Monique de Goey

~ Zenthai Shiatsu Therapist and Facilitator ~ Pregnancy Zenthai ~ Bellywork ~ Zenthai Flow Facilitator ~ Movement Play Facilitator ~ treatments, trainings, workshops, classes, retreats, festivals

Monique is an experienced multi-disciplinary bodywork therapist 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 passion and specialties in bodywork lie with Zenthai Shiatsu, Pregnancy Zenthai, Internal Organ Bodywork, Craniosacral Balancing and Lomi Lomi.
These therapies cater for a broad range of conditions and support free flow of blood and chi, structural and energetic freedom and nourishment, and encourage a deep felt sense of oneself. Free and easeful movement and breath is maintained, or regained. There may be a releasing of old patterns resulting in a greater acceptance and understanding of oneself manifesting as a quiet inner happiness.

Monique is equally passionate about, and an avid proponent of, regular movement and play to ensure longevity in mobility, agility, strength, dynamic balance, stability and mental acuity.
She is taken with the notion that we live in a body that is designed to move, finding the movement in stillness and the stillness in movement. Our bodies, and our minds, thrive when we move and extend and reach and pull and push and twist and turn, when we exert, and when we rest and feel and listen. When we do this with our body, our mind also becomes freer, expansive and exploratory.

She brings together years of working in physical street theatre, the sharing of playful movement and dance classes with children and adults with various abilities, yoga, mat pilates, and ongoing explorations with various grounded natural movement practices, and her interest in maintaining an easeful nasal breath, to her movement based classes.

Monique has a particular interest in feet and joint health, nervous system reset and easeful nasal breathing patterns.

Currently Monique offers treatments by appointment, from a home based clinic in Brisbane.
Get in touch to make a booking or for more information via phone or email.

“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.”

“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.”
