The mission: creating recipes to solve the human riddles of life, allowing each individual to heal from the inside out.
In 2024, Monica fulfilled a lifelong dream of co-founding two wellness centers: Vitality Village in California and Synergy Social Wellness in New York. She continues to guide and treat practitioners and students worldwide through retreats, trainings, 1:1 work, and individualized mentorship. Her teaching is rooted in science, elevated by presence, and delivered with deep reverence for the body’s innate capacity to heal.
From leading PT service projects in Tanzania and testing her own limits throughout Nepal’s Himalayas and on Mt. Kilimanjaro, to studying Yoga in Bali and Ayurveda in India, Monica’s global path continually shapes her whole-person approach. She is deeply energized to teach Cultivating Capacity this January - a program that brings her most transformative tools together to help people align with their inner knowing and create a life they truly love.
