Experience
Monika has always had a passion for empowering people to live their best life. For over 15 year Monika has worked as a counsellor and personal advocate to those who were in the most dire of situations. Experiencing a lack of self esteem, homelessness, mental health, domestic/ family violence and justice issues.

After the birth of her son, saw Monika juggling many hats and unfortunately one of them had to come down. Monika’s own weight spiralled out of control as she developed “Busy Woman’s Syndrome” running a business, studying full time, being an attentive partner and first time parent. For the first time she struggled with her weight and discovered it was not a lack of knowledge about food and exercise that kept her from losing the weight. Rather it was a change in mindset and psychology that ultimately set up Monika to lose 10 kgs. These same ‘Psychology of Weight Loss’ principles are now shared with national and international clients in programs and services such as; The Body Beautiful online weight loss program, The Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy weight loss program, personalised coaching and counselling.

Initially completing a degree in Psychology, Monika has gone into private practice adding Wellness Coaching and Hypnosis to her tool-belt of super powers to promote health and wellbeing with her clients and of course help them lose weight when other options have failed.

Monika is an avid student and researcher of nutrition, the mind-body connection and loves to share with those who want to live a better version of themselves everyday. She has a therapeutic philosophy of looking forward by acknowledging the past and letting it go.

Monika lives with her husband and their 2 children in Melbourne.
