Meet Monica
FOUNDER & CEO OF WANDERWILD FAMILY RETREATS™ and WANDHERWILD™
With a background in the corporate world of petroleum engineering; fast paced, high stress, masculine authority was how she thrived for a decade. Stepping into motherhood was the most life changing transition Monica had ever experienced, and it was the first time in her life she had felt like a complete failure. After spending months of her maternity leave in nature, creating mental space, and presence, she connected with her truest self and the woman she is meant to be. She is now on a journey of unconditioning from what she was told success should look like, both personally and professionally, to a shift in following her own inner voice and a more pronounced understanding of intuitive guidance. Originally from New Jersey, Monica has experienced moments of surrender from her emergency c-section during COVID-19 in a foreign country, to redemption with an unmedicated VBAC through hypnobirthing, to her daughter’s near death experience in the ICU. These experiences unique to motherhood have created an opening for a profound awakening where Monica has found herself receiving intuitive messages and guidance all around her.
