About Moniek

Hi, I’m Moniek Garside, licensed therapist, educator, speaker, author, and advocate for mental health, self-care, and intentional living. With nearly two decades of experience across healthcare, community practice, and academia, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and professionals move beyond survival and into sustainable healing, balance, and growth.

My work extends far beyond traditional therapy. I bring my message into diverse spaces through speaking, teaching, consulting, and creating tools that support real-life transformation. Whether I’m in a classroom, on a stage, or working with clients, my focus remains the same: helping people build awareness, establish boundaries, and create lives rooted in clarity, connection, and self-preservation.

As a wife, mother, and community advocate, I understand the realities of balancing multiple roles while still prioritizing well-being. This lived experience shapes how I show up, authentic, grounded, and deeply committed to creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to do the work.

At my core, I believe healing is intentional. Growth is a decision. And the life you want is built through the moments you choose to show up for yourself.
