As an author, speaker, consultant, and wellness expert, Monica is renowned for her unique ability to translate complex holistic health concepts into practical, engaging, and life-enhancing strategies that audiences can immediately understand and apply.
Monica has been a sought-after presenter and educator for more than 30 years, delivering high-level workshops and keynote presentations at conferences and events across more than 15 countries worldwide.
Her journey to becoming an internationally respected educator in health and wellbeing has been both diverse and deeply personal shaping the innovative and integrative approach for which she is widely recognised today.
Originally departing Australia for the UK in 1975 to pursue a career in classical dance, Monica later joined BBC Television in 1977, training as a film and television make-up artist. Her passion for movement and performance eventually led her into the fitness industry in 1985, after meeting the personal trainer and choreographer to John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis, stars of the film Perfect.
Inspired to expand her expertise, Monica travelled to Los Angeles where she gained certification with ACE (American Council on Exercise), launching an extensive professional career in health and fitness.
In the early 1990s, Monica’s career was unexpectedly interrupted by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME). Determined to restore her health and vitality, she embarked on an intensive personal and professional journey studying Eastern philosophies and healing disciplines including Shiatsu, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hatha Yoga, Qi Gong, and Zen Buddhism.
Following more than seven years of research, study, and development integrating Western fitness principles with Eastern wellness practices, Monica created the ChiBall Method™, a groundbreaking mind-body modality that reached over 26 countries and has been translated into five languages.
Today, Monica is recognised internationally for her pioneering contribution to holistic health education and her ability to inspire audiences with practical, innovative approaches to wellbeing, resilience, and human potential.’
