You're smart, ambitious and successful. But, despite being successful in managing your business and career, when it comes to making the other things in your life a reality, all you feel is stuck, confused and overwhelmed.

When it comes to squeezing in time to go to the gym, plan and cook healthy meals or even find some me-time in front of Netflix or with a book, it never seems to happen.  Your busy lifestyle is taking a toll- not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. You’re sick of feeling tired all the time from the constant hustle of juggling life and business.

You are on the burnout train but you don’t know how to get off.

You know there must be a better way to manage your lifestyle so you can be uber-productive, super-creative, and even enjoy fun and pleasure without the guilt. You want nothing more than to feel freedom, confidence, and joy in your work and your life too.

Let me introduce myself!

I’m Simone, an astrologer and certified coach who loves helping woman like you to put an end to the stress, overwhelm, exhaustion and instead to have a healthy work-life balance. I can help you to un-tap your abundant energy and create easy and effective self-care routines following the natural cycles so you can finally balance your life and business while thriving in both.

The work I do is different from anything else out there because I use the magic of astrology and in particular the lunar cycle to help you to find your rhythm, be in flow and have alignment in all areas of your life so you can create a business that makes an impact and still have a life that you love.

My journey

Once upon a time, I was you. I had no idea what proper care and nurturing looked or felt like, so I kept doing what I’d always done which was work hard, play even harder, and not stop at any cost to my health and well-being.

I have always been ambitious and have always gone all-in on everything. Sleeping is for when you are dead, right? During uni in my late teens, I somehow held down two jobs with opposing early morning and late night shifts, while also studying full-time.

I would keep myself from crashing and burning by drinking coffee and  Coca Cola and eating vending machine snacks. I justified eating this way because I cycled everywhere, which in my mind made me healthy. I didn't see anything wrong with this unbalanced, fast-paced lifestyle I was leading even though I felt exhausted pretty much all of the time.

To say I didn’t care for or nurture myself is an understatement.

I managed to keep-up the fast-paced life through my 20s and early 30s. Yet, there was a part of me that was always yearning for something more. Deep down I knew that there was something missing from my life that I was trying to fulfill through external means (hello booze and food!) and that the pattern of extremes was not a healthy way to live my life.

It took falling into a depression to turn things around for me. What felt like the worst thing at the time, ended up being the best thing for me.

My therapist encouraged me to start eating better, to stop drinking, and to try meditation and yoga as a way to slooooow down. I’d dabbled in yoga before, and I agreed it could be good for me to try again to get through this rough period.  I joined a yoga studio with an all-access pass, and went twice a day to different classes. I became slightly obsessed, but this time, my addiction was one that nourished my soul rather than filtering and hiding away the darkness I was trying so hard not to feel. 

This was the beginning of my deep explorations into spirituality. As an Aquarius Sun, I was always interested the woo-woo and the need to heal myself became the permission slip I needed to start a deep-dive into my own personal growth and development.

I learned Reiki, started practicing using tarot and oracle cards, did all the personality tests I could find, discovered therapeutic journaling as a tool to heal, and began learning about astrology.

The new me

Eventually I healed from depression and let go of a lot of previously forgotten trauma while really discovering more about myself and what it meant to live authentically and without external salves to always soothe me.

I really turned my life upside down, and got my proverbial shit together. I travelled extensively again, and found myself working and living in Hanoi, Vietnam and then later in Jakarta, Indonesia. It was when I was on a yoga retreat in Bali that I became  even more obsessed with health and well-being and consciously turned my lifestyle upside down.

I became passionate about raw foods and the benefits of following a plant-based diet, which led me to become a raw and living foods chef. I continued to also integrate a spiritual practice into my life and began to prioritise regular self-care. My confidence and self-esteem soared, I felt truly expressed and my life felt purposeful.

My business was born

As I continued to explore nutrition, and the role food, relationships, career, spirituality and movement can play in our lives and our overall well-being, I was led to study first at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, so that I could become a holistic health coach to help other people who were like me to heal their own insecurities and issues with self-love, emotional eating and stress management.

I then continued my explorations and completed a certification with the Institute for Transformational Nutrition. This course cemented the concept that health and well-being is not just about what you eat but about the nourishment you get from the relationships you nurture, the hobbies and interests you pursue, your success in your career and work, the way you look after yourself even in times of stress, and the spiritual elements of your life that you enjoy.

Always teaching, always learning

The story, of course, does not end here. I’m not perfect and still need to “do the work” to be able to walk my talk. Even though I loved working on my side hustle coaching business and it lit me up in so many ways, old habits die hard, and my workaholic tendencies soon crept back into my life.

Shortly after having my son, I relapsed into the world of non-stop go, go, go and pushed my body to its limits. I ended up with adrenal fatigue- I was burnt-out from working, commuting, building a business, and raising my son in a megatropolis and thinking like I had to do it all on my own (while also figuring out who I was again in my role as a mother).

The blessing that came from this, was a reminder that self-care is sacred and must be a priority. Once I recovered from my burnout I made the promise to never allow myself to go there again. In my recovery time, I happened to stumble across a mentor who taught me about the lunar cycle and how I could harness the energy of the moon through a regular journaling and meditation practice and as a way to tune into the natural rhythms. This was a game-changer for me and became one of the best tools to overcome the need for pushing and hustling all the time.

These days, my relaxation and me-time is filled by yoga, meditation, reading, or doing an online course learning something new that I'm passionate about. I also love adult colouring books, crystals, oracle cards, Young Living essential oils, practicing energy work (Reiki), studying all things astrology and really exploring my inner hippy. I value quality time with my husband and son, and love and respect having quality catch ups with the friends who truly love me for who I am.

I now have a daily sacred self-care practice with rituals and routines that I have established to support me mentally, emotionally and physically. I am living by the self-care pillars that form the foundation of the work that I now do with my clients.

Where am I today?

Living a life in which I’m nourishing my self-care pillars as top priority looks nothing like the me of old. The more ambitious women who I work with uncovering their feminine sides, the more I realise I’m using my own life purpose to help women like you to change your life for the better so you too can be unstoppable in your business and life.

It's rare these days that I feel guilty or angry or feel the need to filling my life with busy-ness as a way to find happiness.

I’ve learned the importance of rewiring the old patterns of masculine energy management such as overachieving, competition, and always pushing and striving. I now work with a feminine approach to energy management which entails cyclical living, connection, intuition, asking for and giving support, and making self-care sacred.

I now know that I am MORE productive when I slow down and look after myself. I have more energy and enthusiasm when I sleep well. Life has flow and things seem aligned when I live in harmony with the lunar cycle.

On my 40th birthday I decided it was time to really deepen my knowledge of astrology through a year-long program with the intention to integrate astrology fully into my life in a practical way. I was truly ready to live an inspired, purpose-driven life without ever burning out again.

As I have deepened my learning in astrology and the lunar cycles and learnt how to to work with the natural cycles and rhythms, I have tapped into a way to be unstoppable- without the overwhelm and exhaustion. I have even created The My Unstoppable Life Journal that is available on Amazon which formalises the self-care practice that I began doing back in 2014.

I’m passionately committed to helping women like you get off the burnout highway and onto the road to happiness and good health by taking control of their lives and healing, mind, body and spirit. I want you to wake up feeling energised, vibrant, and alive, every day. I want you to break through the patriarchal patterns that keep you stuck and unhappy, to reclaim your energy, grow your business without the burnout while still making an impact.
