Hi there
My name is Monique. I work with people who are tired of living against themselves.
I spent a long time trying to untangle what was mine from what had been learned, imposed, expected – learning to distinguish hypervigilance from intuition, over-adapting from real connection.
I don’t know everything about this path – I’m still walking it, like you maybe. What I have found so far: nothing needs to be forced, everything needs to be allowed.
It is in that allowing that something settles and life starts to flow again.
My intention
When the inner struggle eases, the outer one does so too.
I offer a space to sense, to feel what belongs to you and what does not. To unlearn what was imposed: the patterns, the adaptations, what you were told you had to be.
To explore your inner world and, little by little, welcome yourself fully.
My path
I have always been curious about people: about what happens on the inside, about what makes us lose ourselves and find our way back.
I have worked in very different contexts – humanitarian, street-level social work, HR, professional integration. Always with people in transition: lost, searching, rebuilding.
What I observed everywhere: we try to fix individuals without questioning what put them under pressure in the first place. For me, people are not broken, they are often responding in healthy ways to systems that are not.
For more than ten years I have been training and exploring: yoga, mindfulness, somatic approaches, the nervous system. To understand from the inside what I accompany.
It is often in moments of doubt and discouragement that we come closest to what we truly are. It is there that we can finally choose ourselves, if we wish to. That is my path, and that is where my work comes from.
