Monica Andrade

Monica has devoted her life to learning from different traditions that inspired her healing journey and personal transformation. After graduating as a Philosopher and Political Scientist from the University, she went deep into the study of Yoga under the guidance of Sri Dharma Mittra in New York City. Later, she became a Zen Meditation Practitioner and spent many long retreats in Silence in a Spiritual Community in the jungle of Costa Rica. 
 
During these seasons in the jungle, Monica developed a profound devotion to ancestral wisdom. She immersed herself in Shamanism and Energy Healing, following the guidance of powerful Indigenous traditions from Central, North, and South America. 
 
She is also trained in Mindfulness-based practices by great teachers like Spring Washam, Tara Brach, and Jack Kornfield. She has been a student and practitioner of the Compassionate Inquiry Therapy method developed by Doctor Gabor Maté and trained in Suicide Attention under his approach. 
 
In the past years, she has studied Chanting and Sound Healing next to great teachers such as Deva Premal, Miten, Jai Uttal, and Krishna Das.
