About Me
MEET MONIQUE
I’m Monique, i'm a qualified and insured massage therapist and I have spent over thirty years navigating the landscapes of human health and emotion. My journey is a blend of clinical experience powered by a deep passion for the restorative power of holistic therapy.
​
Having served as the primary carer for my daughter for 40 years, I bring a profound, lived understanding of resilience and compassion to my practice. My work has been recognised for its depth and "high degree of psychological insight".
I believe true healing begins with a regulated nervous system. My approach incorporates principles from trauma recovery and my interest in Polyvagal Theory and neurodiversity. By creating an environment that supports deep safety, I help you transition from a state of stress into restorative rest, cultivating a space for genuine connection and physical relief.
