Welcome!  I'm so glad you are here...

I'm Monique and I'm a trained and experienced Somatic Psychotherapist.  I'm deeply passionate about supporting women just like you to awaken the wild within.

So many of us have become disconnected from our instincts, from our wild feminine nature, from our innate wisdom and intuition.  Not only has life become fast paced, leaving us tethered constantly to our devices and living in a state of ongoing availability to others, but many of us have survived a childhood or destructive relationship where our basic needs for love and protection were not met.  This lack of love and then estrangement from Self can leave us disconnected, overriding our instincts and ultimately longing for greater depth in our lives and greater intimacy with others.  

Secure Base, Safe Haven...

In our attempts to give and receive love, 
things can go wrong, very wrong,
and we miss that which we most need…
To feel heard, validated, understood, respected,
​prioritised and LOVED.

If only it was about having multiple ways to connect…

The truth is that when we learn to drop into our body and to really listen with curiosity and compassion, what's often underneath all the pain and confusion is our innate wisdom which is dying to express what we really feel and need in our love relationships.  When this can also be felt and received by the other, we create a container for more security, resilience, greater interdependence, deeper trust, playfulness and support.

We create a safe haven to lean into and a secure base
from which to explore the world independently.
We invite a more intimate way of connecting with those we love.

It’s actually doable when you have the map, and you don’t have to do it alone…

Journey...

The information imparted and the tools and practices experienced
​in my service & programs are holistic and life changing.

I will empower you to make any necessary
behavioural changes, from the inside out.

We will explore any adaptations you've developed
that constrict what's possible in experiencing love.

This journey will help you uncover your attachment style, 
where it came from and how it plays 
​out in your everyday relationships.

You will learn both the advantages and disadvantages
of your attachment style, and even that of your loved one.

You’ll learn to identify the attachment style of others
and what to look for and what to walk away from when dating
so as to serve what you uniquely need to experience love.

We will explore letting go of resentment
and find out what true forgiveness requires.

Everyone lives with an internal heart wound.
We will uncover this wound gently and compassionately
and discover the gifts it has to offer.

I will teach you how to come back 
to an internal sense of emotional security.
Security is wired into us and even if we’ve never experienced it
in relationship before, we can certainly find and fertilize it now.

It's Time...

It's time…its time to make room
for the quality of love you seek,
the quality of love you deserve.

It’s time to let go
of protesting what you don’t want,
staying when it’s time to go
and putting other’s needs ahead of your own.

It’s time to let go
of fearful avoiding, dismissing and blocking
difficult emotional conversations.

It’s time to let go of blaming
​and learn to lean into self-inquiry.
 
It’s time to let go
of guilt and shame and embrace self-compassion.

It’s time to set boundaries as an act of self-care.

It’s time to become curious about your patterns of relating
and be kind to yourself and others about theirs.

It’s time to look through a different lens to see the love that is actually already there.

It’s time to open your heart to a new way to love.

Sound scary?  Hopeful?  Curious to know more?
L e t ' s  T a k e  A  B r e a t h . . . a h h h h h h h.

We will begin exactly where you are,
with whatever’s showing up for you in your life right now
and we will walk this path gently…together.

This journey is one of courage,
one that requires a whole hearted YES,
a deep commitment and a willingness to work
from the inside out…
and with me as your openhearted,
compassionate Guide to Thrive,
it’s entirely possible…
I promise you.

Whether you are a mother, a sister, a lover or a friend…
loving intimately is a gift
that just makes life a hell of a lot more worth living.
