Advaya Healing Bodywork Reviews

After living with a sore neck for about 4 years and having tried just about every modality under the sun, I found Mondi! He has made the world of difference to my wellbeing, I am extremely grateful, I no longer go to bed and wake up with a sore neck. I have learnt practical skills to look after my neck between appointments and would highly recommend the myofascial technique for anyone experiencing pain and tightness in their body. 🙌 Michelle McLachlan

Thank you for your wonderful review Michelle! Love(d) working with you... and, especially as a therapist, there are few things more rewarding that seeing clients like you making improvements. Slowly, gradually, but sustainably and always with the long-term in mind. I am going to miss you when you do not need me anymore...

I had the pleasure of receiving bodywork from Mondi, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt comfortable and at ease in a welcoming and professional environment. Mondi is a skilled and intuitive healer who truly listens to your needs and tailors the treatment accordingly. Throughout the sessions, I felt safe and confident in his care, knowing that he was focused on helping me find relief and healing. The treatments have had a significant positive impact on my well-being, leaving me feeling refreshed and balanced after each session. I trust Mondi completely and highly recommend his services to anyone seeking bodywork. His approach is both effective and compassionate, and I feel lucky to have worked with him.

I first met Mondi a few months ago, through a mutual friend who couldn't recommend Advaya Healing Bodywork enough! When I first arrived for my appointment I was met by Mondi who instantly made me feel at ease with his calm manner and good sense of humour. I first came to Mondi about some shoulder pain I was having after a fall I had. But as pretty much everything in your body is connected, he is now working all over. I have old injuries from over 20 years ago that he's working on now, from my football playing days, 2 pulled groins, repetitive movements as I'm a baker, lifting heavy items, the list goes on. I have never heard of Myofacial Release before so I was intrigued to find out what it was, and wow, what a game changer!! It has transformed my posture, straightened a twist in my spine, my shoulders were uneven and that has been rectified, my hips can now lie flat on a surface, my body feels younger again! I've also had Thoracic Release treatment done, I can breath easier, deeper and smoother, it's like having an air filter changed! I would highly recommend Mondi at Advaya Healing Bodywork!

Amazing, amazing words Graham, and I cannot express how grateful I am to you for posting them. Absolute respect for the hard work you're putting into yourself and your family. Honestly, you are a true gem here at Advaya, and one I hope to welcome and see many more times... Respect.

I am incredibly grateful for having found Mondi. His validation and understanding for all that you are and have been through is rare to find in a practitioner. This acknowledgment is put into practice with utmost professionalism and care. His bodywork and healing skills releasing trauma and pain. I’m a year into recovery from severe spinal injuries, and I was at a sticking point in my journey where I was too frightened to try anything new for fear of further pain or injury. I’ve had 3 appointments with Mondi and his treatment has had instant results, it’s given me back hope and confidence for the future. I know recovery is not linear but I do know with Mondi’s guidance I will get there. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏

Utterly life-changing work. Working with Mondi has been one of the most healing and transformative things I have done in my life. Before I started this work, I had been stuck in fight-or-flight/survival mode for many years. I had barely slept for the previous 8 months (felt like 2-3 hours a night), and was taking antidepressants, anti-psychotics, and benzodiazepines to stabilize my state. Probably in part due to autism spectrum, I have a very sensitive nervous system. After a month or two of working with Mondi, I was feeling much calmer and safer in myself. My posture had completely transformed, my breathing was much deeper, and I was off all of the medications. I would still go into panic at times, but this was getting less and less intense. Fast forward another 3 months, I'm feeling the calmest and happiest I've ever been in my life - absolutely flourishing. Mondi has an incredibly kind and generous nature, and I felt held with deep respect and care at all times. His deep knowledge of the nervous system and body is profound - on a whole different level from anything else I have encountered. Forever grateful for this work, and your help Mondi. Has been incredibly healing and transformative.

I had no idea about fascia until my friend suggested I try out Mondi's bodyworks treatment at Advaya. It's been a game-changer! Mondi really listens to what you need & explains everything in a way that totally makes sense. I noticed a significant reduction in pain, particularly in my lower back, shoulders, and neck after just a few fascia release treatments targeting various areas of my body. The bodyworks treatment at Advaya works like Magic! - Thank you

A neighbour reffered me to Mondi at Advaya when i had a bad fall that left me not only sore in various spots but left my neck out so bad that i couldnt move it at all and even talking and eating was getting painful. One session with Mondi and my neck was moving the very next day. I could have stopped with one session but continued. I have seen numerous positive changes in my body. After my fall my shoulders were visibly uneven (possibly even before the fall). A few sessions in and my shoulders are now even and my posture better than ever. My shoulders sit squarer and upright. My lower back pain is gone. A bad knee that kept buckling and would be in pain if i went for walks/runs is no longer giving me trouble. Mondi has been extremely professional, is very respectful of your body and shows care for his clients. He is very knowleagable about the body and his fascia treatments work like magic! Truly a godsend. I cant wait to see how much further my transformation goes! Don't hesitate to give this a try!

I can not say enough GREAT things about Advaya Healing Bodywork. Mondi's treatment is outstanding. He show's empathy and respect at all times. He is so knowledgeable and gifted at what he does and explains things so well and made me laugh at times I wanted to cry. He is the kindest, most caring, empathetic knowledgeable therapist/ person and really listens. He looks at the whole body and explains things so I can understand. I look forward to each treatment and truly walk away with relief. Thank you so much Mondi! If I could give it more then 5 stars, I would.

Fascia bodywork therapy with Mondi is an incredible healing experience and something I always look forward to. Mondi has the ability to make you feel like you're his only client. He's thoroughly professional and respectful and explains his work so you get a real understanding of what fascia is. I've had deep tissue massage in the past for tight muscles that can be painful but Mondi's bodywork is quite different, it is gentle, painless and very relaxing. He is passionate about his work and really wants to help you feel your best self and personalises each season around any concerns you have. I feel very fortunate to have found Advaya Healing

Best bodywork and healing! Before I met Mondi, I didn’t even know about fascia or that it exists. I’ve been to so many different specialists with back and neck pain. No-one was able to help me until someone referred me to Mondi. He is very respectful and really listens to you. He made me feel comfortable from the get-go and explains everything so well, while doing the sessions. I always look forward to my sessions as it is so relaxing and pain free. No more back or neck pain and I feel fantastic.

As someone with a highly physical job, the stresses on the body from working on concrete floors all day, lifting heavy items, constantly bending and climbing on equipment require me to have some form of muscle and body healing. Prior to visiting Advaya Healing I have had many deep tissue massages to relive tension in my neck back legs and ankles and have visited physio as have had an on going back issue for the past 2 and a half years. Raymond's caring and passionate nature about his work makes you feel welcome. Upon his intake assessment he takes the time to get to know who he is working with and explains his history and how he got to where he is today. I have had many appointments with Raymond and I can say the results are incredible, he has pin pointed the issues with my back and started releasing the muscles that are causing the constant pull on my back. Raymond's knowledge of the human body is astounding. The qualifications he has built and worldwide knowledge he has aquired over the year's you would find it hard to find some one else more knowledgeable in his field in our country.

I'm not one to leave reviews on pages as the written words doesn't aways express what you actually feel. I have had three treatments with Mondi and after each of these there was a difference, a change. Gradually an old injury is responding, to me it feels like I'm on the way to recovery, treating not only this more obvious injury but caring for the whole body along the way. Thanks :)

I first went to see Raymond for an issue on my TMJ, blocked jaw and neck pain. After trying other avenues, I found the practices used at Advaya working like magic and incredibly helpful to solve those issues. I have had a few fascia release treatments since, targeting the whole body and working from the feet up, and I deeply enjoyed all of them. Raymond's ability to listen to the client's needs, together with his remarkable intuitive skills, allows him to quickly identify the points on the body that need more attention. His expertise and profound knowledge of the human body is immediately evident once he starts explaining the healing process he will approach. His healing work is not only targeted at the physical level, but as a holistic practitioner he also supports the emotional body with mastery. Raymond is very respectful, passionate about his work and really caring about making a difference for his clients. His studio is always clean and warm. I particularly want to mention his amazingly comfortable massage table and a heated crystal mat to lay on, which instantly puts the client at ease and open to receive the best healing bodywork experience! Thank you Raymond for embarking onto the journey of becoming such a competent bodywork practitioner and bringing so much relief for all those blessed humans that cross your path!

The healing received, both physical and emotional, has been a very humbling experience for me. Mondi’s intuitive technique always guides him to the area of my body that needs work, and he always allows some time post-release for integration of the experience which is something I really value. I always feel respected and safe in his hands. Both my chiropractor and yoga practice have seen a significant improvement, and my emotional health has started to reach balance. Thank you Mondi for offering this deep level of bodywork!
