Your healing
journey starts here
Healing in itself is a true form of art.
Locations in Bensalem & PhiladelphiaFor a moment now, imagine starting your life off with a blank canvas. You are presented with options - things you can use as art supplies.
These options give you the freedom to express yourself! The power to create whatever you’d like! Anything your mind can dream up!
Eventually, you start to see patterns appear. You choose to change, modify, or repeat them.
Shapes and colors mean so many different things to you, triggering an endless landscape of emotion. And, the only person who decides what you create is you!
There's only one catch - you must use everything that is given to you. You must realize how to utilize all that you have to create beautiful works of art, discover your capabilities, and share them with the people you love!
Does this sound like you? You’ve come to the right place!
Once you begin your healing journey, you will commit to turning your story into something beautiful, wonderful, and beneficial for yourself and the world around you. Let’s begin!
''He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. But, he who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist."
- Francis of Assisi

Thai Massage is an ancient form of medicine still practiced today in Thailand and all over the world. Its tradition is heavily focused on compassion for all living beings.
Thai Massage works on both the physical and energetic body, addressing issues of flexibility, stability, and stagnation. It helps improve mobility of the joints and tonus of muscles, bringing your body back to a state of balance and homeostasis.
Thai massage is considered energy work - you focus on breathing, allowing the therapist to fluently and effectively treat tight muscles.
Clients report feeling as if someone else is putting them through yoga, while simultaneously massaging them. It leaves your body feeling lighter and more open.
Our Thai Massage Session is excellent for athletes looking to improve flexibility, those having issues with joint mobility.
Clinical studies done on the benefits of Thai massage show that it improves joint mobility, flexibility, muscle tone, and bone density. It is also beneficial for those living with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
This unique form of bodywork is a meditative delight!
Chakra Balancing Session
We are energetic beings manifested in a physical reality. With this in mind, Chakras are energy vortexes located within us. In Eastern philosophy, Chakras are linked to specific sets of emotions, as well as our physical body parts.
With trauma and built-up stress, our Chakras can become blocked. This hindrance has a major negative impact on our emotional state. If left unbalanced, a plethora of other issues could begin to materialize.
Our Chakra Balancing Session will target the root of the issue and align your Chakras.
Having your Chakras balanced can be a beneficial, life-changing experience.

Kinetic Chain Release (KCR)
Connective Tissue Release (CTR)
Postural Energetics (PE)
Developed by Hugh Gilbert, legendary Scottish physiotherapist, Kinetic Chain Release is a series of stretches, muscle releases, and joint mobilizations that follows the kinetic chain that promotes our alignment and stability. Performing these releases in sequence stimulates the nervous system in a profound way that allows for long-lasting change throughout the body.
Performed second to KCR, Connective Tissue Release releases specific connective tissue conjunctions in the body. CTR can be incredibly effective in relieving chronic pain and general discomfort.
Lastly, Postural Energetics brings everything together. PE is a powerful form of standing meditation that helps guide you back to the art of self-healing as you learn how to reconnect with your body.

What is Reiki?
Reiki Healing
Reiki is the universal life force energy, also known as Chi, Ke, or Prana.
We exist in an energetic plane, as well as the physical one. Just as massaging directly addresses physical issues that are causing restricting pain, Reiki addresses discomforts caused energetically. We feel the negative effects of it more than we realize. It can come in a variety of forms, such as lack of motivation, unexplained body aches, and unhappiness with no identifiable cause. These scenarios can manifest after life-changing or traumatic events.
Reiki is helpful in treating these issues because it works on an energetic level to bring the body back to its most natural state in order to heal itself. Not to mention - it's incredibly relaxing and transformative.
What is Reiki like?
Reiki is a unique experience that varies for each individual. The process is typically performed hands-off, meaning that most sessions include little to no physical contact. People tend to report feeling a warm sensation accompanied by a sense of calmness and deep relaxation.
Is Reiki right for me?
Reiki is beneficial to those of all walks of life and belief systems, including people with physical and/or emotional traumas. Reiki can help those experiencing loss, heartache, stress, or difficulties in overcoming emotional obstacles.
Testimonials
Here's what people are saying about Metta the Art of Healing
"I had an amazing Reiki session with Monnique, her energy, warmth, and calmness allowed me to have the best experience ever. The clarity I got from that session allowed me to understand that this life is bigger than me. That session put something in motion in me to continue to grow spiritually. I can not wait until my next session. Thank you, Mo, my spiritual mentor.♥️"- Danae W.
My Reiki Training sessions with Mo were phenomenal and I use that word purposefully in its modern meaning and antiquated meaning. It was a phenomenon to me, a person with zero experience, and limited knowledge of energy work, outside of wishing someone “good vibes,” to experience and witness an actual Reiki session and an attunement. Knowing I had zero experience she first gave me Reiki so that I could feel what it was like. The atmosphere created in the space was relaxing and welcoming. I felt safe physically, emotionally, and energetically to be vulnerable in that space and allow whatever was going to happen. After receiving my first Reiki experience, she taught me the origins of the practice and explained the nuances of how it spread from Eastern cultures to Western cultures. She recommended literature for me to read and gave me handouts and information she’d received from her Reiki Masters. During my Reiki II attunement, she planned out activities for me to practice my symbols and psychic work. This was extremely helpful. She also shared with me the techniques she used to remember and use these symbols in practice. Her lessons were very thorough.- Davonne R.

"When given the opportunity to express what you are most passionate about, is when your light shines the brightest."
Everyone wants to feel good in their bodies, that way they can thrive in their lives. Your health and wellness affect all aspects of your life and everyone around you. *When I decided to heal myself and do what made me happy, I found that it was truly in helping others.
There is so much research that supports the fact that we can heal ourselves, but we need someone else to support that notion, to be present with us, and help solidify that space. We need them to literally create an energetic field that benefits us, not only on a physiological level but on an emotional one as well.
As a bodyworker, I focus on structural imbalances and work with my clients to resolve issues causing pain and limiting mobility.
As an energy worker, I focus on clearing away the emotional debris caused by traumas and everyday life. I want my clients to move forward freely experiencing a sense of peace and joyfulness in their lives.
