother it is only normal to become a little relaxed in taking time for your own health and wellbeing, but for me too much of this lead to a pretty massive physical and mental depletion.
Monique has patiently worked with me to help me become a more energetic, healthy and happy version of myself. She has the right balance of flexibility and keeping me on track in a kind, encouraging way with a firm belief that I can and I will do it!
She has taught me a diverse range of nutrition, exercise and mindfulness tools initially with a very guided approach and as I was ready, she maintained support while allowing me to implement these into my life independently. With this approach, I have been able to take the skills and habits I learnt into a life post Mon Richards Coaching.

Working with Monique has been a positively life-changing experience. It was great to work as a team to set goals, and having such great support along the way made those goals achievable. Thanks to Monique I've made huge changes with my diet, and my mindset on nutrition and cooking has completely shifted.
I was really impressed with her wealth of knowledge - on both the practical and theoretical side, and the way she set me up each week armed with new information and resources to help me reach my goals. Thank you Mon for your support, and the time you spent to help me make the positive changes to my life that previously felt overwhelming or too hard.

Monique is an amazing health-coach. With her kind, but steady and consistent guidance, I was able to achieve my goals, which were nourishing my body with healthy food, getting disciplined with exercise, fixing my sleeping patterns and becoming more mindful. Monique did a huge amount of work on setting up the planning for me - which was tailored in accordance to my needs, sharing the knowledge, and being there to support me during challenging moments. Thanks Monique, you’re the best! "

Today I can eat a healthy diet, have more energy and a positive future going forward without the health issues I had before working with Monique, and all her expertise.
I would not hesitate to recommend Monique to help anyone who is finding they need help and guidance with their life. She has a very pleasant and approachable manner and is very well read and educated in diet, women’s health and fitness, and mindset and well-being; and the challenges that are faced in everyday life. Monique will work very hard to research and find the correct answer to your problem. Monique has a beautiful smile that is very contagious and her charming personality puts you at ease.
Thank you Monique for giving me back my life again.

I’ve always struggled with balancing my hormones, and I still do to this day. What I truly appreciated about Mon was that she didn’t just recommend a quick fix or push me onto another specific diet. Instead, she took a realistic approach. She acknowledged that hormone imbalances can be caused by many factors and walked me through various options to help me find what worked best. Together, we figured out the next step I felt comfortable with. For the first time, I felt truly seen and heard, and not alone in my struggles.
