“My passion is to see women step into their gifts, talents and skills to build and grow an impactful business, to be able to give back to causes or communities for whom they feel called to serve.”

Before starting her business, Monica Devanand of Dr Monica D R Coaching & Consulting was a medical practitioner of 13 years and has worked alongside women and children in her work. She sees the value in coaching and mentoring as a means to women getting the support they need.

She also mentors young girls in online programs through The Royal Hood, a mentoring program for pre-teens and teens, as well as run in person workshops.

She is passionate about mums and women being able to build and sustain a lifestyle they wish for themselves to suit their family needs. As Monica has transitioned from a medical career to building a Coaching and Consulting Business of almost 6 years, I love championing women who want to make career changes who often feel unsupported.

Growing a business can be a lonely journey, and after almost six years in business, Monica has joined the HerBusiness Network to continue to grow alongside other women. She loves that the Network is a safe space not just to form connections but also to ask the questions, brainstorm and be amongst inspiring women who have gone before.

When she’s not championing and supporting women in their career changes, you will find Monica reading, playing netball or enjoying a coffee.
