our story

The story of how we got started Monumental Movements

For me, food was always comfort. I had no sense of moderation, nor did I care to learn. I was bullied for my weight in school and coped by consuming more food.

My lack of knowledge on how to fuel my body led me to develop an extremely unhealthy relationship with food. It took me a whole decade to learn how to love and fuel my body exactly how it should be!

Now it is my mission to help individuals learn how to fall in love with the process of becoming the best version of themselves”
