"Highly recommend Monica! She is amazing and I love coming to her for prenatal massages. She is very thorough, compassionate, knowledgeable, and kind. I leave there feeling 100x better, physically and mentally. Every prenatal massage I’ve gotten in the past does not even compare to coming here. I’m excited to continue working with her throughout my pregnancy and postpartum period!!"

"Monica is amazing! She provided excellent, personalized, and nurturing massage while I was pregnant and post-partum, really honoring my experience as an expecting and new mother. In addition, she facilitates a wonderful 4th trimester group that provided a safe space to share the vulnerability and highs and lows that come with the post-partum period and helped me process elements of my birth story that did not go as planned. Monica is gracious, professional, caring and an excellent massage therapist. I can't recommend her services enough! You will not be disappointed."

"Being my first pregnancy I was experiencing chronic back/body aches starting at an early stage. I was desperate to get some kind of relief and WOW, Where do I start!! First of all Monica is amazing, She was very welcoming from my very first session. And with each session she takes time out to talk to you and understand your needs so that she can focus on getting you the best relief possible. My first 90 minute prenatal massage was the best decision I’ve could of made, I left that session with maximum relief that lasted me up to two weeks which took me into my next session! I couldn’t believe my back aches were almost non-existent, and I couldn’t thank her enough I was so satisfied with her services. I plan to continue getting these prenatal massages with Monica to help relax & prepare my body for the big day!
The intimate cozy atmosphere was also pleasing!!!"

"BEST massage experience ever! I have received a prenatal and postpartum massage and LOVED both sessions, walking out feeling relaxed and my body thanking me! Monica is so welcoming and her energy is so positive and genuine. She makes sure she understands your goal for the session and then makes sure to review with you how the session was so that she can take notes for the future and better understand your preferences or make any changes to better suit your goals. I recommend her to any of my pregnant friends and family, women who have recently given birth, and anyone who I know appreciates a quality massage experience with great customer service to top it all off! I’m moving soon and I wish I could take Monica with me!"
