A little about me
Hello there, I'm Monica (RN, MSN)
​
I am a compassionate and intuitive psychotherapist with an incredibly curious mind. For the past 4 years I have not stopped studying the fields of trauma therapy, somatic therapy and nervous system health.
​
You see, previously I had been a mental health nurse and was burnt out from witnessing people come in with the same issues time and time again for 20+ years. I did not feel like I was making a difference.
​
Until I came across a new paradigm of understanding how our mind, body and spirit are interconnected and influence not only our psychological health, but the course of our lives. Now? I couldn't be more fulfilled with the transformational work I get to do!
The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.
