She is super passionate about supporting others create personal and professional success through profound healing and bringing people together! Learn how Monica explored these two passions and created a successful business from them. **How did you get started with your current career path/business journey? **I’ve actively been involved in personal growth and development since I was 16 years old. I entered the space of holistic healing professionally in 2008 after becoming certified as a holistic health coach. Since then I also became a certified breath coach, a reiki master, and an Akashic records reader. In 2012 I also started producing biz events for the conscious business community in NYC and eventually evolved my biz to support other entrepreneurs with their business with a combination of soul healing and heart-based business strategy.  **What do you find is the most rewarding aspect of what you do? **When I can assist you to heal and love yourself more than ever that your whole life and business improves as a result. **As you know, we are about inviting other women to sit at the table. How are you inviting other women to take a seat at the table? **I have been leading midweek breathing mediations every Wednesday in July in the meditation room. My goal is to help members access internal tools for their success, wellbeing, and happiness.  **What impact has Luminary made in your career? **As an entrepreneur...it gets lonely! It's been invaluable to have a place where I can commune with other boss ladies and have a space to connect with other powerful, like-minded ladies. ## Comments ### Luminary News News and Articles about Luminary. ### Subscribe for News Updates ### Topics - [Cate Luzio (30)](https://www.weareluminary.com/asseenin/tag/cate-luzio) - [Luminary Team Highlight (38)](https://www.weareluminary.com/asseenin/tag/luminary-team-highlight) - [Member Highlight (1)](https://www.weareluminary.com/asseenin/tag/member-highlight) - [News (73)](https://www.weareluminary.com/asseenin/tag/news) - [The Glass Ceiling (4)](https://www.weareluminary.com/asseenin/tag/the-glass-ceiling) [![Luminary-2](https://www.weareluminary.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Luminary-2.png?width=1081&height=1081&name=Luminary-2.png "Luminary-2")](https://www.weareluminary.com/home) ###### Location **NoMad** 1204 Broadway New York, NY 10001 (646) 876 - 8680   ###### Hours **Monday-Thursday** 8:30am - 7pm **Friday** 8:30am - 6pm **Saturday** 10am - 4pm ###### Social [**](https://twitter.com/weareluminary_) [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/weareluminary) [**](https://www.instagram.com/weareluminary/) [**](https://www.facebook.com/weareluminary) ### Stay updated with our latest news and events. © 2022 Luminary Legacy, LLC.
