My sales team works in a high pressure, fast-paced environment that has only augmented as we find ourselves dealing with the effects of the Covid-19 outbreak. Like many businesses, we have been faced with challenges that have caused feelings of anxiety, stress, loss of motivation, and pessimism. Through her meditation, Monica has helped our sales and leadership team cope with those feelings, and the outcome has truly been incredible. Her techniques are engaging, soothing, and rejuvenating. With Monica’s guided meditations sessions, I’ve been able to find the “pause-button” that I’ve needed to find the tools to cope with some of the hardest times I’ve experience both professionally and personally.

I listened to one of Monica’s meditations and invited my mom to join. During a time of overwhelming uncertainty and heightened stress, we both felt so much weight lifted from our energy after the meditation. It was so nice to experience alongside my mom and to see her truly smile!

Good morning, Monica! I have done the meditations two days now. This morning I did the cleansing meditation and yesterday, I did the health-earth one. I have to tell you that I have had a pressure in my chest for almost a month! I was convinced that it was the dreaded virus. My doctor told me I had no symptoms and *Jocelyn told me it was stress and anxiety, as did my sister *Magaret and *Evelyn.
Well, this morning I have no pressure. I am serious! It’s been so long that I thought I would have to go to the doctor and have my heart checked. The cleansing did more for me than the health-earth, or maybe it was the combination. In any case, I just wanted to thank you. I am going to continue listening; and if you don’t mind, I’m going to share this with *Margaret and *Evelyn, who are also under a lot of stress. Thanks again!
