*the medical practice of Wellpower Functional Medicine, PLLC was closed from 2022-2023 for additional training and refocus. 
Monica brought Functional Medicine and NaPro services to a local pregnancy center for a time until new direction necessitated moving the services to her own practice.  The Wellpower medical practice was re-opened in July 2023 as Functional Fertility Northwest, with a specialty focus on functional medicine and NaPro Technology for reproductive health issues.
