NUTRITIONIST -

Be Well Associates
Founder, Monica C. Montag, MA, HHP, CN is a licensed nutritionist, process acupressurist, and certified Holistic Lifestyle teacher. For over ten years she has informed, guided and inspired clients to wholeness of body, mind and spirit.
Ms. Montag looks upon life as an interconnected entity. She pays particular attention to the mind-body connection and the factors that impact health status including emotional, mental, spiritual, environmental, genetic and vocational influences.

In Greek “holos” is the root word for “whole”, “holistic” and “holy.” When the connection between the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual parts of the individual is lost, the experience of “wholeness” is absent. Becoming disconnected from self, community, purpose and spiritual path can lead to “dis-ease” – the physical manifestation of disconnection.

Stress affects both physical and emotional well-being. Scientific evidence increasingly links stress with such common illnesses as colds and flu, depression, high blood pressure, headaches, gastro-intestinal disorders, and so on. In fact, 85% of doctor’s visits are stress related; the majority of those visits are by women.

Whether at on the job, at home, at church or volunteering in the community, the impact of whole health as the foundation for wellness cannot be underestimated. Ms. Montag provides a roadmap for her clients to understand the power of a mind and body in balance and working at full capacity.
