Some people think my work is about solving women’s health concerns naturally … and yes, there’s some truth to that.

But the way I experience it is this:
I get to witness women come back alive. 💃

A client’s daughter recently said to her:
“Mom, what’s going on with you? You’re glowing… and being so playful and ridiculous with us—in the best way.”

And the client said to me:
“I feel so good… like myself again. Connected. Free. Life feels simpler—but richer.”

This is the work.

Not just feeling better… but coming back into yourself in a way that touches everything.😊It’s fun and real and in a lot of ways very simple.

This season—from Spring Equinox to Summer Solstice—
is such a natural time for things to shift.

If you’re feeling the gap between where you are and what you know/dream is possible for you … reach out. 🧡

Happy first day of Spring friends! xo, Dr. Monika 🌷

UPDATE: We’ve opened a Friday–Saturday option for this weekend’s Reignite Your Feminine Fire Equinox Retreat for women who shared they could only join part of the weekend. 🧡

Details:
www.opentowellness.ca/retreats

Your dreams and desires matter.🔥

Not just for your own joy, health, and aliveness… but for all of us.

When a woman frees herself, it ripples outward - children, family, community, world.

Your freedom catalyzes others.

You’ll leave the weekend lighter, nourished, clearer, and more connected to the truth of who you are and what you’re here to share.

Trust the part of you that feels the yes.

This is a potent week astrologically and having a place to intentionally land with yourself this weekend as Spring officially welcomes us ...

With you, xo, Dr. Monika 😊

“I feel like myself again!”

When a client can’t wait until her next session and reaches out on the weekend to tell you how amazing she feels. 🧡🧡🧡

The work that elicits this response the most is the somatic coaching / yoga therapy I do with women — where tension often shifts right in the session and something deeper reconnects… a woman feeling herself again and touching her true power in a new way.

And then there are the 1-minute B12 injections 😅

Here’s the thing — when B12 is deficient, we leave a major energy-producing pathway in the body off the table.

There are many reasons B12 can run low. Part of my work is helping uncover why. Sometimes it’s surprisingly simple:
• stress keeping us out of rest-and-digest mode while eating
• decreased absorption as we age
• diet not supplying enough

When our energy is low and we don’t feel like ourselves, we can end up just going through the motions.
Sometimes a reset is physically replenishing what the body is missing.

Sometimes it’s somatic, hormonal, mental-emotional, or energetic.
After 27 years in practice, I feel grateful to have a wheelhouse that has simplified beneath the wellness fads — so I can meet a woman where she is and support her next step toward thriving. 💃
✨ The Deep Reset Session is a beautiful place to start.

A surprising truth about women and power…

One of the most foundational shifts in the work I do — in my 1-on-1 sessions, group programs, and retreats — is supporting women to use their power on their own behalf.

It sounds simple.

But many women have never been supported to do this.

A mentor once named this for me, and suddenly I could see it everywhere — in myself and in the women I work with.

When the path forward is clear (like at work or in areas where we feel competent), women show up powerful, capable, and decisive.

But when the path isn’t clear — when it comes to creating the life, health, relationships, or joy they truly desire — many women unconsciously disconnect from their power and revert to a less resourced version of themselves.

And here’s the fascinating part.
Research on the wage gap found that women negotiate just as effectively as men when advocating for another woman — but not when negotiating for themselves.

That tells us something profound.
Women often have incredible power.
They just haven’t been taught how to use it for themselves.

This is something I care deeply about in the 1-on-1 work and retreats I offer.

The container is designed very intentionally so that women can:
• reconnect to their authentic power
• stand for their own transformation
• and not default to putting everyone else first

Because in many groups, what naturally happens is that women pour their energy into supporting everyone else.

Transformation requires something different.

Sometimes women tell me,
“I don’t usually do women’s retreats.”
And honestly — if the retreat is transformational in nature — I would be discerning too.
How the space is held matters.

When the container is right, something powerful happens.
Women remember who they are and the field that is generated uplifts and supports and catalyzes everyone.

Love the women this retreat is attracting so far 💃xo, Dr. Monika 🦋

03/14/2026

A client said something that stopped me.

“My elliptical is in my kitchen… and I’m still not getting to it.”

The word still lingered in the room with a mix of frustration and quiet hopelessness.

What’s interesting is that this woman actually knew many of the things that support women’s health in midlife.

She understood the hormone-savvy foundations that so many women are never taught — things that genuinely help the body thrive.

And that information is important.
There is still a huge lack of hormone literacy for women.

But knowing what supports your body… and actually moving toward it …. two different things.

Information isn’t transformation.

So instead of pushing harder or blaming willpower, we got curious.

Because often there are invisible inner barriers — what one of my mentors calls inner glass ceilings.

And you can’t mindset your way through them.

As we explored what was underneath, it wasn’t laziness or lack of discipline.

It was something more tender.
A tightness in the throat carrying beliefs like:
• If I put attention on myself, I’m selfish.
• Other people’s needs matter more than mine.
• There isn’t enough time.
• I shouldn’t ask for help — I don’t want to burden others.

Underneath it all was something deeply human.
A longing to feel connected and loved.

These patterns don’t live only in the mind.
They live in the body.

Which is why true shifts happen when we bring together:
• hormone and nervous system support
• compassionate self-understanding
• and the courage to meet what’s been quietly shaping our choices

This is the deeper exploration we’ll be opening together at the Reignite Your Feminine Fire Retreat.

Where we reconnect with our bodies, our vitality, our joy and the parts of ourselves that have been waiting to come back online.

Because thriving as a woman in midlife isn’t just about knowing what to do. It’s about transforming the invisible barriers that keep us from living it. ✔️🔥

If ever there was a right time this is surely it. 😍🙏(Painting by Anne Bittner💕)

One of the most common things women over 40 say to me in practice might surprise you … 👑

Me during an intake:
“How’s your libido?”

A common response I hear:
“It’s not there… but honestly I don’t even care.”

If I can go out on a limb and be honest back, I often feel that the deeper, truest, most alive parts of you actually do care.

Our s*xual vitality is connected to so many (read all 😊) aspects of how we move through life. 💕

Check it for yourself. Think about how you feel when you truly feel home in your body — connected to your feminine aliveness, sensuality and overall juush.

There’s a way we walk through the world in those moments…
not leaving parts of ourselves behind or dimmed, but expressing our natural radiant, playful essence.

Our erotic energy is much bigger than s*x.

It’s the creative, curious, present, relational energy we bring to life itself — the way we relate to ourselves, to others, and to life/God/the sacred.

S*x is an act.

Eros is the life force energy that may or may not be present within it.

When we support the body systems that nourish hormones and vitality — digestion, liver, adrenals, nervous system — our erotic life force often begins to return.

AND when women reconnect with their feminine fire — that deeper aliveness and sensual presence — the body itself often begins to move back toward the kind of vibrancy and thriving it was designed fo.

Eros is life force. Creative. Sparkly.

And when it flows, everything in us and our life tends to come more alive. 🔥

Reconnecting women to this deeper vitality is part of the work we explore in Reignite Your Feminine Fire.

What lights you up? 🧡Has your body speaking her yes words of mmmm, ahhhh, ohhhhh yes …

What brings your feeling and being … your body and feminine aliveness online?

Our bodies know who we are in our essence … what brings us joy … has us feel like ourselves … home in our own skin, vibrant again!

The way off the path of burnout into our true lives and selves and vitality is not complicated but it is much different than the steps and approach that gets us and keeps us tetering there. 🧡

Just spent the last 11 weeks reigniting with 5 healing professionals who were ready to be in a container of support that opened them into a new way - not through a lot of information but through direct experiences and subtle yet profound shifts in the direction of their ship.

Doing this in community is everything!💃👑

Happy Thanksgiving weekend and may we discover or rediscover something that lights us up and warms our spirits! 🧡🧡🧡
