President Bio

Monique lives in breathtaking Arizona with her husband, Cocker Spaniel and Himalayan cat. She has two adult daughters who live in Michigan and Arizona. She achieved grandmother status in May 2006. Having relocated from Michigan to Arizona in 2003, Monique says, "Arizona is absolutely paradise!" Monique has many hobbies including competitive bodybuilding, kayaking, hiking, and rock climbing. She is also a published author and a contributor to the anthology Ophelia's Mom. The book captures the hearts and emotions of readers as moms from across the country relate their experiences with troubled teen aged daughters. Monique has been published in both print and online venues and has an interesting collection of online published writings in her writing portfolio.

Monique has over 15 years of business experience in the areas of healthcare, corporate training, teaching, instructional design, management, and IT project management. She has been a certified personal trainer for thirteen years, an executive coach for seven years, and has vast experience in the areas of wellness, fitness and nutrition. Her business management degree is from Davenport University.

Monique owns BodyLife Dynamics, a company founded on the principle of empowering individuals to achieve inner and outer strength. Monique says, "I provide coaching and education to professionals who are ready to buff up their entire life! I integrate the Seven Dimensions of Wellness model to provide my clients with a holistic approach to human development."

Monique saw a need to bridge the gap with her personal training clients who could not stick to their workout program. "I could see that there were other areas in life where they struggled; those were the areas affecting their physical well-being," claims Monique. "I felt an inner calling to work with individuals on a deeper level, in addition to the physical piece. Now, through my company I empower these individuals to build strength from the inside out."

Prior to founding BodyLife Dynamics, Monique worked in the corporate world and provided personal training on the side. When her inner calling hit she knew immediately what she needed to do. Monique explains, "I left my corporate job to be able to use my gifts and talents by helping others in a more direct way. I feel joy and excitement in watching others develop, create boundaries, and love forward in their lives. Since we are all interconnected, my own path becomes clearer as my clients grow."

Monique's gifts and talents not only come from her business experience but also from her diverse personal background. Monique is a multidimensional individual who has risen above her traumatic and tumultuous past. As a survivor of childhood abuse and domestic violence she has healed and learned forgiveness. As a teen and young adult she struggled with addictions, a teen marriage, divorce, and single parenthood. In later adulthood she weathered the challenges of relationship issues, remarriage, and a bipolar daughter. "I have had to face and conquer many fears," says Monique. "My personal struggles have empowered me to reach out to others who need support. I have grown personally, professionally, emotionally, and spiritually and have come to view my experiences as blessings."

Monique uses her company as the vehicle to reach out to others in many ways. She provides public speaking, training and education to groups and organizations across the country. Monique also gives to the community by volunteering her time and resources. She is a community advocate for victims of domestic violence and has worked in the women's shelters, teaching and mentoring. A resource person on mental illness, she has volunteered her personal training services to at-risk youth. By working with local agencies and the media Monique has successfully addressed various topics such as abuse, divorce, wellness, and fitness. She has been involved in community education and the initiation of a crime prevention program. Her writing skills have aided her in the development of curriculum used for community awareness.

Monique is a member of the International Women's Writing Guild, the International Nanocasting Alliance, Women’s ECommerce Association International, Toastmaster's International, and a graduate of Coach University. She is certified through the European Coaching Institute, a member of Coachville, host of a Coach U special interest group, and has a current personal training certification through ISSA.

Rider is also a member of National Association of Women Business Owners, National Contract Management Association, Arizona Society of Performance Improvement, International Public Management Association for Human Resources and the National Association for Government Training and Development.
