Hi! I’m Monica wynn
I see you functioning on the outside while something inside you has gone completely quiet
I see you smiling through another day that doesn't feel like yours
I see you waking up at 3am with a weight you can't name and a life that looks fine from the outside
I see you circling the same thoughts, the same almost-decisions, the same knowing — and going nowhere
I see how exhausted you are from being everything to everyone while slowly disappearing to yourself
I see you stuffing down the voice that keeps whispering there has to be more than this
I see you. And I want you to know — this does not have to be your path.
You don’t have to say it aloud - I already know
This does not have to be your path
You don't have to keep living a life that was never really yours.
But I get it — because I've been exactly where you are.
You want to feel alive again. You want to trust yourself again. You want to stop performing your life and actually live it — with clarity, purpose, and the quiet confidence of a woman who knows who she is and what she's here for.
You just haven't known how to get there.
Until now.
Hey, I’m Monica
Something in me already knew what needed to change. I'd known for a while.
For most of my life I was searching — moving, building, starting over. I'd lived in Seattle, San Francisco, Napa Valley, Denver, Vail, and Maui. I'd travelled to over 30 countries, summited Mt. Rainier, run a marathon in Hawaii, broken my nose eight times, survived a street dog bite in India (and my very first ambulance ride - that was a few days to remember), and generally said yes to life in ways that kept things interesting.
From the outside it looked like someone who had it figured out.
But beneath all of it — the achieving, the moving, the adventures — was a woman who didn't yet fully know who she was. Or why she couldn't quite seem to land.
Then everything started unraveling at once. My marriage. My sense of self. My health. Perimenopause arrived like a wrecking ball. I was struggling in ways I couldn't name and functioning in ways that were costing me everything.
I wanted, more than anything, to live an authentic life. To live simply so that others could simply live. To inspire other women to live empowered lives that set them free. That had always been my deepest truth — but it was buried so far beneath everything I was carrying I could barely hear it.
My marriage ended. I moved back home. And then I hit a wall — not a dramatic collapse, just a quiet, devastating stillness. The kind where you realize the life you thought you were building is gone and you have no idea who you are or what comes next.
the mushrooms found me
A walkabout. Synchronicities I couldn't explain. A tarot reading that pointed somewhere unexpected.
And then — four macrodose mushroom journeys with my longtime therapist that changed absolutely everything.
I went from being a lifelong atheist to knowing — not believing, knowing — that there is something bigger than us. I lost a fear of dying I had carried my entire life. I saw beauty I didn't know existed. I released trauma I didn't even know I was holding — physically, in my body, in ways that stunned me. In one six-hour journey I shook so hard I lost five pounds. That is not a metaphor. That is what release looks like when it finally comes.
The medicine didn't fix me. It showed me who I actually was.
Then life tested everything I'd learned. My mother had a horrible accident. I was assaulted walking home from the airport. My father — the best man I have ever known — passed away the day I moved back home to spend more time with him.
I handled all of it. Because the work I had done gave me a foundation I didn't know I was building.
And somewhere in the aftermath, I did something I had always dreamed of — I built a tiny house with my own two hands. And I finally understood why I'd spent my whole life moving: I wasn't running from something. I was searching for myself. What made it possible wasn't just determination. It was microdosing. For the first time in my life I could focus. I found flow states I didn't know were available to me. I showed up every day — present, grounded, and clear — and I built something real with my own hands. That house became the proof that something had fundamentally shifted.
And I finally understood why I'd spent my whole life moving: I wasn't running from something. I was searching for myself.
The mushrooms helped me find her.
One more gift came when I least expected it — the moment a friend of thirty five years looked at me and said "are you kidding me? You're the poster child for ADHD." Apparently everyone had always known. I was the last to find out. And suddenly — thirty careers, a hundred and sixty jobs, a lifetime of wondering why I couldn't stay still — it all made sense.
The mushrooms knew what I needed before I did.
Now I get to share that gift with you.
Something in you already knows what needs to change. You've known for a while.
I work with women who are done paying the price of a life that was never really theirs. Through guided microdosing and deep integration work, we cut through the stories keeping you stuck, rebuild trust in your own instincts, and move you toward a life that feels genuinely, unapologetically yours.
You've waited long enough.
credentials
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, a certification in Health and Wellness Coaching, a Somatic Psychedelic Facilitator certification, and specialized training in microdosing. I bring the science and the structure so you don't have to figure it out alone.
But more than any certification — I have done this work myself. Every part of this journey is one I have lived. I am not guiding you somewhere I haven't been.
I work with a small number of women at a time, by application, because this work deserves depth — not volume.
I've broken my nose 8 times. I'm also prone to other mishaps. My Dad once said to me, “You have the strangest accidents….”
I've been paragliding, bungee jumping, white water rafting, and cliff diving — and I'm an avid snowboarder, paddle boarder, hiker, backpacker, and cold plunger in the Puget Sound (yes, on purpose)
I've attended 4 Winter Olympics
I'm an avid textile junkie — I sew, create odd things, and have had 4 different labels and brands. I also owned a women's consignment store for 3 years and put on an epic fashion show.
I’ve lived in more places than I am old. How is that even possible?
Nature is my go-to, my safe place, my happy place — especially anything in the mountains or near salt water.
I love to dance.
I cannot walk past a claw machine without playing. It is simply not possible.
I enjoy art, museums of all sorts (especially the pinball variety), live music, exploring odd places - thank you Atlas Obscura - , and basically anything that involves being ridiculous with good humans.
My current dream is to build a Rube Goldberg Machine. I'm completely serious.
Some things you should probably know about me
