this is me

I am Monica Moore. I wear many hats, but I'm always a consultant of nourishment and delight. Personally, a more nourishing life is what I'm always trying to cultivate.

How do we live a life that sustains us, fills us up, and supports us when things get hard? Really hard? How do we cope when things get overwhelming? I'm ever curious about finding practices to nourish our heartspace.

I teach, write, move, breathe, sit, and cook. I try to make it simple, because our lives are not. I'm as guilty as anyone of running myself to the bone.

I don't have one huge defining story that created an indelible mark. I have a multitude of vignettes that brought me here. I don't subscribe to the reality show genre, so I won't emphasize the messiness that can sometimes be my life—only enough for relatability. I'm neither train wreck nor saint. I'm perfectly flawed, a work in progress, and that's how I like it.

I love my family and friends. The mountains and the sea. Travel. Food. Cooking. Hiking. Skiing. Learning. Conversations. Stillness. Those quiet moments when I can hear the beating of my heart.

The evolution of my business has always ebbed and flowed with my role as a mother. My children are older now, so I have more time to invest and play.

I have a yoga practice that spans over 35 years. What I know for sure is that when I lose the foundations this practice has given me—whether I'm on the mat or not—my world becomes a little less shiny around the edges. I advocate a framework where we bend with flexible routines rather than habitually break dogmatic rules.

Ever the pragmatist, I take an earthy rather than ethereal approach with my programs, encouraging us all to reconnect with our innate wisdom that often gets lost in the noise of the world. We must pay attention to our life, but we also must find humor in the madness.

I follow the mantra of being "the guide on the side, not the sage on the stage" to support and empower others. I hope you find practices and food to nourish your bodies and words to enrich your souls in these pages.

Thanks for stopping by.
