Meet Mon – Founder, Senior Cosmetic RN & Co-Owner of Envy Aesthetics
Hey I’m Monique, I like to be called Mon.
I’m an 87’ baby!
I have 2 beautiful daughters and 1 amazing little boy who are my world & purpose: Zara (2009), Layla (2011) & Jack (2023)
I was born and raised in Tasmania until I moved to the mainland when I was 19.
I am a proud & stubborn headed Leo.
One of my colleagues also happens to be my best friend/ soul mate/ lover & best stepdad/ male influence for my girls I could have ever wished for
Likes: writing lists, giving gifts, animals, Turkish delight, gym, my v8 & sleep-ins
Dislikes: bad drivers, noisy eaters, anchovies, wasabi peas, cold/ wet weather, cooks that can’t cook steak properly
We have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bearded dragon and 1 bird!
I have an appreciation for the world that we inhabit & try to contribute back to it or help others where I can.
I thrive on stress & challenges & all the craziness that life can offer, always hustling! My motto: always room for improvement.
Why?:
Ever wonder what your calling in life was? I used to get SO frustrated because I knew I was meant for more, something different… something to be passionate about.
It took 12 years.. 12 years of sampling more industries & positions & accredited courses you could possibly imagine! It wasn’t until I was a few months in on my diploma of beauty therapy course that I started researching cosmetic injectables.
It was like a light switch! There was clarity!
Although I knew so little and hadn’t even had anything done myself nor knew of anyone who had personally! I just knew, I knew it this was my calling. A feeling that’s hasn’t left me, even so many years after.
Uni seemed like such an impossible and pointless fete before, but after that epiphany. before I knew it.. 3 years was done! It’s hard to explain the drive and motivation I had when I realised that this was my calling.
I honestly never thought twice about the “What If’s” or the difficulties I was going to face.
I never looked back and never even hesitated, NOT for a second!
It’s been a wild ride with every personal & professional hiccup encompassed possible.
Fast forward. After creating my own space in October 2019 with barely any advertising, built on referrals & Envy Aesthetics is going strong & I couldn’t be happier. It’s like having a baby & devoting all your time & financials without expectation of return other than true happiness.
I’m so appreciative that I can provide clients comfort, security & solace, a place that I can help others feel the beauty that they are & within themselves. To feel confident & self-love. It brings me so much happiness and peace.
I could see a gap in the industry where there was a fine line between the pressure to achieve an ‘on trend’ look peer pressured by our social eco dynamics causing complexities… & the stigma in of trying to do anything that alleviated these complexities. Day in, day out, 365, I share in showing my true self like an open book to help others feel more comfortable in their own bodies and to be empowered to makes changes to better themselves and be happy
I owe every thanks to all those that have put their trust in me & I can’t wait to see what the future of Envy Aesthetics holds.
