ABOUT Monique

A thoughtful approach to therapeutic bodywork

My approach to bodywork is grounded in the understanding that the body functions as an interconnected system. I combine specialized training in lymphatic therapy, oncology massage and therapeutic bodywork with an individualized approach to each client and their needs.

I am a Certified Vodder-Trained therapist in all three Levels, with training in Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) and Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), including compression bandaging, therapeutic exercise, skin care and client education. My continuing education also includes oncology massage, breast cancer rehabilitation through Klose Training, specialized scar tissue therapy, structural myofascial therapy and other therapeutic massage approaches.

My interest in oncology and lymphatic care is also deeply personal. Having experienced cancer myself, living with the ongoing challenges and management of lymphedema, and having supported loved ones through their own cancer journeys, I understand that treatment and recovery can affect much more than the area being treated. These experiences have shaped the way I work—with sensitivity, respect and an appreciation for each person's individual experience.

Alongside my lymphatic and oncology-focused work, I draw from a broad background of over 1000 hours of training in therapeutic massage and bodywork, allowing sessions to be adapted to the person rather than limited to a single technique.

Care is always individualized, thoughtful and guided by where you are today.
