ABOUT ME

Monica Halper melt method teacher

Monica Halper
Thoughtful Movement
 

Hi, I'm Monica.

I'm a movement and self-care practitioner with a particular interest in helping people understand their bodies and find more ease and confidence in how they move.

My work brings together MELT Method, Neurokinetic Therapy, Pilates and other movement practices, allowing me to tailor sessions to the individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

My training

I have been teaching MELT Method since 2014, yoga since 2001, and Pilates since 2006. My training includes Neurokinetic Therapy, anatomy and movement assessment, Pilates, yoga and specialist postnatal and women's health education.

My approach

I'm fascinated by the way our bodies adapt and compensate. My aim is to help you explore those patterns with curiosity, develop greater awareness and discover practical strategies that support the way you want to move and live.

The journey continues —

I love my work, and there is always more to learn.

ABOUT MELT

A little more ease.  A little more connection.

MELT is a gentle self-care approach that invites you to slow down, tune in and pay attention to how your body feels.

I love MELT because instead of forcing, stretching or pushing your body harder, it's about

listening, exploring and finding ways to create a little more comfort, connection, and ease.

You don't have to be flexible, fit or experienced to begin. You simply need to be curious about your body.

LISTEN

Slow down and notice what's happening in your body. MELT encourages you to become curious about sensations and movement rather than simply pushing through them or chasing pain.

EXPLORE

Using specially designed roller, therapy balls and the Fascia Hydrator, you'll discover simple compression, breathing and movement techniques that can be adapted to your body and your needs.

REFINE

With practice in this proactive approach, you may begin to notice changes in how your body feels and moves — and develop greater confidence in understanding what it needs to move well with less pain.

ABOUT NEUROKINETIC THERAPY

Change your brain.  Change your body.

Pain or dysfunction isn't always coming from the place that hurts. Sometimes the body has developed patterns of compensation that can affect how we move, feel and function.

NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) uses movement and touch assessments to explore these patterns and identify dysfunctional relationships within the body that may be contributing to the problem.

I use the NKT protocol alongside a variety of hands-on techniques and movement strategies, adapting the work to what we find in our investigation.  Treatments are private in-person sessions only.

The aim is to help you develop greater awareness,

restore more balanced movement and

find strategies that support the way you want to move.

I work from my small studio in N1 near Canonbury Station and also at

Westminster Physiotherapy and Pilates.

I offer live online private sessions for Pilates, MELT, yoga, movement and breathing.

WORKSHOPS & EVENTS

Learn together.  Explore something new.

I'm happy to discuss ideas and topics for presentations, workshops and events. 

Workshops are ideal for Pilates or yoga studios, physiotherapy practices, friend groups, workplaces or communities.

Whichever way we begin, we'll coordinate breathing mechanics in movement to improve neurological core stability

and cultivate a stronger foundation from which to move. 

Initial appointments are 90 minutes; subsequent appointments are 60 minutes. Contact me for rates.
