How I Support You

Somatic Psychotherapy: I help you reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom to release stress, tension, and unprocessed trauma stored in your nervous system. Using a compassionate and holistic approach, I guide you through gentle somatic (soma = of the body) psychotherapy, helping you heal from the inside out. Together, we’ll uncover the root causes of your challenges—whether it’s anxiety, overwhelm, depression, or feeling stuck—and restore balance to your mind, body, and spirit. By focusing on healing your nervous system, you’ll feel more grounded, connected, and empowered to live life with greater ease and clarity.

Connection: Approximately 70% of what I do comes from establishing a connection with you - a skill developed over 20 years working with people in varying states of emotional distress. I believe that healing occurs through connection, the connection required to connect you back to your true self.

Safety: My intention is that within the space I hold for you, you feel comfortable and open enough to explore your inner world, for it is only within that safety that you witness that everything you seek is already within you.

Burnout can manifest in various forms, in any area of life where there is chronic stress and exhaustion. Such as:

Healthcare worker burnout
Parental burnout and
Entrepreneurial burnout

I understand the daily battles faced by parents, healthcare workers, and entrepreneurs in today's frenetic world, having spent 20+ years working in public mental health systems in 2 countries, being a mother to a young child and running my own business during a period of economic downturn over the last 4 years.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and depleted, know that you're not alone - and that there is a way forward.

I offer an alternative 'nervous system' approach that gets to the root cause of your burnout leading to a healthier more resilient nervous system for lasting wellbeing.

A little about me

Hello there, I'm Monica (RN, MSN)

I am a compassionate and intuitive psychotherapist with an incredibly curious mind. For the past 4 years I have not stopped studying the fields of trauma therapy, somatic therapy and nervous system health.

You see, previously I had been a mental health nurse and was burnt out from witnessing people come in with the same issues time and time again for 20+ years. I did not feel like I was making a difference.

Until I came across a new paradigm of understanding how our mind, body and spirit are interconnected and influence not only our psychological health, but the course of our lives. Now, I couldn't be more fulfilled with the transformational work I get to do.

The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.
