About Us
Meet Dra. Mónica
Born and raised in Sonoma County, Dra. Mónica Vigil-Albor, a first-generation Latina, developed a deep curiosity about the human body from an early age. Her passion for sports and outdoor activities led her to pursue a career in human movement, earning a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Sonoma State University in 2017. In 2020, Dra. Vigil-Albor became a licensed massage therapist through the National Holistic Institute and established her own practice, Puro Movimiento, which reflects her belief that movement therapy is the foundation of well-being. Dedicated to holistic health, she finds the human body's complexities fascinating and advocates for movement as the best form of medicine, akin to chiropractic care. Committed to expanding her expertise, she graduated with her degree of Doctor of Chiropractic from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, California in June 2025. Dra. Vigil-Albor's next educational journey is in Cuernavaca, México where she will continue to deepen and strengthen her ancestral healing practices. Beyond her professional pursuits, she enjoys time with familia, playing rugby, hiking, backpacking, and traveling, embracing an active lifestyle that aligns with her philosophy of health and wellness.
Mission
Puro Movimiento is dedicated to deep intentional healing, emphasizing the importance of understanding the root cause of the problem as the first step towards the solution. It focuses on redefining the mind, soul, and body connection, promoting healing from the inside-out. This holistic approach is facilitated through individualized movement therapy, the expertise of a licensed massage therapist, manual therapy, breath work, and chiropractic care, all aimed at guiding individuals toward a longer, healthier life.
Vision
To create a healing sanctuary that bridges ancestral healing practices with modern evidence-based research, we incorporate various approaches such as chiropractic care and movement therapy. By weaving together the old and the new, along with the expertise of a licensed massage therapist, we create a holistic framework that respects cultural heritage while elevating outcomes through informed, research-supported care.
