What is Alchemy?
Alchemy is the ancient art & study of transformation.
I love this as a starting place, a metaphor, analogy...
Ancient Alchemists:
-
Studied the Transmutation of Matter
-
Aimed to turn Metals (Life's Challenges) into Gold
-
Sought the Universal Elixir of Optimal Health
-
All forms of matter are expressed as a trinity of Body, Mind, & Soul.

Healthy Body
The physical body consists of: Blood, Muscles, Bone, Connective Tissue, Water, and Microbes. Body is the structure that our soul inhabits--Our Space Suit. I aim to rebalance health and physical imbalances, to optimize function
Practices to support Your Body:
-
Enhance Microcirculation
-
Enhance Neural-Fascial Communication
-
Release Trauma & Stuck Stress
-
Get Bodywork
-
Be Present in Your Body
Calm Mind
In ancient studies of alchemy, Mind & Spirit are one. I think of this as the personality construct, or EGO. Eastern ideologies remind us that "monkey mind" and overactive thinking is detrimental for our health.
Nourish Your Mind Practices:
-
Slow Down
-
Breathe
-
Quiet In
-
Meditate
-
Practice Gratitude
Happy Soul
Soul is the essence that activates our physical bodies. Eastern traditions refer to soul as "The Observer Within." In ancient alchemical practices Soul is consciousness.
Practices to Nourish Your Soul:
-
Listen to Your Heart
-
Live in Alignment
-
Honor Intuitive Nudges
-
Choose to Remain Awake
-
Choose Soul-Filling People/Places/Things
In a Rut? At a Crossroads?
Many women have spent their lives caring for others.
Many have experienced trauma--physical and emotional.
We have all had heart ache, loss, illness, and disappointment.
We have been silenced, marginalized, and sexualized.
Often we get to a cross roads in our lives--where we wake up.
Once we are awake--we are unwilling to ever fall asleep again.

What Clients Are Saying...
ABOUT COACHING
This isn't just coaching... Monika has an amazing ability to listen to what I am saying and reflect it back to me in a profound way. She helps me to get out of my crazy-making stress brain, and reconnect the pathway between my head and my heart. ~ Peggy C.
"I used to be a glass half-empty person. Now I see that the glass is re-fillable! The biggest change I have noticed is that my self-talk is MUCH nicer. When my self-talk is better, everything is better, and I am a better mom, and better communicator in all of my relationships. This has been great."
~ Ivy H.
Life coaching helped me to not just set goals, but to attain them through smaller simple steps that were manageable and doable. Monika was instrumental in helping me adjust my perspective to thinking in a more positive way with a positive outcome. It wasn’t learning how to be something I’m not, but how to embrace who I am and see myself in a positive light.

ABOUT BODYWORK
Monika has been my massage therapist for 12 years and I dread the thought of going anywhere else. I have believed in the importance of massage therapy in my overall health regimen for over 20 years and have been treated by other therapists in many parts of the country. I consider Monika the best. Her approach encompasses her broad training not only in pain relief and relaxation. She is highly knowledgeable in nuitrition, healthy living and stress relieving techniques. As a vital 76 year old woman I highly recommend her services as a way to live your most productive life no matter your age. ~ Merry W.
I have been a client of Monika's for years, and I have a standing appointment to see her every two weeks. Monika is attentive to the discomfort in my body that I am able to verbalize, and has an uncanny ability to find those spots that I didn't know needed attention. It's this ability that keeps me coming back, and has me recommending her to everyone I know. Monika is also very flexible with scheduling, and has worked with me numerous times to accommodate my schedule. Monika not only cares for my physical well being, but she also genuinely cares about me as a person, and makes me feel like a valued client. ~ Robert D.
