In the past year Monica has changed my life with her treatments came to her with high anxiety, tension headaches, neck pain and fertility issues and she has addressed all of my concerns. Monica is such a gentle healing spirit and her office provides a retreat from the hectic day to day hustle—I look forward to our visits and have tremendously enjoyed getting to know her and learning more holistically about my health and wellbeing. I’d recommend Monica’s treatments to anyone!

I sought treatment from Monica for anxiety and depression following the sudden death of my father. Monica is empathetic and warm and intuitively understands the distinct needs of her clients. She has helped ease the pain of my loss and cope with the grieving process in a healthy and productive way.

Meeting Monica was one of the best things that has happened to my body in years! Having had treatments in the past (by others) with minimal results, I was surprised to not only be open to trying it again, but experiencing positive results with Monica. She is a wealth of knowledge, explains each area she is focusing on (and why), and keeps in contact during the actual session. This was an important factor for me, as being left alone in a room can be a bit stressful. I recommend Monica’s services to anyone who is considering acupuncture or energy work for any number of concerns. Her gentle and precise treatment enables me to function more positively and effectively throughout my days. Thank you!

My experience with Monica has been fantastic. Not only is she knowledgeable and innovative with her treatments, but she is very personable and caring for her patients. Since starting my treatment in February 2015, my migraines have gone from 1-2 times a week to barely once a month. In addition to my normal treatment, Monica is always willing to treat any common ailments like a cold or stomach ache. I would highly recommend her practice to anyone!!

I have always been a person who straddled “regular” and “alternative” medicine. Western for the serious stuff, and alternative for everything else. After going through a series of upsetting symptoms and exhaustive tests recently, Western medicine was unable to give me any relief. This is where Monica came in. Her thoughtful and skilled diagnosis combined with her extraordinary technique has given me results that months of Western medicine was unable to achieve. Her in-office manner is terrific too. Calm, assured, and kind. There are no questions or concerns that are dismissed, or considered “silly.” I sought out Monica after my Western doctors had no more tests to run. In retrospect, I might have wasted less time (and money) had I met with her sooner. While I still straddle the worlds of medicine, I now understand how powerful and healing energy medicine can be. Particularly when administered by Monica Legatt.

I have been seeing Monica for about 15 years for everything from sore joints to digestive issues and general well-being treatments. She is amazing! Usually fixing me up in one or two sessions. I feel like she can “see” what’s going on without me having to tell her. Monica is intuitive and professional: I highly recommend her.

I made an appointment with Monica because I was having digestion issues and was very stressed from personal issues. My step-mom had recently passed away and I was dealing with a very difficult/abusive father. The first two sessions I fell into a deep sleep during the treatment and felt so much more relaxed for days after. The other thing I noticed is that I became more aware of where I was holding my stress which is in my solar plexus. When difficult situations came up I noticed that my solar plexus began tightening up. This made me realize that I needed to speak up and set boundaries instead of internalizing my feelings and allowing people to take advantage of me. Since starting treatment my anxiety and digestions issues have greatly lessened and I feel much more empowered and in control of my life. I can choose whether I want to react or not and I am now more aware how I am harboring stress in my body. I feel very fortunate to have found Monica. She is a great listener and integrates body and mind into her practice. This is what I believe is missing from Western medicine. I went to a doctor before finding Monica that prescribed a muscle relaxant for my solar plexus and I did not want the side effects of taking medicine along with the fact that it wasn’t treating the actual root of my problem. Monica quickly got to the root of the problem and I feel like a different person from when I first walked into her office. Monica is amazing and I highly recommend her.

Monica has helped me enormously in the months that I have been going to see her. I initially sought treatment from Monica for near-chronic headaches, and in our time working together my headaches have vastly improved, going from an average of 5-6 per week to 2 or so per week, with decreasing severity. In addition to acupuncture, Monica has brought reiki into our sessions and recommended that I take a Chinese herb formula which has been very helpful. She has also helped me to recognize the underlying emotional and physical issues causing my discomfort, and has provided me with many valuable tools to improve my headache situation and overall well-being. I have tried multiple medications and treatment options for my headaches, and far and away the most successful treatment has been my sessions with Monica.

After years of dealing with severe sleep issues (insomnia and sleep apnea), I was at my wits end. I had tried everything I could think of: over-the-counter medications, a sleep study with a sleep specialist, prescription medication (Ambien), and other sleep soothing tricks. Nothing had seemed to work. I began seeing Monica in February 2014. During my first appointment, we talked about my sleep issues and I was so impressed with her knowledge of sleep disorders, causes, and treatments. She explained to me how the treatment could help and made me feel very comfortable about trying it. I was excited that this might actually help. Within a few appointments and taking the herbal supplements she prescribed, I began sleeping better. Over the course of a month, I had stopped taking my other medications and was sleeping through the night. I would still wake up a few times a night, but I was able to quickly (within 30 minutes) fall back asleep. It has now been 3 1/2 months and I am still continuing to sleep so much better. If you are experiencing similar problems with sleep, try seeing Monica. It was a huge success for me and finally after years I can wake up feeling refreshed.

I sought Monica's services while I was in extreme back pain. I had been completely immobilized and on pain meds for a week. Relief came with the very first needle. As the session went on, she also worked her Reiki healing on me as well. I now consider her services to be a necessary part of my overall health and well-being.

I discovered Monica after years of suffering from peri-menopausal symptoms and finding only partial and inconsistent relief from other treatment approaches. I had become resigned to the discomfort of hot flashes and night sweats, irritability, sleep disruption, migraines, and intense menstrual pain. But, when the hot flashes began coming every twenty minutes, the threat to my general well-being led me try yet another treatment.
Fortunately, my search for “hot flashes” brought me to Monica’s blog, which in itself had incredibly helpful information. After two appointments with Monica, the hot flashes had reduced dramatically, and my sleep had improved. After four sessions, I was completely symptom-free. Astounding.
As for the process itself, I have been more than satisfied. Monica is so kind and pleasant. Remember one of my symptoms was irritability? Monica took it in stride and spoke to me in such a friendly, gentle manner that I felt instantly comfortable. She takes a very holistic view of the patient and incorporates multiple, sometimes surprising, factors into her diagnosis and treatment plan. When one of my treatments was particularly difficult, both physically and emotionally, she continued to check in on me to make sure I was okay hanging in there for the full treatment. Turns out I was and thankfully so since it was the most incredible and effective session but I wouldn’t have made it through if she hadn’t kept checking in. Whenever I have had questions (every session), Monica has been eager to engage, explaining things like tenets of Chinese medicine, her theory of what was going on in my particular case, where the meridians are and how they function. I really can’t recommend Monica highly enough. I have already referred a few friends to her and will continue to seek her help as the need arises.
