Monica began her journey in the healing arts as a personal trainer in 1998. Eventually this led her to pursue a career in massage, completing the Thai Massage Practitioner Program and Therapeutic Touch Training, which made her hungry for more knowledge. As a result, she sought out more training in modalities such as Trigger Point Therapy, Raindrop Therapy, and Thai Herbal Compress Massage.

After years of practicing, Monica realized that she wanted to help people on a deeper level, working with internal medicine – which made her enrol in Chinese Medicine school. She received her Diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine – which totaled 3,450 hours of training over four and a half years of intensive full-time study. She is currently registered as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, Chinese Herbalist, and Acupuncturist through the CTCMA.

Monica also finds great enjoyment instructing at the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences, teaching core subjects – which truly allows her to stay current with her knowledge.

For years after Monica’s Chinese medicine schooling, she studied and certified in Injection Therapy and Prolotherapy, and apprenticed under Dr. Joel Kailia for one year. Even though she is not currently offering these services due to changes in regulations, the experience has brought her a much deeper understanding of the human body.

Most recently Monica received her Diploma in Manual Osteopathic Practice. She’s been practicing these techniques in her treatments with outstanding success and results. She loves Osteopathy!

Monica has a friendly and caring personality, and is vigilant in delivering safe treatments for her patients. She takes pride in having intent listening skills, and focused treatments, which are sure to provide results. Monica is particularly passionate about providing relief and lasting results to patients who feel hopeless about their chronic pain.
