ABOUT MONICA
Monica Brunello is an Italian-born movement artist, performer, qualified Reiki Master teacher, and founder of ReiMoves.
Monica started dancing in her late teens, first performing in her native Italy across theatre and festival. In her early twenties she gained a Diploma in Dance in London, which led to performances in iconic venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall and V&A Museum, as well as a number of trending independents across the UK. She has also participated in various festivals such as Dance Umbrella Festival, South Bank Summer Festival, One World Festival and Big Dance Festival.
Monica began her energy journey with Reiki in 1995, and went on to research many other movement/energy practices before embarking on the development of her own practice ReiMoves - a confluence of her two great passions, dance movement and the realm of energy healing - in 1999. Monica has dedicated a large portion of her life to movement, energy work and healing in order to offer others a creative way to understand their body as a whole. She has delivered ReiMoves workshops in the UK, Europe and Australia.
She also utilizes these combined skills in the world of creative movement performance, where she works with ReiMoves as her base to create heightened performance pieces, as well as train others in rei-moving. Her work has included multimedia collaborations that have merged rei-movement with architecture, film, visual art, poetry and music.

“The tradition that says only the intellect is capable of guiding us has never taken into consideration our living, moving life force. I encourage people to allow the body ‘to speak’ believing each part is knowledgeable of its strengths, abilities and needs.”
