Meet Monika
I graduated from the Southern School of Natural Therapies in Melbourne with a Bachelor of Health Science degree in Western Herbal Medicine. I have a strong passion for the holistic approach to disease, where herbs are used as supporting agents to a person’s dietary and lifestyle changes to create a long-lasting improvement of health and the quality of life.
​
As a herbal medicine practitioner, I strive to provide my clients with personalised treatment protocols based on a modern understanding of herbs backed by science and traditional green wisdom.
​
I have an immense appreciation for modern medicine and science – how they help to illuminate some of the human body’s and world’s workings. I have also a deep respect for the time-tested traditional wisdom. I feel that many of our discontents that lead to behaviours that negatively affect our health stem from our disconnection with nature, others and ourselves. Some of our basic needs, such as daily physical activity, creative expression or adequate periods of rest, are frequently woefully neglected. So, what can we recreate in our daily lives that can make us feel better and healthier?
Why Western Herbal Medicne?
I can’t think of any health condition where the use of herbs would not be beneficial in some capacity. You are welcome to contact me to arrange for a free 15 minutes session to discuss your specific needs and find out how I can be of value to you.
