Meet Monica
Hi! Let me begin by telling you about my passions in life. Travelling, enjoying nature, riding my horse, cultivating culinary creations, and surrounding myself with warm hearted friends and family. Travelling has given me a chance to meet lovely people from different nationalities, insight into their culture, and view beautiful landscapes! These experiences have shaped my philosophy and practice.

Philosophy
My philosophy and practice have been centered on wellness.
Cultivating a healthy mind, body, and spirit. In my view,
the key to achieving wellness is threefold
through acceptance, personal growth, and fulfillment.
Acceptance
One of the most fundamental
human desires is to feel accepted.
We want to feel good about ourselves and feel valued amongst family, friends, and colleagues.
Personal Growth
Personal growth is the continual effort to improve oneself, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and morally.
Fulfillment
Fulfillment occurs by discovering your best character traits and incorporating them into your work, friendships, family, and hobbies.
In my practice, I will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses,
help you enhance your self-compassion and help you become your authentic self.
“Those who have a strong sense of love and belonging have the courage to be imperfect.”
