What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology is a powerful practice, a methodology that Monica uses to help you get to where you want to be. Kinesiology comes from an ancient Chinese perspective of the world called “The Five Element Theory”. In Chinese medicine, the five elements help to understand a patient on a deeper level. It’s important to Monica that this lineage of Kinesiology be acknowledged – as it’s sometimes over-looked.

Kinesiology dives deep, beyond the surface, to uncover what's really going on inside your body, using a powerful technique called muscle testing which allows her to access the root cause of your issue, instead of just treating the symptom.

Monica describes it as, “having a heart-to-heart with your body and mind.”

The process can shed light on unconscious behavioural patterns, giving you a better understanding how past events, sometimes traumatic, may impact your  present day decision-making. This can bring about a deeper level of understanding that leads to more positive and permanent change.

This non-invasive method helps identify stress points that might be throwing you off balance. Whether you're a career-driven go-getter, a strong but silent type, or a spiritual seeker – kinesiology can help bring harmony to your body and give you access to a healthier and happier life. It's not just therapy – it's a journey toward self-discovery and authentic living. It’s about taking the time to explore what’s important to you – allowing yourself to become the best version of “you”.

Testimonials

“I went into the session with no expectations and basically had my mind blown. I have tried alternative therapies and counseling in the past, but nothing compares to the accuracy and pace that Mon was able to identify what was happening with my mind and body. Her skill, paired with her fun personality made it easier to confront the things I had been ignoring. I left the session feeling like a huge weight had been removed. I’m convinced anyone who has a session with Mon will find themselves shifting in the right direction, for me – that was both in a personal and professional context. I can’t recommend this enough for anyone seeking positive change. I’m not sure how she does it, I just know that it works.”
