Monique de Goey
Facilitator • Bellywork • Pregnancy Zenthai • Lomi Lomi • Craniosacral Balancing
Monique is an experienced multi-disciplinary bodywork therapist, workshop facilitator, and movement play advocate. She brings to her bodywork practice an awareness of the impact of loving touch, her passion for easeful movement and breath, and her deep respect for the many and varied ways we humans experience life. Her intention is to encourage an exploration of oneself, to support a return to a natural state of balance and harmony encouraging the fullness of life to be experienced with greater equanimity.
Monique says...
"Motivation for my work comes from a deepening understanding that freedom of movement and strength in our body profoundly impacts us on all levels - physically, mentally/emotionally and spiritually. My tool bag is filled with my own life experiences including injuries and recoveries, my work with children and adults with various abilities, my clinical experience offering bodywork to people who have experienced complex and developmental trauma, the many people who have graced my mat or table or participated in my workshops, as well as formal trainings. This has given me much understanding and appreciation of, the bio-psycho-social influences on health and wellbeing. Regular movement and play ensures longevity in mobility, agility, strength, dynamic balance, stability and mental acuity. I see my sessions as co-creations, whereby together we explore some movement or other practises relevant to you, as take home options. I have a particular interest in the feet, joint mobility, easeful nasal breathing and nervous system reset. I am passionate about the potency of this therapeutic bodywork and am always excited to share my understandings of it."
Reflections from clients...
“Monique is based in Brisbane, her sessions are amazing. I'm lucky to have connected with her years ago and have been able to see her when I need some deep nurturing care for my body and mind. Of my highest recommendation as a practitioner, healer and kind heart, Mon is a blessing to us. Drop in to meet her for a session if you're feeling run-down, disconnected, injured, or for any human ache, and allow yourself to be de-tangled."

"I was experiencing a phase of extreme fatigue and weakness due to a long-term fatigue problem when I first saw Monique. Her treatment, and subsequent treatments, gave me an enhanced feeling of strength and well-being. I was also having great difficulty walking due to a bad knee at the time of my first treatment. Afterwards, I was very surprised to be able to walk confidently again."
– Denise - student Participating in the belly workshop
"I came to feel that the belly really is the centre of the universe... the various means to communicate with another through the sacred realms of their belly, and to support the integration of that process with the whole body, seems to me as potent and necessary skills as a bodyworker... I'm really grateful for having participated in the last workshop and highly recommend others take the opportunity to attend this next offering... your and your client's bellies will thank you for it."
