One ethos, two pathways
Crafting a healing story for People & Planet.
Offering Functional Medicine for individuals, schools, corporations and Population Health Consulting for organisations, governments and donors.
Whether you're seeking a compassionate, skilled practitioner to support you to heal your chronic symptoms and reconnect with your vitality — or you are part of an organisation designing or funding programmes that respond to the population and planetary health crisis - you’ve arrived in the right place.
Healing at the Root; transforming personal and community health by addressing root causes and restoring balance. Kenya-based, globally connected.
Wellsense exists to help individuals heal from chronic symptoms, and regain their energy, and to create impactful, bespoke solutions for schools, organisations and businesses, who are at the forefront of population health.
We can no longer simply name it, blame it, and try to tame it—whether in our bodies, our schools, our public health programmes, or our ecosystems.
That’s why I do things differently. I’m a practitioner, a systems-thinker, and a fierce advocate for upstream healing—whether at the level of the individual or the ecosystem. Learn more about Wellsense
My Approach to Healing
Health is not something we fight for; it’s something we restore. Your body is your greatest ally, always seeking balance, always working to heal. Yet, for so many people, illness feels like a battle, a mystery, or worse—a burden they’re told they must simply endure. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Public health
Is no longer just about clinics and disease—it’s about the ecosystems we depend on. Climate change, pollution, and ecological breakdown are already reshaping health outcomes, especially in the most vulnerable regions.
Planetary health
The health of people and the health of the planet are inseparable. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation are reshaping public health—worsening air pollution, fueling disease, threatening food and water security.
My philosophy is simple: healing is possible when we work with nature, not against it—at every scale.
Whether working with individuals navigating autoimmune illness or designing a national health programme, I bring an upstream, systems-based approach—one that honours complexity and interconnection.
With more than 25 years experience in global public health, and primary care, I offer science-backed strategies, and practical tools, combined with functional medicine, nutrition, and a vision towards planetary health. More about my background and approach here.
“Health is not an isolated pursuit—it’s woven into ecosystems, breath, and the land. Monique’s work reminds us that healing people and restoring the planet are two parts of the same story."

Work with me
Together, we look upstream—to the headwaters. We trace what’s been overlooked, clear the debris, and restore flow.
We nourish the roots—those deep, often invisible networks that quietly sustain life. Because just like a river depends on its source, and a tree flourishes only when its roots are strong, true healing —whether in individuals or communities—begins when we stop, listen, and honour interconnection. When we join the dots. When we think in systems, not siloes.
