In addition to the testimonies given in TV interviews by some of Monica's patients (see separate page), some other examples of people who have been helped by her healing sessions are given below. These patients have kindly provided written testimony to the results achieved and given permission for use of the information on this website.

Mrs Mary Kelly attended in August 2004, having been in constant acute back and leg pain for 4 years, and walking with a pronounced limp, following injuries sustained in a car crash in 2000. An MRI scan had revealed a prolapsed disc trapping the sciatic nerve. Physicians consulted were GP, neuro-surgeon & pain specialist. Treatment given was 2 spinal epidurals plus anti-inflammatory medication. While some pain relief was achieved, in time the medication caused side-effects for which she had to have surgery. However, over the course of 8 sessions with Monica, her pain was eliminated and mobility restored, enabling her immediate return to a very physically active life. No further treatment has been needed to date (August ’06). Mrs. Kelly says:

"Having suffered pain for 4 years, having 2 epidurals and taking tablets for this length of time it was suggested to me to try healing. At this stage I would have tried anything. I must admit I was sceptical to start with, but having received healing from Monica Walsh I would gladly recommend it to anyone. I experienced heat running through my body, relief of pain, and a lot more energy. To this day (23 March 06) I am living a pain-free and fulfilling life."

Mr. Michael Roche a professional footballer, attended in November 2003. An MRI scan had revealed a "severely prolapsed L4/5 disc" trapping the sciatic nerve to be the cause of his acute lower back and leg pain, and his consultant's prognosis was that keyhole surgery was indicated. In the interim he had physiotherapy but reports "no relief gained". From the first healing session, his pain eased so considerably that he chose to cancel his imminent surgery date. Following his 8th session he returned immediately to playing football in the Eircom League, and has not needed any further treatment. Mr. Roche says:

"The session was relaxing and I experienced heat on my back. This treatment cured my severe back condition."

Mrs. Betty Davis attended Monica having suffered constant acute pain from osteoporosis for 3-4 years. In her words, it was...

"Brilliant. I just couldn’t believe it. I had been able to do very little for three or four years due to bad pain at the top of my back, and in my shoulders and arm. Pain-killers did not give much relief. After 2 or 3 healing sessions there was a huge improvement. I had 5 sessions when Monica was in Newbridge, and could resume full physical activity shortly afterwards. I have felt very good ever since. I hope this information will help others. I never experienced anything like my sessions, and am sorry she is so far from me today."

Mr. Bernard Healy attended Monica on different occasions for various problems, including back injuries and sinus trouble, and says:

"Whatever I came to Monica for, there was always a major improvement after my visits. The sessions were amazing. Despite the very strong physical sensations and movements happening, I would become very deeply relaxed. When she worked on my sinuses I could feel very precise, needle-like sensations on specific points and shortly afterwards I would breathe freely again. In having healing for my lower back, there would be big jumps in the lumbar area and in the legs, and when working on the upper back, lots of shoulder and arm movements. Sometimes it would feel like she was pressing on a particular area, even though she was not touching it. Sometimes a charge like an electric shock would go right up the spine and my whole body would jump. I would often joke that there should be a camera running, because it has to be seen to be believed, as this is triggered by the lightest touch of her finger!. After back treatment, the troubled area would feel tender for 24 to 48 hours - but not painful - just as if work had physically been done on it. Then the tenderness would disappear and I would feel very flexible again. Apart from physical results, I have found Monica's sessions hugely helpful psychologically and emotionally when under stress. It is fantastic to be able to get so many different kinds of help in one session. Her work is quite extraordinary and unique. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

Ms. M. Pereira presented with a post-operative complication causing constant acute leg pain and limited mobility for 6 months prior to attending Monica in early 1994. She experienced "dynamic healing" on Monica's treatment table, with strenuous physical movements occurring spontaneously in the affected leg as well as the pelvis. While lying on her back, the affected leg would rise and remain at a 45 degree angle to the table while a tugging motion occurred, rippling down the inside leg. This would continue for up to 20 minutes without the leg being physically supported in any way. Other movements would follow with the leg at rest, including pelvic rocking. With each session, Ms Pereira found her pain level reducing and mobility returning. By the 12th session she was completely pain-free and mobile and resumed full physical activity. She explains:

"After the operation, a deep sharp pain spread from the groin down the leg, sometimes like electric shocks. It affected walking and sleeping, preventing normal everyday activities for 6 months. I was on pain-killers and also anti-depressants as it was affecting my state of mind.. My doctors agreed the only solution was surgery as soon as possible to free the trapped nerve. Monica was highly recommended to me by a relative who had attended her. During the sessions I felt tingling and soothing sensations, and the stretching of limbs (by themselves - as if invisible beings were working on me!). I started to feel improvements after a few sessions. I would like to explain that the treatment did not stop in Monica's rooms, the bodily movements went on for a few days afterwards while the tingling and soothing sensations experienced in the healing sessions continued also. I resumed full physical activity when treatment was completed. My state of mind was also dealt with during the sessions, clearing the depression. My two GPs, who had fully supported my decision to have healing instead of surgery, were delighted with the results. My GPs are very open-minded - they worked previously in Scotland where healers can work alongside conventional doctors as part of the national healthcare system, therefore they are fully aware of the benefits of healing. The results achieved have been sustained to date (over 12 years now) and I can say that Monica has cured me completely."

"I also suffer from asthma, and I remember having an attack while in a healing session (I had forgotten my inhaler). Monica held her hands over my chest and I immediately started to breathe normally, feeling like I was on top of a mountain breathing the purest of air."
