Hi, I’m Monica Skalsky, a seasoned massage therapist with 30 years of experience. My journey began in 1994 at the esteemed American Institute of Massage Therapy, where I had the privilege of learning from the renowned Dr. Myk Hungerford. Under her guidance, I honed my skills in sports massage therapy, driven by a passion for excellence and a commitment to providing exceptional care to my clients. Today, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving individuals seeking wellness and relaxation through my expertise and knowledge.

My career began while I was in school with 400+ hours of volunteer work at various sporting events. I saw about 2000 athletes within that time and gained so much experience and knowledge pertaining to a multitude of injuries. Our school was one of the very few that was invited to work on the elite athletes of the Iron Man in Hawaii with massage therapy being a vital part of their performance. I also had the opportunity to work with our Olympic athletes during their pre-trials and I felt so honored to be a part of that experience.

After graduating, I spent the first half of my journey collaborating with a multitude of doctors where I was able to facilitate healing through various injuries while in turn building my private practice. In 2013, Balanced was born with Whittier being our prime service area. We have since expanded to serve Chino Hills and surrounding cities. In addition, I was also able to share my knowledge through teaching and mentoring full time at the National Holistic Institute for several years.

Having the opportunity to pass on my knowledge and ignite the passion for massage therapy in others had been truly rewarding. I am humbled to work alongside so many phenomenal, talented therapists. Though I have gained so much knowledge of the human body and have seen the uniqueness is every individual through the years, I will always be a life-long learner in the field of healthcare.

I am truly grateful for that we have collectively created a space of trusted massage therapists where the people in our communities can feel safe and nutured through professional mobile massage therapy.
