My name is Mona Green and I've been waiting for you.
I am a life coach and artist defined by my curiosity and my deep desire to help others self-realize and become more intentional and joyful contributors to society. For this reason, after almost a decade working in different industries from tech, entertainment and finance, to food manufacturing and the World Bank, I founded Namasme nine years ago after receiving my coaching certification.
Working at the intersection of personal development, service as activism, and art, Namasme isn’t a traditional coaching company; it was created to serve those who are ready to move on from mindlessly being in the grind and who want to start living life on purpose in purpose. For those who want to be active participants in creating a better, kinder future, not just for themselves but also their communities and the world at large. Our coaching process reflects that.
From former Olympic athletes, Hollywood entertainers and European royalty, Navajo Youth and environmental activists in Latin America, I’ve worked with people from diverse backgrounds and from all walks of life. As a certified Life Coach, ELI-MP, Death Doula, and Neuro-linguistic Programing practitioner I complement my coaching practice with an open mind, sharp intuition, a no BS attitude, and a true passion for personal development.
As a speaker, I’ve had the opportunity to speak for audiences like the US House of Representatives, Harvard, and the US Department of State among others and have been featured in publications the likes of The Washington Post and Teen Vogue. I was also selected by the Obama Administration as a leading change maker in the fight towards gender equality in 2016 and as an inspirational speaker for an event hosted by Airbnb and the office of the President of Colombia.
As you peruse the rest of this site you will also notice that I believe that personal development shouldn’t be a luxury and have designed my coaching practice accordingly - providing multiple access points to my offerings so that anybody seeking help can find a way of working with me.
On a more personal front, I’ve had the blessing of calling 10 different countries home and speak 4 languages and currently reside in Los Angeles where I’m working on expanding my speaking practice and writing/recording new album.
One more thing...
If we work together, I want you to know that I'm not a traditional coach. I don't lead a particularly conventional lifestyle, I understand and speak ‘corporate’ well but I'm a highly creative, desperately musical, intrinsically entrepreneurial, out of the box, and get in your face if I need to kind of gal. With me, you will experience no bullshit and most importantly, no judgment.
Working with me is fun. Working with me is eye-opening and challenging. Most of all, working with me is worth it.

Top 10 Facts About Me You Should Know if We're Going to Work Together...
I identify as an entrepreneur and artist. I’m what my friends call a pragmatic hippie—successful, business minded, yet incredibly sensitive, creative, and empathetic.
I’ve been everything from driver, pharmaceutical rep, published author, marketing director, investor, and CEO to professional singer and successful prime time tv personality/producer. Because of this, I can probably understand and relate to at least a part of what you’re going through at work.
I’ve had the blessing of calling 10 different countries my home and have traveled in all continents except Antarctica. I think that travel is the best education because it exposes you to points of view that may be totally different than yours but are just as valid. I speak 4 languages (English, Spanish, Italian, and French) and have happy clients all over the world.
I am a born student and believe you should never stop looking for opportunities to learn. I am a professional coach but am always on the lookout for ways to improve my skills and continue my personal and professional development.
I've dealt with loss and know how it can change everything. I lost my father to Alzheimer's disease 6 years ago and am still processing what it means and how it affects me every day.
I’ve made just about every mistake in the book. SERIOUSLY. Thankfully, mistakes are wonderful teachers. The most important lesson I learned? As your own self-awareness grows, your judgment of others slows. I will never judge you for your mistakes, I will help you learn the lessons they bring.
I have three names: Jenniffer, Mona, and Nena. One is my legal name, one is what my friends call me, and the third is the one that I use for my artistic ventures. (more on that below)
I read. A LOT. That means that I can recommend other points of view to help guide you in your journey if you're into reading too.
I am a hopeless romantic and master flash-mob producer and participant. In my book, love rules all and should be celebrated. Don’t believe me? Check out some of my previous television work!
I too feel stuck sometimes. To gain some perspective, I have a coach myself and am lucky to have a network of peers to help in virtually any field. If we do a session and don’t vibe well, I’ll be happy to refer you to someone else. The point of you being here is that you get the help that you need, regardless of where it comes from!
