Last Tuesday I facilitated my first full somatic journey with Angela, who was such an engaged and wonderful partner. Today, she just facilitated for me, taking me on an intensely profound healing that I was not expecting to be so raw and emotional. Thank you for that experience. As these 12 weeks of SOMA IQ training come to a close, I feel such deep gratitude. This journey has been more than learning techniques — it has been a remembering. From SOMA IQ I have learned the rhythm of breath as medicine, the science and art of holding space, the courage to lean into discomfort, and the joy of releasing through sound and movement. I’ve learned the power of community, of witnessing one another in our rawness and strength. And I’ve learned that my purpose has always been here: helping others through spiritual creativity —through the integration of AA and breathwork, singing and playing guitar, making sculptures, painting, jewelry, writing, etc...all of these are connected to our souls and our unique journeys. I will miss our weekly gatherings. The presence and encouragement of our facilitators — Dr. Samir, Adam, and Casey — and the spirit of classmates like Kylie, Bonnie, Angela, Sabine, Hazna, and so many more created a container unlike anything I’ve known. This training has felt like stepping into a 432hz wave — coherence, harmony, and resonance unfolding in every cell. And as the wave carries forward, I carry it too. Into my practice, into my service, into each breath. The courage, fortitude, frequency and purpose has always been inside us, It is a gift and I am so grateful for all of you and proud of all of us. This has not only been training — it has been a remembering of purpose.

Today was a day I’ll never forget.From 3–5, I attended a phenomenal class that left me energized, inspired, and clear that this is what I want to be doing. Working alongside amazing partners like Jamin Hapell and Sami Broock—and supported by the brilliance and generosity of Kylie Storey—reminded me how powerful this community is. And then—coming home with my husband, Alan. After two intense weeks in the hospital, I know in my bones that the coherence, love, and focus of this SOMA family have been part of his healing. I’ve felt your presence and prayers every step of the way, and I believe they’ve helped carry him back to this moment. It’s going to be a long road, but with the help of this community, we feel safe, loved, and held. I’ll be reaching out to many of you directly to thank you for the ways you’ve shown up for us. This was meant to be.From the class to the connections, to bringing Alan home—it’s all part of one beautiful arc. With a full and grateful heart, monica

Walking away from family for way too many reasons to write, was hard. But having belief life will change for the better and they will return, that’s a big surrender challenge. Me returning to the old me is not an option. Life is too precious for that. Today is today… Control the negative chatter on its arrival… Breathe… Continue being grateful for every day… And….???????

I didn’t expect to be writing this. After one long surgery yesterday, complications led to a second today. It’s been overwhelming… but also miraculous. My husband is awake. Talking. Smiling. And somehow—grateful. I know this outcome was held by more than medicine. It was prayer, community, frequency… all of you. To those in this course—thank you. I’m so new here, but I’ve felt completely wrapped in your kindness and resonance. We aren’t strangers—we’re part of the same healing field. Thank you for being the invisible hands when mine were shaking.

Mix it up… ✅ Inhale the good sh*t & exhale the BS… ✅ Your life, your power… ✅ Your journey… choose you… ✅ 🙋‍♀️ Yep, 4/4…. Now, sit back and watch who doesn’t like the new you. It’s very enlightening believe me.
