About Me
Hi friend! My name is Monica.
I am a single mom of six kids. I am also an intuitive, claircognizant, clairsentient, a healer and lightworker.
I grew up in a very religious home but never felt like it was a right fit for me. I always knew that there was something more out there for but never knew what it was. I searched down so many avenues and rabbit holes, looking for my place in this world. I also carried with me a lot of childhood traumas that, left unhealed, began compounding into more traumas and toxic behaviors. I jumped from relationship to relationship, just trying to find somewhere safe. I eventually met my (now ex) husband and got married in my early 20s. It was an abusive relationship from the beginning, but I thought I could change him. That perspective cost me dearly: I was subjected to every type of abuse over the course of almost 20 years.
My first spiritual awakening was in 2012, after the birth of my 4th child. But I wasn't aware that that's what it was. I realized that the way that I was repeating the same cycle of abuse that I had been subjected to during my childhood. The very same cycle that had made me choose to marry an abusive man. I knew that I had to break that cycle. I owed it to my precious children. I began parenting in a way that was inspired by Gentle Parenting. I also began wanting to live a healthier and more natural lifestyle. I began intentionally working on my courage, self-confidence and self-esteem. And as I progressed on my journey, I shared it with the world via my blog, Is It Naptime Yet (no longer published). I was also coaching people on healthy eating and fitness, as well as coaching pregnant women to help empower them for their upcoming labors and motherhood. I also spent years mentoring parents on alternative and more natural ways of parenting.
I had my first home birth in 2017 (what a powerful way to embody that courage and self-confidence I mentioned earlier!)...I loved the experience but was stuck in a deep depression. The years of abuse were becoming unbearable as my "awakening" was getting stronger. My doula had me begin taking a homeopathic for my antepartum and postpartum depression in 2018, when I was pregnant with my sixth baby. It worked an absolute miracle! I came out of the depression and began working heavily on healing myself. In 2018 I had my second home birth and continued learning more and more about the Divine Feminine and a whole new world of spirituality. I suddenly found where I belonged, what I had spent my whole lifetime searching for.
In December of 2019, in the middle of the night, I packed my six children and a few bags of clothing into my SUV and we drove away. I had finally found the strength and courage to leave my abusive husband.
Over the years since then, I have continued on my spiritual path, learning as much as I can and applying it to my own life. I have also been following my life's Purpose, which is to help women heal themselves, through embracing joy and finding their life's path. I do this through intuitive tarot readings and personalized Soul Coaching sessions.
