We had the good fortune of connecting with Erica Montani and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Erica, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?

Having my own business is a great challenge, but it gives me the possibility of creating a place where I can share in my own way what I believe is the best. It gives me freedom and that is very important to me. I knew it was not going to be easy at the very beginning, but I decided it was what I really wanted so I decided to go for it.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

I discovered for the first time in meditation and mindfulness with our psychologist, who helped me deal with some issues I was facing when I was a teenager probably about 14 or 15 years old. At that time I probably didn’t know how this was going to change my life forever as it helped me understand what was happening to me and discovered new tools to face what I thought were problems. Since then, I’ve been always into it these spiritual word, practicing and studying. I am definitely fond of meditation which I practiced great part of my life.

After discovering meditation and mindfulness, I decided to go further and to understand where all these practices were coming from, and studied quite a lot . I spent about seven or eight years in a philosophy school, I traveled looking for workshops seminars practices. everything I was able to do, considering these were the 90s or beginning of 2000 so we didn’t have the possibilities we had today as online teaching or Access to different schools or places. And that was the beginning of a great journey. I’ve been a high school teacher for the last 20 years and definitely I believe that helped me merge all I’ve been studying. Right now, Omana is the result of studying and teaching for such a long time: at the very beginning more than 20 years ago, I practiced Reiki with friends, family, people I knew. Opened Akashic records, healing with crystals, family constellation, everything I could, and always kept on studying, until now.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Weston is a very nice city. its main characteristic is that it’s prepared for family life. Weston Town Center where Omana is located has nice places where to drink something or eat something always in a nice and safe environment. Negroni is a new resto that is worth visiting and Lucicano’s has the best ice cream in the area.

If you enjoy biking there are nice places to ride and you can see several people riding everyday.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?

I was blessed with great teachers and guidance who were very generous with me, they constantly shared their knowledge and wisdom. There are so many books that I enjoyed. I can recommend “The power of now” written by Eckhart Tolle
“It didn’t star with you” Mark Wolynn
“Many lives, many masters” Brian Weiss

Probably this books are great for beginners, leading us to reflection and the possibility we have to heal.
