about

This is a direct, reality-based approach to Being Human.

Here, we include both our being and our human experience. This approach is grounded in the science of human healing and connection, as illuminated by the founders of Somatic Science®, Somatic Experiencing, and the Polyvagal Theory. These pioneers in human healing discovered new pathways into the heart of healing through the body. Their wisdom allows us to discover our unique wisdom; how it is possible to learn to trust and transform our experience without transcending it, opening up a doorway to happiness, wholeness, and our essential self.

My name is Monique.

I am here as a result of my lived experiences and the work and grace of my own personal healing over almost five decades. 


I devoted many years to practices and traditions that transcended my human experience before finding my way back home to the Here and Now. I am thankful to present a reality-based approach to being human that embraces the totality of both Body and Being.


As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher, I merge science and soul with deep love and reverence for the Essence of being+human. Our essential humanity. 


This reverence emerges in me at the intersection of regulation and revelation. It is rooted in embodied nonduality and a recognition and remembrance of the essential self.
