Monica grew up in Lower Templestowe and attended Presbyterian Ladies’ College. She began studying Chinese Medicine before finding her passion in Osteopathy. She has since completed her osteopathic studies at RMIT as well as participating in Central Mallee Health’s outreach program.

Monica has a strong belief in our body’s ability to heal itself. She treats a broad range of conditions using a variety of both direct and indirect osteopathic techniques. She enjoys assisting her patients by minimising their pain and maximising their ability to move and do the things they love.

She aims to educate patients so they can be informed on how to best heal and maintain their body’s natural wellness.

In Monica’s spare time, she enjoys spending time with her two sons and her partner. She also loves nature, meditation, and travel.
