I am Monica
Creativity, art, and spirituality have been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I find my greatest inspiration in nature, the animal world, the rhythms of life, people’s stories, music, and dance.
I am deeply fascinated by authentic expression and creative transformation – and today, this is at the heart of the work I do.
My Story
Playful and curious by nature, life has continually led me toward new experiences and challenges.
I wanted to live a rich and colourful life, and I was fortunate to receive much of what I longed for. I had the privilege of growing up and living in beautiful places around the world, including Peru, London, New York, Vienna, and Switzerland.
I have travelled extensively and met many inspiring people along the way.
Yet living and integrating such a wide range of experiences and emotions was not always easy.
In my early thirties, I found myself needing to pause, explore my pain, learn to treat myself with kindness, and begin the process of healing.
I expressed some of these experiences in an illustrated book. Although it grew out of my own journey, many people – especially women – felt deeply connected to it.
This encouraged me to share what I had learned and experienced with others.
Since 2000, I have been exploring personal growth and the expansion of consciousness. Dance, performance, sound, drawing and painting, yoga and meditation, Somatic Experiencing®, shamanic practices, coaching, and energy work have become powerful tools in my own life – helping me grow and supporting me in accompanying others on their journeys.
