3-Days of transformational healing to ignite your true potential and release what no longer serves.
You have a special purpose to realize in this life, and you know you have a unique mission. Your primary desire is to actualize your soul’s mission, but you know that you have to release what no longer serves and take radical responsibility for the life you are creating.
You are ready to say YES! to more peace, clarity, emotional harmony, self-trust, and magic in your life, but you need guidance.
This is an invitation to join me in a sacred, intimate partnership for 3-days of invocation, release, purification, and intention so that you can overcome resistance to the right relationship, financial success, and pure joy.
“I truly walked away from this experience changed in the most positive ways possible and am looking at life through a new lens.”
I turned to Monica after a traumatic event happened in my life. I was looking for relief from anxiety, depression, grief, and a new way forward, including healthier eating and practices that I could apply to my daily life. The program that she created for me was exactly what I was looking for and needed. Each day was filled with new, interesting components, from powerful meditations, customized extremely relaxing and pampering treatments to delicious teas and home-cooked meals. I felt completely cared for as if my own mother or grandmother was nursing me back to health.”
— Alissa Krueger
IT’S TIME TO CREATE SOME SPACE FOR THE ARRIVAL OF WHAT YOU REALLY WANT
What stops you from achieving or receiving what you want in life? Your dream life, your dream body, not just who you want to be but how you want to feel?
We’ll need to declutter your current life; it’s time to create some space to arrive at what you want.
Your 3-day retreat at Hamsa begins with a free consultation and interview where Monica will spend about an hour with you exploring your health and personal history. She will use this information to craft a customized 3-day program that includes invocation, emotional release, ritual, and bodywork to break through self-imposed limitations and to step into alignment with your truth.
Your 3-day program can be customized to reduce imbalances in the body, enhance digestion, regulate immunity and balance weight.
“I now feel connected to my true purpose and I do not doubt my path.
Over the years, I have noticed that I call Monica when my healing requires more subtlety, depth, and nuance. The effects of last year’s program grow noticeably stronger, like tea steeping in the sun. Monica created processes and ceremonies that connected me to my ancestors and Higher Self. I now feel connected to my true purpose, and I do not doubt my path. My confidence and self-knowing come from a deep place within. Whether Monica supports you through detox or helps you heal your psyche and spirit later in your healing, she will help you. The healing journey continues to transform, and I am grateful for a practitioner who so clearly sees the next step. Do yourself a favor and trust her sage insight” - Lisa Myers
Monica has been customizing private retreats since she finished her apprenticeship under Dr. Light Miller in 2006. In 2013, she opened Hamsa Ayurveda & Yoga and trained dozens of therapists in the modalities that she learned from various teachers and cultivated on her own. One of her specialties is tarpana, an ancient practice of emotional release and ancestral healing. As an herbalist and an aromatherapist, she can formulate your herbs, supplements, and oils to enhance the efficacy of your 3-day program.
“The letting go ceremony was one of the most powerful experiences that I have had in all my years of therapy, meditation and other self-awareness activities.”

What happens during your retreat?
Your first day begins with an invocation ritual to open the ancestral lines for healing and support. We inherit many of our lessons from our ancestors, and including them in your healing process is very powerful.
Through a guided practice with Monica, you will learn to connect to your heart and speak what you want out loud. Many clients report that saying their true desires out loud is something they never really did before.
Following this, we re-align you with your true nature, allowing your inner self to be expressed. Emotions, trauma, and belief systems can be held in different parts of the body.
We may, at this stage, work with replacing some of your belief systems, rewiring your nervous system, and creating new connections in your brain and body.
Rebirthing breathwork, tarpana, emotional release techniques, and ayurvedic body therapies are used to facilitate release, energetic purification, and diffusion of beliefs deep in the unconscious.
These are excellent tools to assist you in understanding your subconscious and helping you to build the relationship between you and yourself, between the masculine and feminine aspects of yourself, and the physical and mental with the spiritual. Additionally, we can get to the secondary gain you have for your feelings, behaviors, and life creations during this time. Shining a bright light on your subconscious so that you can be free to step into your idealized self.
You will spend about 3.5 hours with Monica each day, and the rest of your day should be spent used for reflection and doing additional assignments prescribed by Monica as indicated.
