PHILOSOPHY
We each have a unique history and our own individual ways of dealing
with it. When we experience disappointment, heartache, physical pain,
or injustice, it's common to create a natural protective distance. This
may manifest as anger, indifference, withdrawal, or deepen into
symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Somatic based therapies such as EMDR and Somatic Transformation explore
the interconnection between our physical and emotional states of being.
There is recognition of how traumatic stress manifests in the body.
These approaches remove the blocks that prevent our capacity for loving
relationships, joy, and living life fully.
Monica has acquired her profound understanding and expertise through
years of training and experience. She combines this with her formal
education and a commitment to her own contemplative practices of
yoga and mindfulness meditation in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh.
She has attended mindfulness retreats in Plum Village, France, Deer
Park,
California, and Mountain Lamp Community, Washington and practices
meditation with the Mindfulness Community of Victoria.
