This is My Starting Point

Where I first learned to listen to the language of stress.

The name was inspired by the work of the late Dr. Hans Selye. His work sparked my own theories that built on top of his impressive and cutting-edge thinking.

I later became a certified Stress Management Consultant because I needed to understand why so many of us live just a breath away from burnout and what the real roots of disease were. What I discovered changed everything: stress isn’t the enemy—it’s a signal.

What I've Learned:

Traditional stress management teaches us to control or avoid stress.
True resilience comes from decoding its signals and learning to flow through life with clarity and ease.
Stress is a messenger, not a malfunction and when we listen, we uncover the wisdom our bodies have been holding all along.

"It's not stress that kills us; it is our reaction to it."

- Dr. Hans Selye, 'Father of Stress Science'

Where I Am Now

Stressology gave me the first keys. It was my outside‑in approach: naming and reducing the stressors that keep the body in distress. But my perspective has shifted. Today, my work is about guiding people from the inside out: helping them access the awareness and tools to remember that nothing outside of them can give what they already carry within. Today, I help people:

Decode their body’s messages with curiosity instead of fear
Unwind survival mode and find ease in their system
Reclaim coherence, the calm clarity that allows you to meet life as it comes

The Next Chapter

The foundations of Stressology were forged through my own lived experience with the unrelenting stressors of life. Now, I’m expanding that impact in two key ways.

First, I’m integrating and sharing the wisdom gained by writing books about the experiences that changed everything. Second, I’m studying to become a traditional naturopath in order to formalize my personal journey with a deeper scientific and holistic framework. This training allows me to uncover any missing pieces that help people restore harmony and remember their wholeness.

Stressology will always remain a key starting point: a doorway for anyone bold enough to say “there has to be a better way” and explore the resilience that frees them from survival mode and the endless cycle of managing and coping with stress.

Hi, I am Monique Lauria!

I’m on a mission to transform the way we see wellness: to end the cycles of stress and chronic illness that keep so many of us bracing for the next hit.

I’ve lived this work. I watched long-term stress and disease claim the life of my best friend, Lauren Rick, and carried the relentless pressure of helping my daughter heal from Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Even my years as a top-performing sales executive didn’t prepare me for the weight of that kind of fear or the profound resilience I would discover on the other side.

At first, I became the teammate I had once wished for, working from the outside in, searching for every missing piece that might unlock healing. But over time, I learned the deeper truth: lasting transformation begins from the inside out.

Now, my calling is to sit beside you to honor all that has shaped you, and to remind you that the power to heal, grow, and thrive has always been yours.
