She comes from the world of love, relentless in her efforts who has a unique personality rarely found but not covered in personality books.
She is Monica Siemsen, a woman with repertoire of unique skills yet rare to find. Her specialisation is not limited but dedicated to health and wellbeing.
I have had the pleasure of engaging her services provided through Chocolate Frog Diet in early 2011 for personal health and wellbeing.
Monica’s persistence, follow-up & service levels are second to none. Her expert knowledge in her field and ability to support me to achieve my goals in my job and personal life was outstanding. I recommend Monica wholeheartedly to anyone and/or organization that is sincerely committed and looking to achieve a true and valuable result in work and personal life.
Thank you for your excellent support and for such valuable experience.

Thank you so much Shahid for your lovely words. I absolutely love what I do and most of all I care for my clients (who mostly all turn into my friends) in every part of their lives. I do not believe in just talking about one subject, be it weight loss, fitness, work or home issues because we are a complex blend of many issues that need to be sorted. My joy is when you understand the "Why" in what is happening in your life. I loved sharing your journey with you and I am so proud of all you have achieved. You are an amazing person who has travelled a very hard road to get to where you are and you still have the ability to have empathy, sympathy and a love for your fellow human beings. Well done to you I look forward to our next conversation so lets make it soon.

Monica is an exceptional person. Her service is second to none. Monica has given me much needed training and advice with Management training. Without her constant support and guidance I would not have felt confident to manage a team and business. Monica taught me how to deal with challenging situations. Now I am very confident in my abilities thanks to her. I have also engaged in personal development with Monica. That has been awesome. Highly recommend this for any business. There were weaknesses in our work place, so Monica worked with myself other team members and our boss. Everyone is a team player now and we have a harmonious working environment. I am also doing the weight loss side with Monica. While I do have my ups and down, I never feel like I am being judged. Monica gives me realistic goals, real food to eat, and all the information I need in my weight loss journey. I can't honestly thank Monica enough for all she has done and is doing for me both personally and professionally. She truly is one in a million.

Thank you Leanne we certainly take on the world together don't we? Between management training and weight loss we have to speak fast some weeks to fit it all in. "hehehe" You need to be really proud of yourself, the changes you have made both personally and professionally would have challenged a lesser person. You continue to amaze me every week with the growth you have. I love my Wednesday afternoon sessions with you and look forward to many more.

I have been Monica's client for many years and during that time she has become a special friend and saviour. She is a very caring and knowledgeable person who has supported me wholly and solely through life's challenges as well as weight management and she has given me the tools to live a healthy life.
I would not hesitate to recommend Monica to anyone who is struggling with health issues, emotionally or physically.

Thank you Margaret. We have been around the world emotionally together but I am so proud of the person you have become. You are an amazing person who deserves everything good and I count myself extremely lucky to call you my friend.

Monica is amazing, so supportive, approachable, knowledgeable and patient. Monica supported me through my weight loss journey for my wedding and healthy eating during my pregnancy, I won't go anywhere else.

Thank you Ashlea. It has been a pleasure to share this journey with you. The highlight was when you welcomed your very cute and very handsome son Nathan into the world. I just love me job :)

I was looking for a weight loss program when I met Monica and she explained her concept of weight loss to me. At first I thought it was too good to be true and as I was working shift work in a kitchen at the time I found it so hard to not pick all the time.
I loved the idea that the person looking after me had had a weight problem and knew how I felt so I thought why not give it a go what did I have to lose.
That was back in October 2008. This program has literally changed my life not only have I lost 25kg in that time but I now work with Monica helping her change other people’s lives for the better.
I now love coming to work every day and feel so good about myself which is worth everything to me.
Saying thank you just doesn’t seem enough for the difference Monica and her program have made to my life.

Thank you Cheryl not only were you a client then an employee but like many others we then became friends. To have you coming to work every day meant that my business was taken care of and best of all you took such good care of me. When I changed direction and worked for the Sydney firm for a few years we went our separate ways and I can assure you that I have never missed anyone as much as I missed you. I love that we have reconnected now. See you at 5.30am for our walk.

I love the Chocolate Frog Diet so much that I have now gone back on the program and I am loving it as much as I did before. If anyone is looking to lose weight they need to contact Monica. I am feeling so much better in the last 3 weeks since returning to the Chocolate Frog Diet. Again thank you Monica for your support and friendship.

Hi, my name is Leah. I’ve followed Monica’s business since its conception; and for a long time thought it was just too good to be true; at the same time blind to the successes I kept seeing. One day Monica told me that she couldn’t watch any longer; if I didn’t wake up to myself and do something about my weight she couldn’t stand by and watch. Monica didn’t care if I did her program or some other one but just do something and stop killing myself slowly.
Well I can tell you that really hurt; how could she say such a thing! After my initial hurt there was anger and thought ‘fine see if I care’. That Monica, she’s a crafty one, didn’t take me long to recognise that wake up call.
I started the program soon after; I cannot believe just how easy it is and kick myself for not joining earlier, but as they say, better late than never. I’d yo-yo dieted for so long I swear I have permanent whiplash!
I know exactly where you’re at while you’re reading this because I’ve been there and in some ways still there. No matter how much weight I lose on this program I’ll always know and understand much more than those in this business who’ve never struggled with weight in their lives and are just doing ‘a job’.
I had a goal, it was to lose 20kg before going on my cruise. I’m not ashamed to say I didn’t make that goal. I came darn close though with an 18kg lose and still went on my cruise! I’ve had ups and downs which is ok because they are part of life. Monica doesn’t put you down; doesn’t make you feel worthless but she will expect you to accept and acknowledge where you went wrong and fix it.
A few months after my cruise I fell ill; was on high doses of Penicillin and Prednisone for about 8weeks. I was angry; disillusioned and depressed when I realised after all my hard work I’d put on 15 of those 18kg by the time I went off the medication. I spent the next 14 months sulking (as you do!) then kicked myself up the tushy and started again.
I was over 106kg when I started the program (the first time :}) and am now a smidgen away from 82kg or was a size 22/24 and now, depending of the style/cut, a 14/16. My ultimate goal weight is 75kg ~ not long now. Once I’m there I’ll reassess things and decide if I maintain that or lose another 5kg.
Thank you Monica for caring not only about me but for me.

Thank you Leah your ability to bounce back from whatever life throws at you is amazing to watch. I never have and never will judge anyone for where they are in life after all I was fat for over 20 years before I worked this program out. Real food for real people and best of all never being hungry. I think its time for a catch up and a coffee.

My name is Melina, I’m 23 years old from Brisbane, Queensland and I beg you to READ MY STORY.
For 22 years I have struggled with eczema, the kind that when you first wake up in the morning and stretch means an instant flinch back to the position you woke up in because you’ve just split open all the wounds behind your legs or in the folds of your arms. For 3 years I struggled with psoriasis so bad that I had to quit my job, crawl on my hands and knees around the house because my feet were so badly covered in psoriasis that putting any pressure on them to walk meant immediate splitting of my heals, my soles and toes. The pain was so bad I would crawl into my parents room just to sit on the floor and cry.
I saw how my pain affected my parents and they have tried everything over the short 23 years of my life to make me better. Add to that a weight gain of 30kilos due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, along with all the other ‘fun’ symptoms associated with POS, and a 3 year undiagnosed battle of Clostridium Difficile.
By the age of 22 I was not only ready, but looking forward to my death. Every single night before going to bed, I prayed and I prayed for over a year that somehow someway my pain, suffering and sickness would be taken away. So many things going wrong, so many doctors with no answers, or just the usual “you’ll grow out of it, try this medicine” which never helped.
I was finally referred by my doctor to see a specialist from the Dermalogical department at the hospital, when he saw me limping into the medical centre and saw the puss, blood and ooze from my feet. I was so excited, I had waited 3 years just to get on the waiting list. Once there, I had a different specialist every visit, which would spend 10 minutes of my 15 minutes appointment just reviewing my case. Different doctors, same results nothing was working. They even prescribed me a cream that was like rubbing metholated spirits into my open wounds and when I mentioned how much it hurt and how after just seconds of applying it my feet were red raw swollen and puffing up he looked me dead in the eye and said, “yeah that’s normal keep using it and you’ll get used to it”!!!! I was asked if I had considered having children. I thought that was a very strange question. I was offered a tablet form medication that would treat my psoriasis but had a vast array of side effects including infertility! If I wanted to start that medication, I would not be able to have children.
On November 14th 2010 I was diagnosed with Clostridium Difficile after going to my GP with more than the usual amount of blood in my stool with the presence of mucus sacks the size of plums. He phoned the H.O.D. Gastrointestinal specialist at the RBH and whilst on speaker phone said I needed to be tested for x,y,z, my doctor looked at me and said, “Oh I didn’t think of that”.
For 3 years I was not only seeing my doctor on a weekly basis for psoriasis but also because every time I went number 2’s on the loo, the bowl was bright red with blood. After the blood test came back positive, I was prescribed antibiotics with a 33% chance of success. If that medicine failed, I was on standby to be quarantined and given a drip fed straight steroid treatment with a 47% success rate, should that fail, well my GP said maybe I should get my parents down and start organizing things.
So here I am, 22 years old being told I could potentially die, covered in eczema, 30kilos overweight, skipping menstrual cycles, hardly able to walk, some days only being able to crawl, 20+ trips to the toilet each day and in a total mess.
By an absolute stroke of luck, or touch of fate, my parents heard about this seminar happening in town in celebration of this lady, Mel, a local in Dysart who had lost 40kgs and never been healthier thanks to The Chocolate Frog Diet program. They weren’t sure if they even wanted to go, but both decided why not, “they’re might be something that could help Melina”.
They listened to Monica speak and were completely blown away by her knowledge, the testimonials and the results of the Chocolate Frog Diet. The moment they were won over was when they heard Monica speak about soaking infected feet. I was told by all the specialists to soak my feet for 20 mins minimum with my foot soak medicine, mainly coal tar. Monica mentioned that the feet should only be soaked for 8 minutes because after that they become like a sponge and start drawing back in all the gunk they’ve just expelled.
After the seminar they approached Monica and gave her an account of my struggles and she told them while she may not have all the answers straight away, she would put her all in to finding a solution to fix the problem, not just treat the symptoms.The rest, as they say, is history.
I still remember my first phone call with Monica. The realization of all my problems as I was explaining it to her just made me feel horrible. I didn’t really understand or realize just how much I had been putting up with and how much it had been putting a toll on my wellbeing.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ENTRIE LIFE summer of 2010 I HAD NO EZCEMA. By December of 2010 we had won the battle over c-diff, and by May 2011 my psoriasis was COMPLETELY GONE!!! I walked bare foot on grass for the first time in 3 years and I cried because I was so happy.
To date, I have lost 34kgs, have no eczema, have no psoriasis, regular menstrual cycles, my eyes are clear and sparkle again, oh, and I only go to the bathroom once a day now.
Monica & Cheryl really are angels. I believe that it was a chance meeting with my parents and Monica and I thank god for them everyday.
Monica and Cheryl will help you all they can, research all the information and give you the steps to take, but it is YOU that must make the change. YOU must walk through the door and understand that you are not going to see results of a life time of problems in just a week. You must keep at it and be strong. I make my own jam for crying out loud. What 23 year old do you know who does that?
This program was run entirely online and on the phone. One day I hope to meet Melina in person…maybe we will need a box of tissues that day.

This was the most amazing journey of all in the 12 years I have been running the Chocolate Frog Diet. Melina was so very sick when she first called me a I really was not sure if I would be able to help her. Bit by bit, day by day we sorted things. Melina was told that she would never be able to have children due to the drugs she had taken but I am over the moon to be able to tell you Melina has a very beautiful little boy now called Cooper. I love my job.

My husband works away most of the time in the mines and I am home with all the responsibilities of our two teenage children, my full time job, our home and the dog. It is a lonely life and for many years I used food as a comfort.
I used to work in a childcare centre as a cook so I was surrounded by food all the time.
When I met Monica I was at my lowest and bit by bit Monica has helped me understand why I felt like I did and why I ate food the way I did.
When Monica asked me for a “before” photo I realised I don’t have very many because I would avoid having my photo taken.
It hadn’t always been plain sailing along my journey of losing weight but with the help and support you get at the Chocolate Frog you can reach all your goals. They teach you about the importance of food and its quantities, exercise and your emotional wellbeing.
Where other weight loss programs failed, and with Monica’s persistence through good times and bad, I have lost 30kgs so far. This amazes even me.
I have not finished my journey with the Chocolate frog yet but I know that I will and I know I will never have to feel the way I used to about myself or my life.
The confidence that I have now I owe to Monica and her team at the Chocolate Frog. I had the confidence to quit my job in the kitchen and go for a job I would never have thought I would get. To my amazement I got the job and I love it.
Let me say “Thank You Monica” for giving me back my life.

Sharon I have watched you grow in self confidence throughout your journey and it is so lovely to see. My favourite photo as you know is the one of you in that red dress you wore to your Christmas party that year. You were so excited and it showed and it will be in my memory bank forever. Thank you for inviting me to share this journey with you.

I started seeing Monica mainly as a support network for my wife and was so pleased when I started seeing results for myself. Not only weight loss Monica has helped me with work situations and given me solutions on how to overcome work related battles. I would highly recommend Monica and both her weight loss and training programs to anyone I meet
Seeing the smile on my wife’s face when she walks out of Monica’s office after seeing her results is priceless and for that I’m so grateful, plus it is fun.

Thanks Aaron it has been a pleasure to share this journey with you both. To see the love you two share is wonderful. The support you give each other is a rare and beautiful thing to see and I wish there was more of that in this world.
