Testimonials.

Teaching Yoga & Fitness Classes can become repetitive, monotonous and tedious, however when Mona enters the Studio, she livens the space up and gives you motivation to continue training. Mona keeps everyone moving, not matter the pace.
Mona is very personable and knowledgeable. Despite having multiple certifications, she operates from a place of humility and kindness. If she does not know something, she checks with other trainers or health service providers that she knows and updates everyone. Her cheerful attitude makes the practice time go quickly. She makes her classes accessible to all levels. Mona has been an inspiration to many clients at the studio. She is always cheerful and while she pushes hard to get the clients to their goals, the sincerity and dedication from the clients have also shown amazing results because of her encouragement. Mona is professional yet kind, patient and understanding. Extremely respectful of Studio Management and Clients, her time management, focus and drive to constantly better herself or her routines are truly commendable. Mona has the capacity of changing things up, making the workouts interesting as well as challenging using new and varied techniques along with different types of fitness equipment in her classes. She is always openly seeking feedback to better herself and her offerings to our clients. We all at the studio absolutely love her.

Mona is my favorite trainer with all the energy and confidence. She always encourages people and make us feel so much energized and refreshed after working out with her. One of the part I love with her would be the calm part after the workout, the words she was saying are so inspired and make you feel so much appreciated your life and yourself! It’s totally a refresh from the body to the inner side! We all love her so much!!

Mona has many members of all ages and skill levels and each one has responded well to her enthusiastic teaching style. She is constantly pushing herself as well as her members to work towards better form and greater overall fitness. She is teaching me what it is like to appreciate the small things in life and staying positive and learn to be grateful.
It is this type of innovation and drive to better her surroundings that I believe makes Mona an excellent addition to my studio team. In addition to being a talented yoga instructor and consultant, Mona’s positive attitude and cooperative spirit make her an excellent instructor.

I’ve been taking Mona’s classes at Oxygen Yoga Fitness and can honestly say that she is one of my favourite instructors. She’s highly versed in all areas of fitness, offering classes from box fushion, yoga, HIIT, strength and cardio, so it makes it fun trying out new workouts knowing that Mona will be the instructor for our class. Mona makes every class enjoyable, she’s incredibly motivating and encouraging and pushes us to do our best. Mona’s classes are challenging, but in the best way. I always leave feeling better then when I came in. Depending on your skill level, Mona offers different poses and exercise variations, but challenges her students to push themselves in each class. I’m starting to see real results through Mona’s classes, I’ve become much stronger in my physique and have built a lot more confidence in myself. Mona is truly passionate about her teaching and has even offered to stay after class to give me stretching tips on problem areas. Not only is she a fantastic fitness instructor, but she’s also a true gem of a human. She’s kind, compassionate and cares about each and every person that crosses her path. I’m truly blessed to have an instructor like Mona in my life, as she’s pushed me to be the best version of myself through her practices. Thank you Mona!

I would like to take this opportunity to review my experience and journey with Mona, yoga and fitness instructor. She brings a very calm and soothing energy to the session making all her clients feel welcomed, cared for and safe. In her sessions Mona makes sure that she provides adaptations to support your journey either making it harder to help you push past your limits or softer to support your needs for that day. Her calming voice and gentle way of telling you about each session makes the members feel valued.
Moreover, the variety of exercises certainly help in achieving your individual health goals. My daughter and I had the opportunity to have some individualized sessions with Mona. It was very comforting and empowering as she checks in to see how you are feeling post sessions as well as what specific goals you would like to achieve. Thus, providing us with sessions that are catered to our needs while being sensitive to our injuries or limitations.
On behalf of my daughter and I, we would like to highly recommend going to Mona’s yoga and fitness sessions and enjoying them.

What can I say about Mona? Well, she has been such a well-rounded form of support for me throughout my time in building an environment of self-care around me. Not only did she accommodate coming to my apartment for workouts, she was also able to accommodate my financial constraints. We chatted on the phone and clicked. She stated that she loved what I stood for (I am a Social Worker) and wanted to “spark joy” for me any way she could. As we got to know one another, I realized that she was much more than just my trainer, she had become a bit of a life coach as well; constantly encouraging me and listening to my “problems.” Mona has a way of making you feel like everything is happening as planned and while we figure things out, we should be nourishing our mind, body and soul. She adjusted her workouts to meet my needs as well as catering to the things she noticed that I enjoyed. We meet once a week, and then she will give me 3 workouts to do on my own at home. Eventually, I did a workout at her place that involved boxing and I realized I had a love for it, so we scrapped the other stuff and focused on learning while getting a big sweat on! Not only did Mona go above and beyond with planning my workouts, but she has a beautiful habit of checking in. Whether that be physically “Hey, how’s the body feeling after yesterday?” or mentally “Hey, I can tell that you’re off today, you want to just punch it out?” She has a special way of knowing how you feel without you needing to say a word. I give Mona 6/5 stars because of the above and beyond work she puts into her client relationships. Simply, the best!

I have taken numerous yoga classes from Mona. I can honestly say she is a bright light in this world. She is an exemplary example of professionalism; her teachings exude soul and dedication to provide a transformative experience. I leave her class feeling loved, strong and relaxed. I highly recommend her.

My wife and I dedicated a month with Mona for fitness training and nutrition.
I already like going to the gym but my wife did not. Since we both wanted a healthier version of ourselves while doing something we can both enjoy together, we knew we needed a personal trainer to help us. Little did we know that Mona is so much more than a personal trainer. She is an awesome nutrition coach, life coach and now a friend.
From our first encounter, Mona already exuded competence and passion. We started with a nutrition assessment and had 2 personal training sessions per week. Mona pinpointed that despite my wife eating salads and greens, she did not consume enough macros which is why she would have bad food cravings plus selective hunger for ice cream during her monthlies. Long story short, thanks to Mona my wife and I are more knowledgable about our nutrition. My wife now would have a protein smoothie with collagen everyday and her food cravings have significantly decreased. During our personal training sessions, Mona was kind and gentle in her approach but also firm enough when we needed it. She reminded us to listen and to be kind to our bodies. She has an excellent ability to listen and meet you where you are but best of all, she is a remarkable teacher. I have never done a burpee before and I’m not good with timing and coordination. She can guide you to perform complex movements by breaking it down so you can do it and feel confident about your abilities. We even enjoyed learning boxing and now my wife and I go to the gym together!
We learned so much from Mona. She definitely opened our eyes and made us realize that in whatever we do, we should have fun and of course, listen to new music! Mona, we can’t thank you enough for what you had imparted to us. You made our July sweaty and memorable.

I struggle daily with the negative inner dialogue that’s been so deeply woven into my life. Counselling has been pretty constant throughout my years but I’ve always been disappointed with the lack of tools given to cope and/or move forward in life. So, I decided to try a life coach…
I found Mona while searching the internet and was really drawn to her bio and how she believes that even if we are experiencing pain or self doubt, we can use certain tools (like meditation and exercises to explore our past) to help learn how to be present and happy with who we are in that moment.
Mona has a natural ability to meet you where you are and communicate effectively and productively. She comes from a place of no judgement and makes you feel comfortable right away.
The longer we spoke, the more we brought to light what my true core beliefs were and what areas of myself needed more awareness and love. Plus, she is hilarious to top it all off. I have never received such kindness and attentiveness in any type of guidance until now.

Mona is wonderful – I am so pleased with my decision to hire her as my trainer. I haven’t been exercising for a long time and was nervous at the beginning. Mona is kind, encouraging and cheerful. From the very first session, I felt very comfortable and motivated. Knowledgeable and attentive, Mona tailors every session to my personal needs and takes in consideration my previous injury. Mona employs a wide variety of technics combined with a good understanding of nutrition based on personal experiences. She provides a nice combination of weight training and yoga that allows me to build muscles and increase flexibility. As a result, I feel invigorated and energetic. I highly recommend Mona as a personal trainer.

Mona Sarghie took on a comprehensive editing project for me and delivered editorial excellence! I was very impressed with her eye for detail and her way with words. She demonstrated precision, clarity, and depth in literature, spelling, and grammar. Mona was able to recognize when I repeated myself throughout the entire brief and corrected any inconsistencies, improving on what was written and suggesting ways it could be more aligned with its intended audience. I highly recommend Mona as an editor for any paper, book, website etc. as she does not disappoint! Thank you Mona for exceeding my expectations and delivering fantastic results.

Mona is skilled, driven and passionate about the work she does. She excels in effective communication, critical thinking and creating problem solving. Head Start has its client’s best interest at heart and is completely invested in their success as an outcome.

Working with Head Start Consulting has been like hiring a passionate life coach for my business. In my discussions with Mona, she brings curiosity to the table as well as an empathetic understanding for the goals I hadn’t yet been able to achieve. Her lack of judgement helped me to reframe my experiences and create the outcomes for my business that I truly desired.

When an employee has an issue, the entire company has an issue. Mona was able to help me put strategies in place so that my sub-ordinates can feel confident when coming to me with a difficulty they are facing as I know that I’ll have the resources to help us find the right solution. Now when my others hear me say that I have an open-door policy, because of Head Start Consulting, they know I really mean it. Head Start Consulting has had immense value added to my organization.

Working with Mona so far has been such a liberating and encouraging experience.
She has given me the confidence and knowledge I need in order to start growing my business, figure out the logistics, and what angle to approach it with.
I’ve loved how much she values my thoughts and feelings, and is constantly making sure I am aware that she is here to encourage and inspire, not to pressure or sway.

Together, Mona truly and wholeheartedly has convinced me that we can accomplish anything, and with that kind of confidence and expertise… you really can 🙂

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mona for over four years now, both personally and professionally. She is an amazing business woman and mentor and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing business consultations.

I have worked with many professionals throughout my journey, but Mona is a unique one to work with. I started my work journey with her, and she helped me understand the company’s internal process. Her work ethics are pristine, and she is easily adjustable to any given situation. Her ability to go out of his way to help others has made her stand out. She is one of the most dedicated professionals I’ve worked with and is willing to put that extra help whenever you need it. Her expertise is considerable, and it helped our company come up with more efficient solutions on different projects. Her contribution is valuable, and I highly recommend Mona. I look forward to working with her again.

Mona can naturally see the big picture of what is missing in your business. She doesn’t separate the person or people from the business and this allows her to find solutions that will be profoundly transformational, efficient and sustainable. She knows how to build a solid foundation by asking thoughtful and brilliant questions that challenge the client to consider their own “why”. She helps you find your originality and what makes you the best in your field, she doesn’t fabricate it- she helps you find it. She is empowering, funny, efficient and highly intelligent in all ways. There aren’t many times I like picking up my phone, but when Mona calls- I am always excited and if she leaves a voicemail, I will always listen- maybe only a few of you will understand how unique this is, and for those who do- that is how much I like having Mona be a part of my business transformation.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Mona during my school consulting program, and I was particularly impressed by Mona’s enthusiasm in consulting and coaching. And of course, her excellent consulting skills will be a seamless add to any projects. I highly recommend Mona if you need any business advice!!

I am an independent contractor who was hired by Mona for a project she is working on. I really enjoy working with Mona! Her commitment is genuine and personal. Positive encouragement and attention to detail seems to come so naturally for her and are great assets! I am very grateful to have met such a wonderful human being.

I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to apply personal expertise and new learnings from the MBA on a live case. Mona sets up the challenge with a well written case file portraying the client and the questions they are looking an answer for. The experience allows for new graduate MBA students, interested in consulting, to test and develop the skills and critical thinking necessary for the role. This all leads to an early exercise in which the learnings from the case, combined with Mona’s thorough and personal feedback, sets us up for success!

Mona is the best! She is a pleasure to work with and always delivers to an exceptionally high standard. She’s completely with us every step of the way. Her knowledge and skills are very impressive. Huge endorsement for anyone who’s considering working with Mona.

It is with great pleasure to share my experience with Mona Sarghie in supporting the launch of my company as Head Start worked with me on a special project that will create a milestone within my industry. She exhibited such enthusiasm and passion for the project that she went above and beyond my expectations. Mona was prompt in delivering all deadlines. On the writing side, Mona was extraordinary in her choice of vocabulary which gave the project more value than I had ever imagined. Her highly specialized skills and experience has aided in opening up more opportunities that I wasn’t even aware of. This experience with Mona has kindled a collaboration of exciting future projects.

Mona is an exceptional and inspiring human being alongside being an expert in her field. She is a non-conformist in all avenues of life and extremely passionate about the work she does. She is the kind of leader who leads by example and walks the talk. Mona makes it super easy to come up with possible solutions to tackle difficult business situations. Diligence, reliability and business acumen are core competencies that I have seen Mona exhibit. Her soft and respectful demeanor made it easy for me to work with her and I have been lucky to have had the opportunity to engage her expertise.

Mona has a wealth of knowledge to share! She is very passionate about helping Delta businesses thrive and we’re so pleased to have her as a member and a volunteer facilitator for our new business accelerator program course.

Mona was my coach and mentor as I created and delivered a consulting assignment for a luxury wellness client. During this process, she guided me to communicate my recommendations in a way that was both clear and easily understood by our client and helped me understand critical principles that lead to a productive client relationship. Based on that, I now feel I’m more able to develop and share recommendations that can be adopted by clients and solve their problems. It was clear to me throughout that Mona took great joy in the consulting and coaching process.

Mona Sarghie’s 2-hour presentation on pricing and valuation in the consulting industry was comprehensive and revelatory.
From the sleek and engaging slide deck, the pacing and content, to the way she effortlessly fielded any and all questions from the many attendees, Ms. Sarghie was a consummate professional and left a profound impression.

Mona is one of the most talented and hardworking people I know. With an incredible keen eye for detail and determination that leaves me speechless. I am honored and incredibly greatful to work with her, train with her and have her as a friend.
