Working with somatic massage completely transformed my entire approach to massage therapy. After 15 years in the field, I was convinced that truly addressing clients' deep issues meant relying on my own physical strength to dig into the tissues. I'd long understood that the body stores pain and trauma as symptoms and dis-ease, but Monique gave me the language and tools to weave that wisdom directly into my practice—helping my clients finally relax, release, and heal on a profound level.

That somatic training in Spokane was truly life-changing for me, both personally and professionally. It deepened my understanding of the nervous system and how to help clients release long-held tension through safety, presence, and gentle touch. I left with a clearer sense of how to hold space for real healing and it’s completely changed the way I show up in my work.

After taking the Somatics and Nervous System Regulation Techniques course with Monique, my practice completely transformed. Clients I’ve worked with for years are experiencing pain relief, better sleep, and even regained sensation — results I never achieved with Deep Tissue or Neuromuscular Therapy. After 30 years in the field, I finally feel renewed in my work — no more exhaustion or sore hands, just deep, lasting results and the fulfillment of truly helping people.
