My Story

My name is Monnica and I am a Mind Body Reconnect Practitioner. I have personally experienced the challenges of chronic illness and not knowing where to turn next. That road can be dark and lonely for many. When I had exhausted all options in allopathic medicine, I found relief from practicing techniques which are rooted in strong scientific evidence- neuroplasticity. We all have it ! I previously practiced as an Occupational Therapist in Australia, where I worked across many different settings. Paediatrics, mental health, spinal cord injuries, general hospital work and lastly teaching Neuroscience at Curtin University. It was during this time that I had a serious medical complication take place which landed me in hospital a few times and then placed me in bed for many months. Everyday tasks were beyond a challenge and we also had two very small children who depended on me. My body ached all over, I was dizzy everyday for over 6 months, extremely fatigued, anxious about where life was possibly leading me, low body mass,  and then sleep disorders soon developed. I was so fatigued- yet couldn't sleep. The medical complication resolved itself within 2 years. It was called Hypophosphatemia post iron infusion. It was very serious for a very long time and the circular root of doctors appointments, blood tests, scans and hospital visits become the norm. I managed to heal from this illness only to be whacked with a secondary set of issues post one of the Covid Vaccines. Shortly following vaccination, my body flooded with severe pins and needles all over. Head to toe, completely covered for months. I was diagnosed with small fibre neuroapthy and given no indication of whether I would heal or not. And the Drs I was seeing at the time mentioned it was a progressive disorder, however due to the virus and vaccines being so new it was out of their knowledge. As the years went on so did the pain and anguish. Complete despair that the person I knew was fading away by and illness no one knew how to manage. I lost my ability to care for my children, paint, draw, drive, walk, socialise normally and make meals. How was I in a worse position than I hd been the year prior. Clearly my body did not like things being injected into it. We spent thousands on treatments and medications and supplements. All of which did not shift the needle (pun intended) very much. Flares were constant but the pain never left. Something kept calling me back to neuroscience and believing the answer was already somewhere in-front of me. I delved into a program with an amazing coach and slowly over the months some of my most severe symptoms started to ease up. I kept going but the road was not linear. It was so up and down and I had a lot of doubts at times. I knew returning to Universirty was not the right answer for me and that all of this could not have been for nothing. So I embarked on further training and qualified as a Mind Body Reconnect Practitioner. I now help people recover from chronic illness such as Long Covid/Long Vaccine, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, IBS, Migraines and many many more. It is a privilege to share my story and help you on the path to your own healing. Our bodies and minds are more powerful then we give them credit.  ​
