About
The Heart and Hands Behind Restored with Mon
Hey, I’m Mon—the heart and hands behind Restored with Mon. My path to massage therapy wasn’t a straight line, but rather a winding journey shaped by years of holding space for others. Before I ever laid hands in practice, I learned the power of deep listening, of showing up with care, of creating spaces where people feel truly seen. That same intention guides every session I offer.
A Journey Rooted in Care
For nearly a decade, I worked in community services—supporting individuals in housing and homelessness services in Melbourne, and later advocating for LGBTQIA+ communities at the LGBT Centre in New York City. These experiences taught me the profound importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment where every individual feels seen, supported, and respected. I carry that understanding into my practice, ensuring that when you step into my care, you feel met exactly where you are, without expectation or judgment.
Hands That Restore
I hold a Diploma of Remedial Massage (HLT52021), equipping me with the knowledge and techniques to support your body’s needs with both skill and intuition. My continued learning includes:
Certificate of Pregnancy Massage | 2024
Diploma of Community Services Work | 2013
Bachelor of Applied Social Science (BAppSocSc) | 2017
First Aid Level 2 | 2024
I’m a proud member of the Association of Massage Therapists (AMT), committed to ethical, evidence-based practice, and part of the Stuart Hinds Inner Circle—staying attuned to the latest techniques in soft tissue therapy. But more than titles or credentials, what matters most is how you feel in my hands: safe, supported, and restored.
A Safe Space
Restored with Mon is more than a massage service—it’s a space to exhale. A space where your body is honoured, your boundaries respected, and your needs heard. I warmly welcome LGBTIQ+ individuals, all identities, expressions, and pronouns. Your comfort is at the heart of my practice, and every treatment is shaped around what feels right for you.
The Art of Restoration
Massage isn’t just about easing tension—it’s about reconnecting with yourself. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with an intuitive awareness of how stress, fatigue, and emotional weight settle into the body. Each session is carefully crafted to not just release physical discomfort but to invite in ease, balance, and a deeper sense of wellbeing. Whether you need deep tissue work to unravel tight muscles or a gentle, grounding touch to soothe your nervous system, I’m here to meet you where you are.
Where You’ll Find Me
To make restorative care accessible, I offer both in-clinic and mobile massage services.
In-Clinic: You can find me at Twentynine in Kyneton and The Ritual Skin & Wellness Clinic in Gisborne—both spaces designed to help you feel at home in your body.
Mobile Massage: For pregnant and postpartum clients, I offer in-home sessions, knowing how essential it is to receive care without having to leave your space. This allows for rest and recovery exactly where you need it most.
Please note: Mobile massage services are exclusively available to individuals who identify as women or birthing people.
