Since graduating from the Swedish Institute, Monica has gained experience working at top spas in Manhattan and East Hampton. She has also taken continuing education courses ranging from classes by Sloan-Kettering on how to best work with clients with chronic and terminal illness to prenatal courses by Niara Healing arts.
She is trained in Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, reflexology, sports massage, Shiatsu, and prenatal massage. She tailors each session to the client's individual needs. A certified Parent-Infant Massage Instructor, Monica loves teaching moms all about the benefits and fun of infant massage.
Monica Says:
“Each of us has a story and so much of it is stored in our bodies. To me, massage is about compassion for each other and our stories. I’m so fortunate that my days are spent helping clients relax and release emotions and tensions while helping them create inner peace and quiet.”
