About
Monique is thankful for the opportunity to interact with and assist patients as they seek medical support and care
Monique has joined our administrative team and will be working at the front desk and responding to phone calls, texts and emails most Thursdays and Saturdays! Monique recently received her Doctorate in Chinese Medicine from NUNM and is currently studying to complete her boards for licensure to practice acupuncture at Ikigai Wellness.
As she studies for boards, Monique is thankful for the opportunity to interact with patients at the front desk, to build her administrative skills and to assist patients as they seek medical support and care. Her goal in this role is to ensure patients at Ikigai Wellness have a seamless experience as they seek and receive treatment. With a strong customer service background, Monique enjoys helping people and working with them.
Her lifelong love of nature and animals led her to hobbies such as bird and wildlife watching. As well as spending time with family and friends, she also enjoys making jewelry and learning to embroider. With her mother, she participates in citizen science projects that document Western Bluebird nest boxes and recovery. She feels lucky to live in the Pacific Northwest where nature is abundant. As a person who believes in the mind-body-spirit connection and as a former athlete, Monique lifts weights, practices gratitude, and walks outside to keep herself spiritually and physically fit.
