Hi, I’m Simone, a cancer wellness and mind body connection specialist, and a specialist oncology physiotherapist with over 30 years of experience.
For much of my life, I lived in survival mode. I experienced extreme panic attacks, anxiety, chronic pain and claustrophobia, without truly understanding why. Over time, I came to recognise that my body had been holding unprocessed fear from an experience I had at just 11 years old.
My personal journey led me to looking at health through a different lens. It taught me that our thoughts, emotions, nervous system and physical body are deeply connected.
Interwoven with my own personal health journey was my sister Debbie’s cancer diagnosis at just 28, shortly after she became a mum. At the time, I was the health professional who did not fully believe in integrative approaches because they were not part of my conventional training. And witnessing Debbie’s journey opened my eyes. When you see the impact of whole person support, it's impossible to unsee it.
Throughout my career, one thing has always stood out. Mindset matters. Emotional wellbeing matters. Feeling safe in your body matters.
This is not about pretending cancer is easy or suggesting you can think your way through it. It is about understanding the powerful, evidence informed ways you can support your wellbeing alongside medical care, through nervous system regulation, movement, emotional support, the mind body connection and other holistic practices.
I’m here to help you feel less overwhelmed by conflicting advice, more connected to yourself, and more confident about where to begin.
Follow for compassionate, practical support for living well alongside cancer, Simone 💕
