Client Testimonials

  • Maternity Leave Decisions

    “Through coaching, I gained clarity around my boundaries, and the support systems I needed during maternity leave and my return to work. Core values gave me self-awareness on how I approach challenges and conflict in my home life.

    I also felt more equipped in having conversations with managers to take family leave days instead of feeling guilty for how I showed up after having a baby. But the best part: I felt much less isolated and more intentional during a major life transition: supported and working with another new mom!”

    (Sonya Patel, MD-OB/Gyn)

  • Mompreneur

    “I had an Enneagram typing and discussion session with Mona. It was one of those conversations that stays with you long after it ends. She met me with such kindness and empathy that I felt at ease right away. Throughout our time together, Mona asked thoughtful questions and guided the discussion with genuine insight. The experience was both meaningful and practical, giving me space to reflect on my self‑awareness, growth, and the way I navigate my personal and professional relationships.

    If you are seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, and the why and how behind the way you move through the world, I wholeheartedly recommend Mona.”

    (Heather G., Gronek Virtual)

  • Consultant, New Dad

    “This work helped me articulate what actually drives my decisions as an entrepreneur and consultant. After becoming a parent, I realized that I had to learn how to prioritize, balance, and create boundaries with my work. As someone who works from home, I needed guidance on separating the spheres of my life.

    However, after working with Mona on my core values and Enneagram type (8wing9), I shifted how I communicated with clients and leaned into my strengths to grow the business. I can now prioritize tasks based on a values system that enables me to do my highest and best work.”

    (Stephen J., MBA - Scramble Systems)

  • Asking for Flexibility in Job

    “When navigating a challenging work season, I felt caught between what I thought I should value — money, productivity, achievement — and the call to more flexibility. Mona’s Core Values exercise was thoughtful, practical, and unexpectedly clarifying. It helped me separate societal expectations from my own internal compass.

    When I stopped organizing my decisions around external judgments, I didn’t lose financial security — I gained it. I ended up earning more than I anticipated and felt more accomplished. I revisit my core values often to ensure I am in alignment, and love that I didn’t need to leave my job to gain flexibility and time for myself. They anchor my work and my home life in a way that feels intentional instead of reactive. Thank you, Mona!” 

    (Priyanka S., MD)

  • Mom of Two Girls, Self-Care

    Working with Mona has been truly transformative. She helped me shift my perspective issues around self-care that had been affecting my everyday life in a powerful way, and that change has made a lasting impact on how I move through the world.

    She has a rare ability to be both incredibly validating and gently challenging in the best way. Her warmth, presence, and insight make you feel completely seen and supported. She is amazing to work with, and I’m so grateful for the clarity and growth I experienced through our time together.

    (Cathy Merrifield, MAI)

  • Mom Freelancing after Pause

    “Before working with Mona, I was feeling stuck with how to manage a freelance job while being the main caregiver to my two girls. Since having kids, I’ve had to work harder at connecting back with the person and career at the forefront of my life and mind.

    In just 1 session, Mona asked targeted questions that addressed my blocks. She was so good at being able to view my situation with fresh perspective, and I remembered my strengths.

    After our session, I had a clear game plan that I am putting into action. I have reached new clients and have plans for upcoming collaborations. It was critical to work through what held me back and reignite my passion for launching my new career.”

    (Kathryn W., Primary Caregiver of 2)

  • The Mental Load

    “Mona is warm, empathetic, and an incredible listener who quickly gets to the heart of what’s holding you back. I came to her feeling the weight of the mental load of parenthood, and the results were transformational.

    Unlike other strategies I’d tried, Mona helped me brainstorm practical steps and guided me through a real emotional shift that anchored my “why.”

    With Mona’s guidance, I’m healing generational patterns and demonstrating to my son that moms deserve to live full, supported, balanced lives.”

    (Lauren B., Director, Actor, and Mom)

I’m Mona.

For over a decade, my career shaped my identity. I built it intentionally and with structure. Achievement could be planned, controlled, and orderly. And then I became a mother, the most beautiful and chaotic transition of my life.

If you’re in the first few years of motherhood, you may feel that shift too. Postpartum is a full-system identity recalibration — physiological, emotional, relational, and professional. You may feel invisible — or like parts of your identity are quietly eroding. The love is immense; so is the upheaval. I work with millennial moms who want happier, integrated lives without sacrificing entire identities. My coaching focuses on:

  • Faster decision-making to reduce overwhelm, mental fatigue, mental load

  • Mitigating shame and guilt around feeding choices, childcare decisions, hiring help, and career decisions

  • Making confident professional and career choices after baby—whether returning, pausing, pivoting

  • Navigating and negotiating difficult workplace conversations with managers and HR; managing childcare discussions with partners and spouses

  • Feeling more present, confident, and genuinely happier in early motherhood

  • Honoring your pre- and post-baby identity without guilt, shame, and fear

Using structured tools like Positive Intelligence and the Enneagram, we identify your stress patterns, clarify your core values, and create practical systems for boundaries and aligned decision-making. The next act awaits.
