About Monica Gill
Meet Monica Gill- THE SOUL BEHIND SHIVMI I am a spiritual educator, intuitive guide, and certified practitioner of the mystical and healing sciences, with nearly two decades of dedicated study, exploration, and spiritual practice.At the heart of Monica’s spiritual journey lies a deep-rooted connection with the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. Its teachings on karma, dharma, self-awareness, detachment, inner mastery, and the eternal nature of the soul form the spiritual foundation through which she understands life and guides others.For Monica, the Bhagavad Gita is more than a sacred scripture — it is a philosophy for living consciously. Its wisdom inspires her belief that spirituality is not about escaping life, but about understanding ourselves deeply enough to move through life with greater awareness, purpose, and inner balance.Building upon this spiritual foundation, her journey has led her into the deeper study of Vedic Astrology, Bhrigu Nandi Nadi (BNN), KP Astrology, Chaldean Numerology, Tarot, Reiki Energy Healing, Akashic Records, DNA Activation, Vastu Shastra, Feng Shui, and transformational Life Coaching. Monica holds certifications in Bhrigu Nandi Nadi (BNN), Vedic Astrology, Numerology, Reiki Master Healing, Akashic Records, and DNA Activation, reflecting her commitment to continually studying the relationship between ancient wisdom, karmic understanding, energy, consciousness, and personal transformation.Yet for Monica, spirituality is not simply about predictions, techniques, or certifications. It is about understanding yourself more deeply. Her approach brings together astrological insight, numerology, intuitive guidance, energy work, and spiritual wisdom to help seekers recognise their karmic patterns, natural strengths, recurring life lessons, soul purpose, and the deeper meaning behind important phases of life. Rather than creating fear around planets, karma, or destiny, Monica believes spiritual knowledge should create clarity, self-awareness, and conscious choice.Every consultation and teaching offered through Shivmi carries this philosophy: astrology may reveal the patterns, numerology may illuminate the vibrations, and intuitive and energy practices may deepen awareness — but ultimately, true transformation begins within. Her mission through Shivmi is to help people understand themselves, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and navigate life with greater clarity, purpose, spiritual awareness, and trust in their own journey. Because true spiritual guidance is not about telling you what your future must be.It is about helping you understand yourself deeply enough to live it more consciously.
