About

Namaste. I’m Simone and I’m so glad that you are here.

I am a lifelong student of yoga, yoga teacher, florist and children’s book author. My two young kids also keep me on my toes – as does my youtube channel Nature Immersions and Recipe Blog It Happens To Be Vegan.

YOGA

Yoga has been an integral part of my life since I began practicing at the age of 16 as a way to manage the stress of high school exams and connect with my friends. I have attended yoga schools and retreats in Australia, USA and Cambodia completed my Yoga Teacher Training with Santosha Yoga Institute.

Throughout my journey, I have used my yoga practice to care for my physcial body, recentre during stressful times and help me through pregancy and birthing my babies. Most of all, and perhaps unitentionally yoga has helped me to come home to myself and develop and deeper connection to spirit. For these reasons and many more, I am a proud and devoted yogi. I am so happy to share my knowledge and experience as we continue to learn and grow together.

FLORIST

I have wanted to be a florist for as long as I can remember. It’s what I wanted to be “when I grow up.” After 7 years in the corporate sector, I craved a creative outlet and began my Certificate III in Floristry. 

Flowers always bring me back to the present moment and directly connect me to the seasons. They bring joy and human connection. 

My floristry philosophy is similar to that of my life philosophy – the closer to nature, the better – and – as sustainable as possible.
