Meet the Siddha Healings Team
Monica Roman
Founder & Holistic Therapist
Meet Monica, a seasoned Holistic Therapist with over fifteen years of experience in both holistic and traditional therapy. She holds a degree in Kinesiology and Elementary Education from the University of Utah and has delved into the realm of holistic medicine and therapy practices.
With four incredible children - two daughters and two sons - Monica's journey as an educator has been diverse. From teaching kindergarten for a decade to being a University Professor for twelve years and guiding high school students at a treatment center for teenage girls, she has left an indelible mark on young minds. Not to mention her 23 years of teaching group fitness, which is a testament to her commitment to promoting overall well-being.
Monica's therapy philosophy is both profound and playful. She challenges the idea that emotions are superpowers, advocating for vulnerability as a pathway to authentic connections with others and nature. Her belief in the power of facing stored emotions head-on is the driving force behind her healing approach - healing ourselves first is the key to unlocking true transformation.
In the picturesque landscapes of Mindo, Ecuador, Monica founded Siddha Healings - a sanctuary of wellness and personal growth.
Monica's vision for Siddha Healings stems from her understanding that humans require an environment deeply connected to nature to experience genuine healing and self-discovery. Nestled in the serene Andes Mountains, this healing space provides the perfect setting for individuals to reconnect with their bodies and intuition, fostering a life enriched with abundance, connection, and clarity.
Monica teaches all the core modules in the training program. She also teaches all the fitness classes when students are not available to teach.
Mashol Rosero
EMBODYMENT and DANCE INSTRUCTOR
Meet Mashol. Our amazing dance instructor and embodyment instructor.
I started my professional career in movement and dance 20 years ago in Ecuador. I´ve been nourished by various styles of dance, sports and body practices. On the path of Contemporary Dance, I focus on floor work, improvisation, contact and the occupation of non conventional spaces. I've worked and collaborated with numerous artists from various fields and disciplines for their personal creations in Ecuador and internationally.
I completed a master's degree in Dance at the Paris 8 University, a diploma in improvisation dance at the University of Lille, the Exploration and Movement Laboratory (LEM) at the Jacques Lecoq International Theater School in Paris-France and I studied Scenic Design with the Regional Scenic Design Training of Chile.
Certified practitioner at Somasouce®️ (Melissa Michaels /Colorado-USA), I am currently in training on the Ilan Lev Method.
I have had the opportunity to share my work, both artistic and pedagogical, in America, Europe and Asia. I have taught dance at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito; I was a teacher of the Dance Major at the University of the Arts (2019-2022) promoting pedagogy from a somatic approach; and from 2022 until August 2024, I was a professor of the Performing Arts Degree at the University of Cuenca. I continue teaching in the academic and public education system, nowadays in the Dance Major in the Universidad Central del Ecuador.
Mashol teaches all embodyment dance classes.
