Who I Am

My Mission

My mission with Your Life Aquatic is to help people be in the water. To be comfortable, relaxed and safe as possible. I believe every person is different and so everyone's path to a great relationship with the water should be uniquely tailored to them.

Hi! My name is Monica and I want to introduce you to the water and help you be in it. I’m an actor mom in Atwater Village, thousands of miles from my swim geek/lifeguard/babysitting/4-H childhood in Minnesota. I have a BFA in Communication Arts with a Theatre concentration. As my love of the industry and LA has grown in the decade I’ve been here, I wanted a business that would give my life stability yet allow me the flexibility to keep acting. I worked at a swim school in Sherman Oaks for 6 years and served as teacher, manager, scheduler, trainer, and finally created their in home lesson program in 2017. I spent two summers teaching in client’s homes with their curriculum, but I felt pulled in a very different direction and the timing was right to launch my own business. I am Autism Swim approved for 2020 (check out my profile here). I love teaching people of all ages how to breathe, relax, float and swim. I am so excited to have my own little mobile swim school and look forward to helping you and your family find joy and relaxation in and around the water.
