Hey, I'm Monica B.

I’m an Ayurveda author, speaker, and workplace wellbeing expert. For nearly two decades, I’ve been making Ayurveda practical for modern life, and spent 15+ years in corporate leadership building businesses, leading teams, and coaching high performers.

I know burnout from both sides. I’ve taught people how to prevent it, and I’ve lived it myself. In 2013, I was a new mom, a new manager, and commuting three hours a day to San Francisco while trying to turn around an underperforming team. I burned out. Ayurveda helped me understand that taking care of ourselves isn’t separate from performing well. It’s what makes sustainable performance possible.

In 2025 I built a van.

January 2025, I was sitting in a Wisconsin hospital waiting for my mom to have heart surgery while wildfires devastated Los Angeles. I wanted to do something to help.

The day after I returned to California, I bought a van.

That van became The Blooming Space, a mobile mental and emotional wellbeing experience designed to help people reduce stress in the moment through breathwork, EFT tapping, aromatherapy, sensory practices, and simple rituals.

I want people to have simple tools they can actually use when life gets hard. Tools that help them feel better, think more clearly, and get back to themselves.

I bring that work to companies and communities through workshops, resiliency training, The Blooming Space, and to individuals through HeyMonicaB, my books, courses, and Ayurveda resources.

My work focuses on:

• Creating healthy and productive work teams, with a focus on revenue to build strong businesses.

• Group training and workshops focused on burnout prevention and sustainable performance

• Stress resilience, focus, and emotional regulation for high-performing teams

• Making Ayurveda accessible for modern life

I believe in taking better care of our bodies and minds in ways that are:

• Realistic
• Supportive
• Human
• Rooted in what’s worked for thousands of years.

Using Ayurveda — the ancient science of life and longevity — I help busy people solve modern, everyday challenges.
