When we are at ease, our voice carries natural authority.

C. Laurel, Chief of Community Development, Symphony 7
Simone’s voice coaching sessions have been extremely valuable to me. They have improved my executive presence through more effective use of both my voice and body language, during public speaking and boardroom interactions. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for voice coaching.
Dr J. Goh, Director of Medical Services (Workforce),
Monash Health
Simone is an exceptional voice and communications consultant, and I highly recommend her services to anyone involved in public speaking, performance, teaching, or simply seeking to communicate more effectively and meaningfully. Her deep expertise in voice and body dynamics, combined with her unique ability to refine and enhance communication skills, makes her an invaluable resource for professionals in all fields. Thank you, Simone, for your expertise, patience, and the lasting impact of your work!
M. Lourens, Program Manager,
Deakin University (Great South Coast Economic Futures)
I had the pleasure of participating in a session led by Simone earlier this year. She is a passionate advocate for the deliberate seeking of inner peace and joy.
We discovered our true voice along with strategies for moving towards a place of inner stillness and tranquillity.
Amidst our busy and even chaotic lives, Simone's blending of her rich performance background with an understanding of practical strategies for seeking and finding inner harmony created a transformative experience for our staff.
I highly recommend Simone to any team looking to bring tranquillity and peace into their environment.
N. Coutts, Director of Teaching & Learning (F–6)
The session, the contact, your words – have made me feel seen as an educator, and as a person. It cleared my head and made me feel valued. No more masks.
When I feel visible, I can provide the same for my students and that is the cycle of light!
A.Itzak, Primary Educator (F–6)
Working with Simone has truly boosted my confidence.
As someone for whom English is a second language, I always felt nervous about speaking in front of others. Simone helped me understand how to speak more clearly and confidently, and most importantly, how to listen and respond thoughtfully.
I now feel more prepared, more aware, and much more confident in my communication. Highly recommended.
B. Gupta, Physiotherapist & CEO MBRS Food
Simone's coaching and support has been paradigm shifting for me. She gently encouraged me to value myself, taught me techniques to slow down, breathe and relax, helped me find confidence and embrace my natural speech patterns. She is an intent listener, and her approach is a wonderful mix of thoughtful/intentional and intuitive. I have gone on to refer Simone to my clients and connections.
M. Nesaratnam, Founder & CEO,
BraveNewYou
Simone was our guest keynote at the Rotary Club of Bentleigh, Moorabbin Central.
She spoke to the members about the concept of “presence” and the philosophy of "living in the middle of the river of life".
Her presentation was thought-provoking and extremely well structured, drawing on her own experience as an actor and coach.
The number of questions from the floor was a testament to the level of interest shown in Simone’s talk.
She was a most relaxed and engaging speaker who maintained the attention of her audience from start to finish.
