Is a lack of joy in your relationships holding you back from your full potential?
✗ Over-Engaging with Personal Limitations
When you believe that the world is against you, and you engage with the thoughts of being victimized by your circumstance and people around you, you will inevitably end up experiencing the reality that you fear the most.
✗ Earning your Worthiness by Over-Giving to Others
When you were raised with the belief that in order to be loved you had to love others before you love yourself. When you bought into the idea that you will be treated the way that you treat others, you began to abandon yourself. In those moments, you gave up your right to self-love and to be loved authentically.
✗ Living with Loneliness
When you stay in an unfulfilling relationship because you are scared to leave and you don’t know what else to do to make things better, or when you are single going from one heartbreak to the next one, or have given up your hope to find true love. In those moments, either single or in a relationship, you have compromised your opportunity for the love and connection you deserve.
Meet Dr. Monica
Welcome! I am Monica, and over the years of developing a career, with experience as a clinician, professor, researcher, and international psychotherapy trainer, there was one question I would constantly be asked, “How to heal from heartache and live to my full potential?” The answer always seems complicated but it’s not:
It’s all about relationships.
For the HEART Approach, I have taken the knowledge, research, and experience that I gathered through my education, personal life and through working with others to create the Human Existential Approach to Relationship Therapy (HEART).
My vision and passion is to serve the world by providing relational healing and greatness with a relational mindfulness approach that connects the human body, mind, heart and soul. My mission is to certify mental health professionals in the art of the HEART Approach, and to transform people’s lives through self-awakening and relationship-awakening retreats.
My dream is to build a community of professionals and individuals that are growing to their full potential and that experience joyful relational abundance.
Take the next step in creating the life you want!

“I had a life-changing encounter with the HEART approach back in December 2017, which totally changed the way I saw my present and earlier close and romantic relationships. As a result of that transformation on how I conceived relationships and romance, in October 2018 I connected with my soulmate, with whom I’m living the best romantic relationship I could have imagined”.

“I was one of a small group to receive this unique training back in 2016. From that point onwards my work with couples and individuals shifted to a deeper understanding of the relational experience”.
— Anil Arora
‘’I was a participant in a HEART workshop several years ago with a small gang of close friends, and it is invaluable what we learned; about ourselves, our relationships between us and with the opposite sex. Later on I continued alone with Monica and definitely, my life changed, and I achieved many personal goals. I know there is much more to go for, and I intend to raise my child and build my family in a wholehearted way”.
