Fiona Glenn
Founder and director of Forrest Chiropractic, Fiona Glenn is a native of Canberra, and as a child lived abroad in various countries for many years with her family.
Fiona experienced chiropractic firsthand after being involved in a car accident, the positive result sparked her interest in chiropractic as a career possibility.
Chiropractic suited her well in all aspects of its science, art and philosophy.
Fiona received her tertiary education at the University of NSW (Bachelor of Science and Mathematics, majoring in anatomy and physiology) and Macquarie University (Master of Chiropractic), graduating in 1990.
Alongside her preferred chiropractic application of Network Spinal, Fiona has a unique combination of trainings in such techniques as Activator Methods, Professional Applied Kinesiology, NET (NeuroEmotional Technique), Retained Neonatal Reflexes, Neurointegration System (brain to body link), and Visceral Technique, and for 30 years, has helped many people overcome challenges in various aspects of their lives and to realise their full potential.
“I have a great respect for the body’s innate ability to heal when given the chance. I also realise the power in the fundamentals: free-flowing neural & energy systems, quality water, nutrition, sleep, movement, happy social environment, and sunshine”.
Fiona also teaches Nia, which is a holistic fitness practice that combines dance, martial arts and mindfulness, and aligns perfectly with her body-mind-spirit perspective. She leads quality classes and workshops, and is focused on evolving the Nia practice and growing the Nia community worldwide.
“We want to get the body, mind and spirit on the same page. We pursue the coherence of the whole person. The application of my approach to chiropractic techniques and the activity of Nia do this really, really well”.
Her mother had a strong influence in her life and taught her to follow her heart. So she does. She follows her heart and soul, living a soul-powered life filled with meaning and purpose.
Outside of practise Fiona has a rich life with family and friends and various interests. She is happily married, and has two grown-up boys.

Gabriella Monus
Bachelor Degree, Disability & Rehabilitation
Laser therapy, otherwise known as cold laser therapy or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive, painless treatment that uses focused light which penetrates deeply into the tissues of the body, boosting the body’s natural healing ability in response to pain, inflammation, swelling or muscle spasms.
Research and clinical trials show that when the laser is applied to the skin, light is absorbed by the damaged cells. This increases the natural production of collagen and ATP. ATP is the energy source for every cell in your body. So, your cells are effectively using more energy. As a bonus, they can rejuvenate themselves and repair any damage while in this state. It is a safe and effective treatment for many acute and chronic conditions.
Gabriella Monus, or Gabi for short, is a trusted laser therapy specialist in Canberra who takes a holistic approach to treatment.
With over 30 years’ experience in assisting people of all ages and with a wide range of conditions,
Gabi is committed to helping people get their lives back through low-level laser therapy treatments.
