“Monique helped us move from hopelessness to hopefulness. Monique does what she says she is going to do and she's relatable, very responsive and provides honest feedback. Our time with Monique was truly meaningful.”

This practice was built for her.
I'm
Founder and CEO of
Illume Advisory Group
I'm a tender by nature. In most of my relationships— personal and professional — I'm the one who shows up, pays attention, anticipates what's needed, and gives freely. For a long time, I did all of that without receiving much of it in return. I learned that it wasn't because the people around me didn't care. It was simply that it's not a role many people know how to play.
I know what it feels like to hold everything together while running on empty without anyone knowing it. To be the steady one, the resourceful one, the one everyone turns to — and to do it well, even when no one is tending to you.
Illume Advisory Group was born from that knowing. Four years ago I started this practice, and over time it has evolved into something I now consider my greatest gift to people like me. This work brings together everything I am — the nurturer, the mother-energy, the domestic, the detail-oriented — alongside the analyst, the systems thinker, the intuitive, the herbalist. Different depths, same instinct.
This new phase of Illume Advisory is much more than just a service. It's an offering — built by someone who has lived the weight of it, for the people who are still carrying it.
It is an honor to be in service — present, invested, and fully in the work alongside the people I'm here to tend.
This work is holistic by design. The full picture of your life is brought into view — your business or career, your home life, your hobbies, your relationships, all of it.
You'll get to experience the best of me in this space. You can count on me to be grounded and calm, and also honest and direct. You'll be seen in your fullness, spoken to truthfully, and supported fully. This will feel different. You'll see.
And it is always, without exception, held by three things:
Respect for the life you're living. Reverence for the weight you carry. Responsibility for the support we bring.
My connection to plants is ever-present. As a trained Clinical and Spiritual Herbalist, I know that herbal medicine is powerful, and must be revered. Herbs are a part of my daily life. In addition to practicing herbalism, I'm also a mentor and teacher of the craft.

the Lifelong Learner
Reiki. Subtle Energy. The Akashic Records. Tarot. Oracle. Numerology. Cardology. You name it, It's likely that I know about it! I've has trained with some of the best teachers and guides to hone and enhance my natural intuitive gifts (winks in Pluto in Scorpio in the 8th house, and Saturn in the 12th house!).
The best teachers never forget how to be a good student. One thing I will always do is sign up for a class or course! As a Human Design Generator with a 5/1 Profile, I have a natural inclination to investigate and dive deeply into things that pique my interest, with the goal to expand my expertise.
My background is like the threads that combine to create a textile — each one distinct, each one necessary, and together they form something whole. The auditor and the herbalist. The systems thinker and the astrologer. The analyst and the intuitive. All of it woven together into the practice you experience here.
