Raised around the table.

The second youngest of five girls, Monique grew up in a home where food, weight and health were often part of the conversation.

She has spent her career looking for a way to support health without restricting and missing out. Her work now focuses on the practical things that make food easier to use: a rhythm for the day, a plan for the week and a way back after life changes.

She is a person before she is a dietitian. That is why food here includes family meals, travel, celebrations and enjoyment as well as nutrition.

Twenty years of appointments. One app.

Monique wanted to take the method beyond appointments without losing its practical, human quality.

She leads the clinical method, food education and guidance. Stacey Key leads development, translation and scale. They co-founded meforme™ together, bringing Monique’s clinical experience into a digital program designed for everyday use.

A personalised nutrition program, built around The Monique Method™ and delivered through the meforme™ app.

Why I became a dietitianFive sisters, one dinner table

Twenty years. Now, out loud.

For most of her career this conversation happened one chair at a time. Monique now has it on podcasts, on stage and on the page because many people can use practical food guidance before they book an appointment.
