“Moni creates a truly safe and unconditional space where you can simply be exactly as you are. And she holds her work with so much presence, humility and devotion. I felt deeply respected throughout the entire session and her touch carries an incredible sense of care and intention. It is a beautiful experience for anyone longing to come home to themselves through the wisdom of the body. Her genuine care for the person in front of her can be felt in every moment of the session. I’m deeply grateful for this experience with you Moni. Thank you for holding such a beautiful space for me to soften, listen and connect with myself 🤍”

“Una experiencia inolvidable. No solo hay que destacar los cuidados realizados con mucho mimo. Es como se siente uno después de estos cuidados. Y no hablo solo de una cuestión física. Va mucho más allá... Lo recomiendo 100%”

“Monica has shown particular strength in delivering treatments that support recovery, relaxation, and overall wellbeing—key components for clients participating in fitness programmes, sports training, and wellness retreats. She understands the importance of tailoring massage treatments to complement physical performance, aid recovery, and enhance the overall client experience. We found Monica to be reliable, motivated, and genuinely passionate about her professional development. She would be an asset to any retreat, wellness centre, or physical activity organisation seeking a skilled and holistic therapist who can contribute positively to both team dynamics and client outcomes.”

“Moni as an extremely gifted massage therapist. She has very loving, healing touch that sets me at ease. It’s as if she knows what my body needs. She is able to bring me into deep relaxation and work the stress out of my body with her intuitive body work. I’ve had many massage experiences in many places and I can say she is one of the very best I’ve found.”

“Profesionalidad y cercanía, entrega asertiva y clara. Muestra su determinación en la ayuda y la recogida terapéutica sin pretensiones vacías o artificios. Es clara y sencilla y cree en su terapia acompañándote y guiándote todo el tiempo. La sensación es de estar en casa, cuidado y seguro. Difícil explicar con palabras y ser preciso con la experiencia vivida.”

“Lo que llegó como un regalo sorprendente de cumpleaños, siguió como una experiencia única y maravillosa. No solo en el plano físico con manos delicadas y expertas, sino además, con la tibieza de una confortable camilla y la música inspiradora que transportó todo mi yo a otra era, a otra dimensión emocional y espiritual. Gracias de corazón a mis dos Monicas. Valoración : un 5 total”

“We had the pleasure of working with Moni during a Heal Play Love retreat at Wakana Lake in 2024, and her work was truly exceptional. Moni creates a calm, safe, and deeply nurturing space. Her massages go far beyond the physical, they are intuitive, grounding, and profoundly restorative. Many participants described their session with her as one of the highlights of the retreat. Her professionalism, warm presence, and genuine care made her a beautiful addition to our retreat team. We would gladly recommend Moni to any retreat or conscious space that values depth, quality, and authentic connection. With gratitude, Heal Play Love 💛”

“El masaje que me dio Moni fue una experiencia inolvidable. La atmósfera que crea, las manos que tiene, su sensualidad, y, sobre todo, la particular energía que ella tiene y transmite, hace que tu mente se evada de tu cuerpo y te transporte a otros lugares, y salgas totalmente relajado y renovado. Fueron los 90 minutos más rápidos que se me pasó en mi vida. Repetiré y lo recomendaré, sin duda!”

“I have had insomnia since I was 14. As a father, engineer, rock climber and capoeira practitioner, I need my sleep. Without sleep I cannot perform in all my ventures. After years of body work of myriad modalities I did not think Moni would be able to offer me help in sleep, because she is small in stature. But I have learned she is big in energy. As a repeat customer I have learned that her massage skills consistently surpass my expectations. Every massage with Moni, without fail, has led me to wonderful and restorative night’s sleep, that I could not have had without her help. Beyond this aspect of sleep, her massages feel almost like I am back at home with my Mother, due to Moni’s loving touch. That is something I’ve never experienced, not even in prominent parts of New York and Miami where I have had many massages. I will continue to be a repeat customer and I will continue to share knowledge of her services with all of my colleagues and friends.”

“Un masaje con Moni te garantiza estar en manos de oro. Ella trabaja desde su corazón y con mucha ternura y flow conecta con tu energía... estuve flotando en el aquí y ahora durante todo el masaje. Tanto su forma de ser como su masaje son inolvidables. Gracias por cuidarme.”

“The massage given by the wonderful Moni at the Sensual Tenerife Retreat was given with so much passion, presence and energy flow using her own blend of essential oils. I was enveloped in a calming atmosphere with the scent of lavender and soothing music, making me feel relaxed from the start. As the session began, I immediately felt the tension in my muscles start to melt away. At a certain point my mind drifted away as I enjoyed the sensation of my body giving into the space and fully letting myself be nurtured. The scent of the oil heightened my senses, which I found both relaxing and invigorating at the same time. The 90 minutes passed in a blissful haze, and by the end of the session, I felt rejuvenated, lighter in my body and my mind with the added bonus of my skin feeling soft and radiant. Thank you Moni! If I lived in Tenerife you would be seeing me regularly!”
