MONICA
Monica is a Sacred Sexuality and Embodiment coach based in Toronto, Canada.
She holds certifications as a Sexological Bodyworker and Somatic Sex Educator, and has completed numerous other trainings in existential integrative psychotherapy, breathwork, yoga, Tantra, kink/BDSM, and Taoist sexuality.

She has been featured on CityLine, Soulspace podcast, Oasis Aqualounge’s Sex School Series. and has taught at the Toronto Tantra Festival.
Monica is known for creating a warm and open environment where clients can dive into the most difficult topics surrounding their sexuality. She provides a unique container where clients can explore embodied coaching as well as receive full body touch in a safe and trauma informed environment. She specializes in creating sacred embodiment practices, and helping clients understand and communicate their needs and boundaries.
Monica’s mission is to help build a world where sexuality is no longer taboo, and where we can live in reverence for all of life because we are connected to the sacred within. And that journey begins with connecting to the body.
A personal note…
Hello! I’m so thrilled you found your way here.
It’s my greatest honour to create a space where people from all walks of life can expand and evolve on their sexual journey.
I believe that our bodies are driven by an inner intelligence that wants and knows how to heal, when given the right circumstances. I believe in our capacity for wholeness, where pleasure is easily accessible, and we embody our independence and interdependence.
I support freedom, sovereignty and self responsibility, and working in tandem with nature to support the balance of our bodies and souls.
My commitment is to hold space for the depth and breadth of human experience so that we can all heal beyond our wounds, and come to know ourselves as both body and spirit.
