Work with me
Each person, their stories, their experiences, and their body is unique. While the foundation of my approach remains the same, it presents differently with each person to support their unique circumstance. I utilize tools from my toolbox of education, apprenticeship, experience, and intuition to guide our work together. This is a collaborative experience, my body always receiving information from yours to help me guide us through this journey together.
It is a privilege to walk this path with you.
The key - intentional integration
You will hear me say it over and over again in our time together. Intentional integration is key. What does that mean? That means bringing in the learnings from our sessions into your every day practices. How do we do this? Collaboration. We will come up with accessible and regular practices that you can do on a daily basis to begin to integrate the wisdom that comes through our sessions together.
I want what you learn in session to become a part of you. The best ways for this to happen are 1) by letting these lessons come from your body instead of your mind; and 2) by creating practices that support the realization of the lesson in your life.
We make these changes one subtle step at a time, and together.

My body has been my guide through this journey.
One day, I sat in meditation and certain words kept coming to me.
The next day I found a Somatic Therapy program whose focus was on touch and from there I surrendered to what my mind couldn’t even fathom, but my body already knew. I gave myself permission to participate in reclaiming our relationships with our bodies, individually and as a collective. Along the journey of becoming a Certified Somatic Therapist, I couldn’t help but feel that something was missing. In this exploration I found my teacher and have been blessed to walk this path and learn from her for the past 3 years. She has helped me reconnect with my ancestral lineage and see what I knew was missing in my personal and client practice.
Thanks to my spiritual path, my offering has expanded, and I imagine will continue to expand and deepen as I continue on my path and in my learnings of the sacred mysteries. Through the expansion, one thing remains in the center - the body is the path of devotion. The body is the way we decolonize, remember, and reclaim the wisdom and medicine within us.
It began with me having intense physical reactions to being at my workplace, and it became increasingly impossible for me to ignore what my body was yelling at me - that the life I was living wasn’t working, that it was out of alignment. No longer was it this subtle message in the back of my mind, the guidance was being felt within my whole body.
Since leaving that space and committing to a path with an undefined destination, my body has guided me every step of the way. In learning to trust my body more, I came up against new and different edges and challenges, and really had to learn how to listen and discern what my body was trying to tell me.
Sacred Somatics
Heal old patterns and storylines. Build your capacity for growth, pleasure, and resilience. Let your body be your guide to the wisdom of your soul. This is…
We’ve been taught to go everywhere else in the world for answers, but in our bodies. By returning to our bodies, we work to intentionally decolonize and uncover the wisdom that has been there all along.

Hi, I’m mona.
A student of gentleness, tenderness, of the elements and all living beings, an explorer, and a somatic healing practitioner.
I have immense gratitude for the path I get to walk each day. When I consciously committed to my personal healing, I had no idea what I was embarking on, but what I’ve discovered is that it is a return to the woman I am, a return to my roots, my ancestors, and the wisdom and medicine they carried that is held within my DNA, within my bones.
Through this journey, I have learned that there is no linear path to healing, and that healing is a return to my divine self, without the layers of oppressive systems and patterns the “modern” times have convinced us we need.

Devotion to the body, its wisdom, and the medicine within your soul. Let your commitment to your body be an act of tenderness and resistance. You deserve this kindness, this reclamation.
What is somatic Therapy?
Whereas “traditional” therapy is talk-based, somatic therapy is body-based. It works from the belief that all of your lived experiences are held within your body and that by accessing and connecting with your body, its sensations and the felt senses, we can heal the storylines, patterns, and traumas. This is a practice of tuning into your sensations and feeling them so you can understand the language of your body and receive the wisdom you need to heal.
You can expect to:
Develop a consistent practice of feeling into your body
Develop a sense of safety and trust within your body to let whatever feelings or sensations present fully express themselves
Develop tools to bring yourself back to a state of regulation and ease
Strengthen the mind-body connection
