To me, a health coach is someone who walks beside you, not in front, but right there with you.
I’m here to offer more than just information. I help you create a roadmap that actually fits your life, along with the support and accountability you need to move forward—at your pace, in your way.
I deeply believe that we already hold the answers we’re searching for. Sometimes, we just need a little help accessing them. That’s where coaching comes in—not to fix you, but to help you reconnect with the strength, clarity, and wisdom you already have inside.
My journey into health coaching didn’t begin in a classroom; it began in a clinic room, during long days as an Infertility Nurse Practitioner. I loved my work deeply, but I often found myself wishing for more time, time to sit with women, to really listen, to help them connect the dots between their physical and emotional health. I knew that improving fertility wasn’t just about protocols or prescriptions, it was about the whole person: body, mind, and heart.
The turning point came during my own health transformation. After years of poor eating habits and people-pleasing tendencies that left me physically depleted and emotionally disconnected, someone suggested I start working with a health coach. That coach became instrumental in helping me heal, not just physically, but from the inside out. I realized then that this is the kind of support I wanted to offer women.
That’s when I made the leap—combining my 20+ years as a master’s-prepared nurse practitioner with a new passion: helping women feel stronger, more balanced, and more in control of their health before pregnancy.
Today, I work with women who are overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck in a cycle of dieting, stress, and self-doubt. Women who know that something deeper needs to change, but don’t know where to start. My approach is science-informed and soul-aligned—because you deserve both.
Considering Health Coaching? Start Here.
1) How is a health coach different from a nutritionist or dietitian?
Think of it this way:
A nutritionist can help you create a healthy meal plan. I help you create a healthy relationship with food and your body.
While I don’t prescribe diets or macros, I work closely with trusted nutrition professionals and support many different ways of eating. What I focus on is how you eat—your habits, mindset, and the emotional drivers behind your choices.
Because let’s be honest, most women know what to eat. The struggle is in consistently doing it without guilt, burnout, or obsession. That’s where coaching comes in.
2) How many sessions will I need?
Change doesn’t happen overnight—and that’s okay. Research shows it takes about 66 days to form a new habit, which is why most of my clients schedule between 9–12 sessions.
That said, many women feel more hopeful and energized after just one session. We’ll go at your pace. This is a judgment-free zone.
3) I’ve tried everything—why would this be any different?
I hear this all the time.
You’ve likely tried diets, joined fitness programs, or met with specialists. You may have followed plans perfectly, and still not gotten the results you hoped for.
Here’s what’s different:
Coaching helps you go deeper. Together, we uncover the root causes of resistance—whether it’s hormone imbalances, perfectionism, shame, or stress. Then we create small, realistic goals that add up to lasting change.
No extreme overhauls. No punishment. Just progress that feels good in your body and soul.
4) What makes your coaching approach unique?
I bring a deeply personal and professional understanding of fertility and hormone health. As a long-time infertility nurse practitioner, I understand how complex the pregnancy journey can be, especially when weight struggles, PCOS, or insulin resistance cloud it.
I also understand how emotional that journey is.
Here’s what I offer that many coaches can’t:
- A deep, evidence-based knowledge of reproductive endocrinology
- An integrative lens—bridging body systems, lifestyle habits, and emotional wellness
- Lived experience with the very struggles many of my clients face
I’m not here to sell you a meal plan or a mindset mantra. I’m here to walk beside you as you rewrite your story—from survival mode to sustainable health.
Still feeling unsure?
That’s okay. You’re not alone in wondering, “Will this actually work for me?”
Many of my clients have felt the same way, at first. That’s why I let their words speak for themselves. Below, you’ll find emails and stories from women who once felt stuck, too… and are now walking into their lives with more clarity, confidence, and hope.
Still have questions or doubts? I understand! Most people interested in health coaching want to know that it ‘works’ before making a financial investment. As a result, I like to allow others to ‘do the talking’ for me. Below are some emails that I have received from my clients:
“It was wonderful ‘meeting’ you yesterday. I really got so much out of our session, especially a new breathing technique and learning how to reframe my emotional responses to stress. I already spent 5 minutes meditating and doing deep breathing this morning.”
Ally K., Danbury, CT.
“I didn’t know what to expect when I signed up for health coaching, but I knew I needed something and I was willing to try anything. I have struggled with my weight since having babies and have yoyo dieted and tried just about everything. Some things work, most do not. What I LOVE about the health coaching is not focusing on or forcing an unattainable quick fix. Monica looks at your whole self and gives tips that are specific to your struggles and individualizes what can make a positive difference in your life. I particularly like how instead of focusing on things you need to take away to be healthy, she works towards things you can add to your life to gain health and wellness.”

“I’m in my late 30s and preparing to get pregnant for the first time. Thanks to Monica Moore, I am successfully beating PCOS. I was first diagnosed with PCOS over 20 years ago and have seen various doctors and specialists for it. Unfortunately, none of their treatments or methods have worked. They explained very little about this condition to me. Most of their treatment recommendations were based on weight-loss, not PCOS, and I had no results. I’ve also tried every diet imaginable, fasting diets, carb-free diets, dairy-free diets, low-fat diets, vegetarian diets and liquid diets. Absolutely none of them worked, and I always gained the weight back, until now.”
“I all but gave up on losing weight, getting a period again and having children…until last year, when I went to my amazing new fertility clinic, and I spoke with Monica Moore. She is a nurse practitioner and health coach who specializes in fertility and helping women with PCOS way beyond a typical office visit. Her sessions are more than just nutritional counseling or physical training. And she doesn’t do diets. She is legit.“
