With a combination of mental, physical and spiritual wellness, paired with a holistic approach, Simone helps people to recognise that they themselves have the ability to unlock their true authentic self, to live a life of purpose, ultimately resulting in them living a fulfilled life.
Previous to becoming a Counsellor, Simone worked for Qantas for 15 years as an international flight attendant, gaining many personal and professional attributes that assist her current profession. Working with Qantas gave her the opportunity to work with a diverse range of cultures, ages, sexual orientations and a wide range of personalities, gaining knowledge of people's differences and similarities, worldly views and much more. Simone is able to draw upon her own lived experience of a colourful upbringing paired with post-traumatic stress in her late 20’s due to a workplace near-death experience that led down the road of depression and anxiety, to then receiving professional support to achieve and maintain positive mental well-being. She now assists others through their journey to achieving positive mental health and the life that they desire.
As a mother of two young girls, Simone has engaged more than ever, the drive to help assist the younger generations in achieving positive mental health with the BE UNSTOPPABLE FOUNDATION, and is a valuable part of our team.
