Testimonials
“Working with Monica and taking part in the FSG was absolutely life altering. This group helped me connect immediately with others in a way that no other group ever had. I feel this allowed us to have an open and honest learning environment that allowed all of us to learn from Monica as well as from each other in a way I had never learned previously. I was unsure of making a 10 week commitment due to my scheduling and time constraints, however this group became essential to my well being and filled my heart and soul. The skills and tools I have learned have affected every aspect of my life, and I feel that they have given me a new self-awareness and empathy for others. My relationships with my family, friends, and everyone in my life have improved as a result and I am immensely grateful for the experience and journey! “

“I wish I had taken this course 20 years ago. Every aspect of my life: motherhood, work and marriage benefited from me taking the time to develop these flourishing skills. My family felt the difference in my presence after the first session and I felt empowered, uplifted and encouraged. I am eager to have my daughter begin Monica's teen flourishing skills group as I know this is the most life-changing gift I can give her.”

“The Flourishing Skills Group was life changing. Monica gave us tools for everyday life that are applicable and easy to integrate into our busy lives. Unlike other conferences I have attended, we actually practiced the tool for that week while we were together. Every week I would walk away encouraged. You don't want to miss this group and the opportunity to improve and grow in how God made you special.”

The FSG is something that everyone should learn about and integrate into their lives. The skills that are taught are extremely useful but also practical and easy to implement in life. Monica is an amazing leader and helps guide each lesson showing her passion and knowledge for each topic. She is encouraging, loving and makes it safe to share your feelings. These skills have the power to turn ones life around, they can help change the way you talk to yourself, see and interact with others and increase your happiness by teaching you to focus on the positive. I highly recommend this group to anyone who is looking for simple ways to increase their happiness and well being that will in turn have lasting benefits in their life.
