About Us
Live a life more balanced. The body was designed with self-regulatory mechanism ensuring repair, regulation and protection. My knowledge and skills as a licensed massage therapist and therapeutic exercise specialist allow me to help guide your body through the healing process. My passion lies in helping you to find more comfortable, pain-free ways of navigating through life. My approach is multi-faceted and thorough. My goal is not to treat your symptom, but to investigate and address the reason WHY your body has developed a certain pattern of pain/strain. Every treatment is aimed towards bringing your body back into balance so it can better utilize those innate self-regulatory mechanisms that become disrupted with abuse, overuse and/or underuse.

Being new to Rochester, I have tried a few chiropractors in the area without much success. My daughter went to Monique and came home raving about her, so I thought I’d give her a try. SO GLAD I DID! Monique is very knowledgeable, professional and personable. She takes her time to get to the root of the problem. She really cares! And in one treatment, I was amazed at the relief I received. She is a blessing!!
