Holistic Healing at the Core

Monica's approach to wellness is deeply rooted in the principles of TCM. This ancient system sees the body as an interconnected network of energetic pathways, known as meridians. Imbalances in these meridians can manifest as physical or emotional distress. Through acupuncture, Traditional Chinese herbs, and other modalities like massage and energy healing, Monica strives to restore balance and harmony within the body's natural healing capacity. This holistic perspective allows her to address patients holistically, considering not only their symptoms but also their underlying emotional, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
