Thank you Mona for the CST sessions. From 4th CST session onwards, I started feeling significant change within me. My mind and body are much more relaxed now. I felt an old emotional baggage which I was carrying for long has gone now. I feel much more lighter in my body and calm in my mind. I am more present and aware of the positive changes happening in my system.

I was having sciatica pain since last 2 years every now and then. Yoga, pilates, physiotherapy gave me short-term relief. The pain used to come back after sometime. Last year somebody told me about BCST and I become pain free after two sessions. After that I took some more sessions for maintenance. Since then my sicatica pain has not come back. I am really amazed with this profound modality of treatment.

I am Vinay and I work as a Consumer Insights Manager in the FMCG industry.

My interaction with Mona goes back to June’18 when I was going through immense personal losses – from my Mother’s sudden death to the estrangement of my marriage. Suddenly, I was handing my own grief, without my partner, looking after my old and grieving father and managing a job which I had joined only recently. The stress took an immense toll on me and I felt myself very strangely going completely numb. I wasn’t crying, or laughing, or finding joy in anything. However, internally I was feeling a lot of anxiety, a lot of rage as well – but somehow it was not coming out and remained all bottled up.

The events kept playing in my mind and I kept moving in a downward spiral. The worst of all was I couldn’t imagine a tomorrow. Every time I thought about future, a very strange tightness used to grip the right side of my brain and took me to the past. It was as if I was just trapped in a numbness. I felt frozen.

Fortunately, I got to meet Mona who explained to me that this is exactly what it was. My sub-conscious mind, or primal mind, or what we understand as the parasympathetic nervous system had taken over and had gotten stuck in a freeze response. This hindered the functioning of the rational or the cognitive brain.

She then modelled a holistic therapy for me. She let me talk and helped re-frame the events in a safe space. Along with that she also worked with me with alternate mindfulness therapies like CST, TRE and even Yoga. I noticed as I progressed in these sessions – which used to happen on a weekly basis – that gradually the twitch from the right side of my brain started moving to the entire right side of my body. The ends of the body – the fingers of the hand and the feet used to mildly shake during the therapy. Mona explained that the trauma sometimes gets stored not just in the mind but also in the cells of the body as well and it is very important therefore to get the cells to release this trauma. And therefore, we needed to approach it holistically from a mind-body perspective.

Gradually as the sessions progressed, I felt the shaking reduce and my mind coming back to the present moment, becoming more mindful. The sense of control and stabilization was restored. I was able to gradually do and enjoy the things I used to love earlier – like travelling, photography, music, driving. I was able focus better at work and was also able to better connect with people at work and in personal life.

Today, the events have settled down in my long term memory and I am not haunted anymore emotionally with the events.

The grief remains but it is a grief that now is able to find expression just like other emotions of love, longing, happiness and joy. It doesn’t have the intense emotional charge it carried earlier.

It has been an incredible journey and I really thank Mona for helping me walk so far on this healing path.

Thank You

Online Somatic Therapy Experiences

Working with Mona has been nothing short of life-changing.

Her presence is calm, spacious, and deeply attuned — the kind of safety I didn’t know my nervous system was longing for. In our sessions, Mona gently guided me into parts of myself I had long buried in silence and grief. She helped me meet my trauma not as something to fix or analyze, but as something to listen to — with softness, reverence, and slowness.

With her, I’ve been able to reconnect to my body in ways I didn’t think were possible. I touched grief I had never dared to name, and also glimpsed the health, power, and life force that co-existed right underneath the pain.

Mona doesn’t just hold space — she becomes the space where healing feels safe.

I am deeply grateful for her guidance, and would recommend her to anyone who is ready to truly meet themselves.

My job requires 8 – 9 hours of standing because of which I was having severe backache. I came to know about BSCT and started taking sessions from Mona Bansal. My pain is almost gone. My overall health has also improved. My energy level has increased which has directly improved my work productivity during the day.

Mona’s words did transform my mind and put me in a state of peace. her sessions were incredibly important especially through these tough times of pandemic when everyone is scared and looking out for hope and solace. Mona is very instructional and helps to focus on exactly what one should do in their meditation practice like how to sit, how to breathe, what mantras to chant, and other helpful hints..she did help me connect to my inner self, my core form and introduced me to my safe zone…
