Hi, I am Monika,
My mission is to empower people to break free from the limitations of their past, step into their fullest potential, and embody the most radiant, unstoppable version of themselves.
Through deep healing and nervous system transformation, I help people reclaim their power, cultivate unshakable self-trust, and create a life filled with freedom, abundance, and ease.
My home…
I live and work on the unceded traditional lands of The Quandamooka People, now known as Redland Bay, Queensland, where I’m grateful to share life with my wonderful husband, Craig, and a beautiful community of friends.
I love to empower you to rise…
One of my love languages is words of affirmation; - a way to connect, care and empower others to believe in their dreams, find their voice, and express their unique gifts. It brings me immense joy to support my clients in awakening their innate potential and aligning with their soul’s true purpose.
I love nature and meaningful connections…
I have a deep reverence for nature and an insatiable love for travel, finding profound joy in immersing myself in diverse cultures and forming meaningful connections. One of my greatest passions is guiding others to breathtaking places around the world, where we can come together to heal, reconnect, and restore our Divine essence in harmony with the beauty that surrounds us.
Living from a place of alignment…
Healing from complex trauma opened doors I never imagined possible. Abundance, ease, love, and joy became so much more accessible once I freed my nervous system from survival mode. As I turned toward healing, I began to access what I had longed for my entire life—deep self-awareness, a true sense of belonging, and an inner resourcefulness I never knew existed. Committing to my healing was the most profound and life-changing investment I ever made. This soul-enriching journey not only helped me heal but also led me to true love and purpose.
Where it all began…
My journey into the healing arts began in the most unexpected way—within the wounds of my traumatic childhood. The struggles I faced—anxiety, depression, eating disorders, financial hardship, and unhealthy relationships—became the catalyst for deep inner transformation. Over the years, I followed every calling to heal, peeling back layers of Complex trauma and rediscovering a profound sense of wellbeing within.
We can heal even the darkest of pain…
My path to becoming a trauma therapist was born out of my own healing journey. I deeply understand the pain of unresolved trauma, and I know firsthand how it impacts every aspect of your life—relationships, health, career, and self-worth. With over 10 years of experience in somatic therapy and trauma-informed care, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others move from pain and suffering to profound liberation and reconnection to personal power and inner wisdom.
The bravest thing we’ll ever do…
By healing ourselves, we help to heal the planet… Healing takes courage, commitment and real bravery to move through pain and rise above it. When we lack self-awareness, we are driven to consume, compete, and disconnect. But when we cultivate self-awareness, we begin to live in reciprocity—with ourselves, with others, and with life itself. True healing is a return to wholeness, and it begins the moment we choose to turn inward with love.
My Professional Qualifications
Certified Integrative Somatic Psychotherapist, Clinical Trauma Specialist and Embodiment Coach
I use the wisdom from my lived experience and powerful evidence-based somatic trauma healing methods to help others reclaim their authentic essence, heal relational patterns, and create space for authentic love and connection. It’s never too late to begin the life-changing journey home to self.
Authenticity and integrity are the cornerstone of my practice. I believe we can only take others as deep as we have gone ourselves. True healing requires embodied wisdom, not just knowledge. This is why I am committed to my own inner work—expanding my capacity for introspection, deepening my interpersonal skills, and continuously refining my ability to hold space for transformation. The more I integrate within myself, the more I can guide others toward profound healing, resilience, and self-trust. With over 11 years of personal inner work, this journey has not only deepened my understanding of self but has empowered me to help hundreds of women do the same.
Together, we rise beyond fear, reconnect with our true power, and cultivate a deeper understanding of who we are at our core.

My Methodology
5 R’s of Thriving for Trauma Healing and Personal Growth
Unlike talk therapy alone, my approach focuses on healing trauma stored in the body. I combine somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, and deep subconscious work to create lasting transformation.
Master your nervous system to shift from survival to safety, using somatic techniques, breathwork, and grounding practices.
1. Regulate
Rebuild your relationship with yourself, your emotions, your inner parts of you, to forge safe and supportive connections with others.
2. Reconnect
Release traumatic imprints and reconsolidate your memory to transform the painful past into peaceful present.
3. Release
Step into self-leadership, reclaim your power, confidence, and worthiness, and rewrite the subconscious trauma core beliefs to embody new identity.
4. Reclaim
Cultivate emotional flexibility, strength, and adaptability to create a life beyond trauma—one of joy, love, and deep fulfillment.
5. Resilience
What does it feel like to work with me?
Who I Help
♡ I hold space for those who feel lost, disconnected, or weighed down by pain that hasn’t yet found its voice. I work with trauma survivors, highly sensitive souls, and those healing from childhood wounds, attachment ruptures, and narcissistic abuse. If you feel dysregulated, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or longing to return home to yourself, I want you to know—I am here for you.
You Are the Expert
♡ I am a down-to-earth, sensitive, and deeply compassionate human. Your pain, your patterns, your story—they all make sense. I listen with an open heart, never as the expert on your life, but as a guide helping you reconnect to your inner wisdom. In our work together, every part of you is welcome here—your pain, your coping patterns, your fears, your longings. I see the wisdom in your survival, and I will always meet you with deep understanding, never judgment.
Reclaiming Your Strength
♡ I will hold a mirror to your greatness, gently reflecting back the strength, resilience, and beauty that already lives within you. I will guide you toward your own answers, so you feel empowered to trust yourself more deeply.
A Space for Authentic Healing
♡ We take our time. We don’t rush. We move at the pace of safety. In our sessions, we welcome what is real—without masks, without pretense. We let go, we get honest, we cry, we sit in silence, we move… we heal. Together. There is no "right" way to heal, only the way that honors your nervous system and your story.
A Holistic, Trauma-Informed Approach
♡ My approach blends the latest neuroscience with somatic psychology, nervous system regulation, and spirituality, creating a path to deep, embodied transformation. I bring curiosity, presence, and a deep commitment to your healing. I’ve walked this path myself, healing my own complex trauma, and I understand what it means to do this work. That’s why I prioritize safety, attunement, and collaboration—so you can heal without overwhelm or retraumatization.
Coming Home to Yourself
♡ I won’t tell you who to be—I will hold you as you remember who you truly are. When you’re ready, I will lovingly guide you to step into your power and become the woman you’ve always longed to be.
This is your journey home. I am here with you. 💛
From the bottom of my heart, I’m so glad that you found your way into this safe space … to connect, to heal, to reclaim your sacred birthright to thrive…
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, or explore how we can work together.
