What’s in a name….

The name SimShakti came to Simmone in a mediation. It is a combination of her name, Sim, and Shakti which essentially means the Divine feminine aspect, primordial cosmic energy, power and life force. Shakti represents the active, dynamic principles of feminine power. In the Hindu tradition, Shakti is the Great Goddess, the sum of all Goddesses. It is Simmone’s intention that this powerful image can inspire her clients and help them realise their own life force and creativity.

Hi, I’m Simmone

For as long as I can remember I have been drawn to singing, music, the power of breath work and, of course, yoga. This eclectic combination of passions have led me on a lifelong journey of healing, and I am thrilled to be in a position where I can share what I have learnt with you.

In the 90’s I became a professional vocalist with the successful Gold Coast based ‘Rumours’. We were The Australian Fleetwood Mac Experience (awesome, I know), and as the voice of Stevie Nicks, I had the honour of bringing the songs and anthems of this iconic music group to life. It was hard work, that I loved, and it made me appreciate the power of breathing, something many of us take for granted.

Fast forward to 2010 when I was no longer a front woman, but hungry for knowledge. I moved to Newcastle to explore my passion for body and breath and started my long (and continuing) study journey. I completed Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in 2017, and Moksha Meditation Training in 2019. This set the stage for the opening of my very own studio in Raymond Terrace, and it was here that SimShakti Yoga was born.

In 2011 I began Tanran Reiki training and continued my learning journey with a Masters which I completed in 2021. Brimming with skills and knowledge that I was so eager to share, I expanded my studio to become a holistic healing centre.

Would you believe that all of this adds up to more than 30 years of experience with Metaphysical Studies, Shamanic Medicine, Seasonal Energies, and other Energy Workings? I couldn’t be more humbled to share my understanding of energy, wellness, and healing with both new and returning clients in the Newcastle and Maitland areas. I am thrilled to offer my clients a variety of classes and healings using the combined arts of Reiki, Shamanic Drumming, Chakra Balancing, Crystal and Sound Baths using the healing frequencies of Crystal Singing Bowls and Platonic Gong.

But it doesn’t stop there! My learning journey continues, and I am currently studying Astrology and Psychic Development which means my studio will continue to grow and you can grow with me. I can’t wait to share what I know and what I am learning with you, and maybe that journey will be perfectly punctuated with a little Fleetwood Mac soundbite (you never know).
