My Story

For a long time, I played small.
Not because I wasn’t capable but because I was taught it was safer to stay unseen.

​

I kept the peace.
I made sure everyone else was okay, even when I wasn’t.
I stayed agreeable, invisible, and gave more than I ever asked for.

​

Somewhere along the way, I forgot how to ask for what I needed.
And I feared what might happen if I owned my voice, my success, and my life.

​

But life has a way of nudging you toward your calling.
Grace kept tapping me on the shoulder, whispering: It’s time.

​

So I began the search.
I studied coaching, psychology, trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, and more.
I went deep into the patterns that keep us circling and how to break them.

​

What I found was this:
It’s not about doing more.
It’s about finally owning yourself, trusting your own decisions, and leading from the inside out.

​

“Monica created such a welcoming space where I felt comfortable to share and delve into my true feelings. She helped me unpack a recurring pattern in my life and understand what was driving it. This insight has had a significant positive impact in how I show up — in my work and in my relationships.”

What I Believe

  • Confidence is quiet inside, grounded, and self-led.

​

  • Success means nothing if it isn’t truly yours.

​

  • Momentum isn’t forced; it’s unlocked when you’re aligned.

​

  • You’re not stuck; you’re replaying old patterns of invisibility, loyalty, or fear.

​

  • Emotional safety is the foundation for growth that lasts.

“Through working with Monica, I’ve been able to feel grounded in my truth, comfort with her support, and challenged to implement a new way of being that I’m proud to become.”

— Becca, Sacramento

My Approach

My approach blends psychology, neuroscience, and deep coaching practices.

 

I draw on somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and positive psychology to help you not only see the invisible patterns, but also trust yourself to shift them.

 

This isn’t about theory; it’s practical, lived work designed for real life.

How We Can Work Together

I work with professionals who are ready to stop circling and step into their next chapter with clarity, conviction, and aliveness. 

​

Whether it’s through:

​

  • 1:1 coaching

  • small group programs

  • corporate leadership workshops

  • speaking engagements

 

I help you:

​

  • Rebuild self-trust and stop doubting themselves

  • Move from internal limits to forward momentum

  • Reconnect with the version of you that feels fully alive, not just functional

​

“Being in Monica's presence is like bathing in a vast warm ocean of compassion and kindness. She is solid, certain, and gentle; an iron fist in a velvet glove.”

— Becky, USA

Beyond the Work

When I’m not coaching or speaking, you’ll find me meditating, walking my dog, or sipping tea and reflecting on life with a notebook nearby.


I believe depth is power and it’s your choice to accept the invitation to reclaim your life.
