One thing that sets Monica apart from other therapists is her emphasis on educating her clients on the impact that the mind-body connection has on their overall health. She believes in empowering her clients to look at health from a lifestyle perspective by incorporating a variety of tools that help each individual as opposed to a “magic pill.” The personal time and attention Monica gives is the distinctive quality that creates a safe, therapeutic experience for each of her clients.​

​
In addition to her clinical practice, Makayla serves as a Teaching Assistant for UII, where she supports practitioners in developing their understanding of CranioSacral Therapy. This role strengthens her ability to communicate complex concepts clearly, an approach she brings into her sessions through a strong emphasis on client education.

Kim Cox is a certified yoga therapist with International Association of Yoga Therapists and Yoga Alliance, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner through Peter Levine’s trauma healing, and lives in Austin, TX. Kim’s private practice incorporates somatic experiencing and yoga therapy for the release of trauma through felt sense awareness. Through (SE), Kim’s clients contain and renegotiate the effects of trauma, affirming experiencing a more purposeful, passionate and authentic life because of the release, equilibrium and healing that somatic work provides.
​
Kim offers somatic movement classes and one on one sessions, in person and remote. Through the combination of repetitive movement, sound and breath work, energy that is blocked or stuck has the potential for release. By intensifying the tremor mechanism, and then settling over and again the body begins to build a greater container to feel into discomfort. This modality creates discharge and flow in the body, mind and emotions.
​Isa d’Etienne grew up in Dallas, Texas, and has always been deeply curious about people – why we feel the way we do and how we experience life. This curiosity led her to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Anthropology, where she explored the connections between mind, body, culture, and human behavior.
​
Isa is a skilled lymphatic therapist whose work focuses on supporting the body’s natural fluid movement while encouraging nervous system regulation and overall structural balance. She integrates Lymphatic Balancing with the gentle principles of CranioSacral Therapy, helping the body restore healthy circulation while supporting the body’s innate capacity for healing.
​
She completed her massage therapy training in 2021 and began her CranioSacral Therapy studies with the Upledger Institute International (UII) in 2023, where she continues to deepen her training. Isa also serves as a teaching assistant for UII foundational CST courses, supporting new practitioners as they learn the principles and techniques of CranioSacral Therapy.
​
Isa brings a thoughtful, grounded presence to her sessions and enjoys supporting clients as they reconnect with balance, awareness, and overall well-being.
