“My Reiki session was truly transformative. I will absolutely be returning to her and recommending her to anyone who is seeking clarity, healing, or direction on their path. And if you have pets—especially those who have experienced trauma—her animal communication gifts are incredible. Your heart, and your animals, will thank you!!”

— Kathryn

“I highly recommend Monique. Her connection with her instruments is very authentic and you can feel that throughout the sound experience. I also have experienced Monique's Reiki therapy personally and have witnessed her Reiki talent first hand helping animals in need of healing. Her work with people and animals is inspiring and gets real results.

— Carol

As someone who had never done gong sound therapy, Monique made my first time an incredible experience. I felt comfortable, safe, loved. It was exactly what I needed for recent anxiety and racing thoughts I had been having. Thank you again Monique!
