About Monica Skalsky
Temecula Valley’s Top Massage Therapist
Monica’s Story: How it all Started
I’m so glad you’re here and excited to share my journey with you. My path as a massage therapist began in 1995, after completing my training at the Sports Massage Training Institute and the American Institute of Massage Therapy. Early in my career, I had the privilege of being mentored by Dr. Myk Hungerford, a respected Doctor of Physical Therapy and Massage Therapist with over 35 years of experience. Under her guidance, I developed a deep passion for therapeutic touch and its vital role in restoring balance, health, and overall well-being.
Over the years, I’ve worked alongside doctors and chiropractors while building my own mobile massage practice. My approach has always been holistic—looking beyond symptoms to uncover root causes of pain. Through postural assessments, lifestyle evaluation, and attention to the emotional connection to physical health, I strive to help clients reconnect with themselves and unlock their natural ability to heal.
Today, I’m proud to serve Temecula Valley, Laguna Niguel, Riverside, and surrounding Southern California communities with a highly personalized approach. My specialties include chronic pain relief, post-operative cosmetic surgery care, and advanced lymphatic therapy. As a Vodder-Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) practitioner, I help clients heal after procedures such as tummy tucks, liposuction, Brazilian butt lifts, and mommy makeovers.
Every client is unique, and I believe massage should reflect that. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or seeking a restorative experience, my goal is to provide care that’s tailored specifically to you.
