About Monique

I am an experienced bodywork/massage therapist specialising in Zenthai Shiatsu, Thai Foot Massage (teachers: Gwyn Williams - Mt Ninderry Healing Centre, Arnaud L'Hermitte and David Lutt - College OsteoThai) and Heartworks Lomi Lomi (teaher: Stace Callaghan - Mette's Institute) and am continuing my exploration of the more subtle rhythms in the body with Cranio Sacral Therapy studies (teacher: Dhyan Trevor - Cranio Sacral Australia).

My work is underpinned by a wish for all people to be comfortable in their own skin, to have an ease in movement, to trust their own inner knowing - their intuition, and to understand the mind/body connection. My intention is to share a love of being and moving, to encourage an exploration of oneself and to support a return to one's natural state of balance and harmony.

I have always been pysically active, playing sport, riding horses and dancing as a youngster then for many years, working as a street theatre performer and massage therapist. Being fit, supple and strong just came with the territory. Since bringing a more consistent practise of yoga into my life I am learning about being still, sitting with the breath as a point of concentration, allowing the fluctuating mind to quieten and the nervous system to relax, allowing me to simply be in the present moment. Inner quiet and peace is developing. I am gaining knowledge and understanding of cultivating sustainable lifestyle practises.

Kate Pell (Yoga Presence) was my Yoga Teacher Trainer. Kate's openness to all of life's offerings and easy laughter resonates deeply. Inspiration has also come from Clive Sheridan - pranayama and meditaton and joy of life; and Natalie Harris (Calm Kid's Yoga) has enhanced my work with children.

Testimonials

Bodywork Testimonials:

"I have been seeing Monique for about four years and I always enjoy receiving a massage from her, so I am very pleased to be writing a testimonial about her treatments.
It is important for me to feel safe and secure before I allow anyone to touch my body, and with Monique I feel that I am in safe hands. Depending on how I feel on the day I choose either the Heartworks Lomi Lomi or the Zen Thai Shiatsu. The Heartworks Lomi Lomi massage allows me to slow down and to let go whilst in a caring environment. The Zen Thai Shiatsu massage opens up all the stagnant areas in my body, for example my hips and spine. Thank you Monique for your gentle soul and your professional techniques. You have helped me heal."

"Monique de Goey’s treatments have benefited me greatly as a physical performer. As regularly as possible I visit her for maintenance but on a number of occasions Monique has come to my aid without appointment.
On one such occasion I had injured myself mid season of 'Briefs' and was in no fit state to perform aerials that evening. With little time Monique treated me on a dusty floor and I performed that evening.
More recently I injured my neck mid season of Polytoxic’s shows and, once again, Monique came to my aid. Not only with Monique’s treatments was I able to finish all the shows I have also gained greater mobility in my neck than I have had in a very long time.
Monique has a wholistic approach to healing that inspires trust, she gets results and more importantly for me, she genuinely cares. I highly recommend Monique de Goey to anyone. "

"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."

“I have been dealing with an injury I sustained approximately ten years ago snowboarding, which resulted in my left side first rib popping out of place. When I had it realigned by a specialist, the subsequent trauma to the muscles around the first rib area resulted in years of discomfort and weakness. I could not lift as much weight in the gym on my left side and I suffered pins and needle sensations regularly and struggled to sleep in certain positions with my arm.

Having tried various methods of physiotherapy and massage to relieve the issues, I finally come to see Monique. Today, for the first time I no longer experience pins and needles, I sleep without any issues, and in the gym, my left side Is significantly stronger and more consistent than it has been in the last ten years.

Monique takes a genuine interest in the problem and it’s symptoms and spends time analysing where the issue is originating from to get to the root cause for treatment.

After 2 months of regular sessions, I can thoroughly recommend her approach as one, which goes above and beyond that which I have experienced with a massage therapist in the past. Her knowledge of the body and how it operates is exceptional and I have learnt a lot during my short experience under Monique’s care.”

"I am a physical theatre, circus and street performer and I have had Monique work on and with my body over the past 5 years.
Monique in that time has been priceless - as she herself understands the demands of our industry not just on a physical but also an emotional and psychological level.
Monique's ongoing commitment and passion for information, study and treatment has meant she is constantly growing and equipping herself and her clients with more knowledge, care and information.

I appreciate being able to be treated by Monique who relieves my pain, recommends stretches, diet and ongoing care to prevent and nurture.

We call the Zen Thai Shiatsu massage a massage for movers – our bodies relax and respond so well to it."
