You know better. And you still do it.
The 9 p.m. pantry trip when you’re not even hungry. The plan you drop right when it starts working. The post you write and never share. The thing you swore you’d stop, again.
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. And you don’t have to collect one more piece of information.
There’s a pattern running underneath. It’s been doing a job, usually protecting you from something. When you see what it’s protecting, it starts to let go.
That’s what this space is for.
I know this pattern from the inside
For years I wrote meal plans for women and watched the results fade. I ran the San Diego and Napa marathons, running from pain I didn’t understand. I taught yoga to rooms of 40 women with a shield around my heart.
Then the first time I was hypnotized, I finally understood what was behind all my snacking and overeating. I didn’t feel safe. The weight was protecting me.
That moment changed everything. I trained in hypnosis, NLP, breathwork and shamanic work, and I’ve been guiding women to the root of their patterns ever since.
And in October 2026, I resigned out of my 9 to 5 to do this work full time. So you’ll get to watch me live what I teach.
What I share here
Rewire the Pattern: Self-sabotage, holding back, and the old beliefs about being enough that quietly run the show. And how hypnosis rewires them.
Cravings Gone: Late-night eating, emotional eating, and what you’re really hungry for. Cravings aren’t the enemy. They’re a signal.
Become the Guide For coaches and practitioners ready to lead. What hypnosis makes possible, getting visible, attracting clients, and the certification I teach.

What women say
“Monica is a wonderful hypnotherapist, I’ve had sessions with other hypnotherapist in the past and I have to say Monica is the best by far! Not only did I have success in losing weight the first month -several months later I continue to slim down and have been able to change my eating habits. Monica is very knowledgeable, professional and incredibly kind. I highly recommend her!!!!”
Shauna Coletti“I want them to experience the same level of clarity that I experienced with Monica. She is so soft, calm, and really passionate about what she does... Without Monica’s help this could have taken me more years and more tears.”
Sandra Montour“I understand more how deep rooted past experiences can affect my life as an adult and how important it is to release those emotions and blocks. I feel so much more lighter like a big weight and burden has been lifted off of me”
Tina Darlington“German chocolate cake has always been my favorite. I looked at it today and I had zero desire. More than that, I really did not want any of it in my body. Working with you has changed a lifetime of food cravings that I had trouble controlling so they were controlling me and it has been effortless. The shift occurred from our hypnosis session. It was an immediate change. I just have not desired foods that I used to be unable to resist.”

Stop fighting the pattern. Go underneath it.
You’ve read the books. You’ve done the mindset work. You understand yourself better than most people ever will.
And you still reach for the food. You still hold back. You still drop the plan right when it starts working.
Understanding it was never the whole answer. Your subconscious learned this pattern, and that's where it changes.
Deep Work is where you do that, every week, in your own home.
Is this for you?
This is for you if:
You eat when you’re not hungry, especially at night
You start strong and then stop yourself
You’re scared to be seen, post, or share your offer
You carry everything and rarely put any of it down
You’ve done a lot of work on yourself and the pattern is still there
What’s inside Deep Work
The Pattern Vault: a practice library, not a content library. When you’re in the middle of something, find the matching room and press play.
Room 1: Cravings and food. For the 9 p.m. craving and the “I’m not even hungry.”
Room 2: Self-sabotage. For when you know better and still do it.
Room 3: Nervous system and safety. For when everything feels like too much.
Room 4: Getting Visible for Business Women (opens November). For when you’re scared to post or share your offer.
Room 5: Emotional release (opens December). For the anger, sadness and weight you’ve been carrying.
Room 6: Self-trust (opens January). For trusting your own knowing again.
Room 7: The next chapter (opens February). For starting again, at any age.

How it works
Pick the room that matches what you’re feeling. Press play. For the hypnosis audios, listen every night for 21 days. That’s how your subconscious takes in something new. It’s in your hands, and I’ll be with you in every recording.

Is this the same as Cravings Gone? No. Deep Work covers every pattern: cravings, self-sabotage, visibility, emotions and more. Cravings Gone is my food-specific program with live hypnosis and coaching.
Is this therapy? No. Hypnosis is a powerful tool for change and works alongside medical and mental health care, not in place of it.
What if I’ve never done hypnosis? Perfect. Start with a Quick Shift in Room 1 or Room 3. You’ll stay aware and in control the whole time.
With love, Monica
