  • SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATION WORK (SCW)

    SCW provides an opportunity to work with any system. The personal: physical self, emotional self, intellectual self, spiritual self. The interpersonal: familial, friend group, workplace, local/national/global communities. The non-human: places, objects, animals, the natural world.

    Through generations, all systems experience rupture. SCW offers the possibility to find the source of the rupture within a system & begin a mending process. Together in circle, we utilize the 3 orders of love - belonging, social order, give & take - to open a space for love to return to the system.

    Let's explore.

  • ME + YOU

    Experience an intimate, intuitive & emergent approach to one on one work. In person, outside, online, we discover the ideal space where you can show up exactly as you are & unpack the load you carry. Together we unpack & ask the questions: where did this come from; where am i headed now & does this still serve me; and, what is missing for the journey ahead?

    1 on 1 offerings:
    lifeskills coaching, expressive arts therapy, systemic work, tabletop constellations, embodiment practices.

    Let's connect.

    Let's invoke.

my work is mediated by the wisdom of the body

Embodiment

is a deep settling into our intrinsic knowing, our sovereign self. It is a courageous act of standing in the naked heart of our truths & welcoming them all. Presencing our human body reminds us to presence the Earth body & the gift is health both personal & global.

welcome to my metaphor

Hearth

encompasses many of the values i bring with me in the spaces & communities i serve. Within this word we find: art, ear, heart, earth. To be a hearth is to convene folks around a fire that warms, to share a common intention & collectively tend the fire & unlock the alchemical potential that only heat brings.

“I have found Monique brings peace in her healing. Calm, open, warm & inviting. Meeting & connecting in the unique maps of people’s realities is a great strength in Monique’s intuitive abilities in healing. I have worked through many forms of western medicine (prescriptions & therapy) which have helped me immensely, but now I am at a stage where I long for healing, beyond that of problem solving. Interestingly, as I soon as I had made this a personal intention, Monique appeared & we began our work together.

I recommend Monique for those who are ready to heal.”
