Today we’d like to introduce you to Monica Le Baron.
Monica, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
A few years ago, I was anxious, chronically stressed, and suffering from insomnia and pain.
As a woman, I found it easier to show up for everyone else before ever thinking about myself. I thought that spending time on self-care was selfish.
But something was seriously wrong. I felt unhappy, unworthy, and unlovable. I wasn’t sure how to process my feelings, which made me feel even worse. I had no idea what to do, so I started researching anything to help me feel better.
I tried psychotherapy, acupuncture, self-help books, and every other healing modality I could find. While some of them helped me feel a little better, nothing gave me the relief I wanted most.
It wasn’t until I found yoga therapy that my life began to change. With yoga therapy, I found what I’d been searching for and so much more.
I learned simple techniques that helped me become more aware of my body, feel calmer, fall asleep at night, and feel rested in the morning. I started getting eight hours of sleep each night.
This was life-changing after so many years of insomnia!
My mood improved, I had more energy, I felt more focused, and I could get more work done with less effort. By taking ownership of my healing and happiness, I discovered joy again.
Yoga therapy helped me develop self-love and deeper compassion to heal past issues, reconnect with my body so that I can understand what it needs to be at its best, release stress and anxiety so that I can live in the present, and finally feel rested after getting a good night’s sleep.
This is why I became a yoga therapist. It has changed my life for the better, and I want to help other ambitious women heal, rediscover the joy in their lives and finally get a good night’s rest.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Pff!
It has been a bumpy road, with challenges, lessons, and many things to be grateful for, as well.
The most difficult part of being a sleep coach and yoga therapist is that I have to experience and heal my struggles first before being able to support others. It sounds obvious, but it takes a lot of patience and daily work.
I know that the tools I use work because they help me to overcome my sleep, anxiety, and depression struggles. They are simple, effective, and portable, and with time I make them even simpler, so my clients don’t need to spend months to see sustainable upgrades in their sleep.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a sleep coach and certified yoga therapist who specializes in helping women with sleep disorders get a good night’s rest.
Using my signature program, Sleep Simplified, I have helped hundreds of clients overcome insomnia, sleep apnea, and sleep deprivation. After just one session, my clients have been able to get two extra hours of restful sleep, wake up fewer times in the middle of the night, and fall asleep within minutes of their heads hitting the pillow.
What I’m most proud is that I used my journey from corporate burnout and dealing with anxiety, insomnia and depression to develop simple yet effective practices that are now helping hundreds of women finish the stress cycle, reset their nervous system and balance the layers of their being (physical, psycho-emotional, energetic, wisdom, and bliss).
My calming presence and the simplicity of my coaching program is what sets me apart from other yoga therapist and sleep coaches. My tools are so simple that people are skeptical at the beginning, and once they try them, they are excited to use them in their daily life.
And when clients put their 50%, their sleep quality boosts in no time. And the best part is that they get to use the tools forever and not have to depend on me so they can have life-changing results.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
In my opinion, overnight success takes years, and it’s never one quality that helps you climb the success ladder.
But if I had to pick one, I would say resilience.
I’m living proof that my simple yoga therapy tools work. I use my struggles with insomnia, anxiety, and depression to help others get a good night’s rest and live a joyful life.
That’s why it’s so important to me to keep doing my internal work and keep things extra simple and doable, so my clients can do the work and experience faster and more profound sleep transformation even if they have a hectic schedule.
