Dr. Simone has an incredible ability to get to the source of many people’s problems and find solutions that work very quickly unlike any other consultants that I know of.

She is so easy and comfortable to talk to. She is also an extremely intelligent and witty person that makes the journey of improving yourself an enjoyable experience. Dr. Simone is a master at getting to the root cause and giving simple, workable solutions to improving your situation. I would highly recommend her!

If caring is sharing, with whom better than Dr. Simone? With her warm attitude, heartfelt kindness, and creative thoughts she showed me how to confront and improve the complexities of my daily life stressors. As an executive, I’m faced with making many important decisions that affect a lot of individual lives, on a daily basis. I was stressed out, irritable and overwhelmed. From what I witnessed and experienced, this is a professional whom has dedicated her life to systematically improve the lives of her clients through sincere discussions and analysis of their problems and helping them see their potentials and unique abilities to be happy and succeed. She helps her clients understand that they can enjoy all that life has to offer to them and that they have the strength to step out of their comfort zone and soar as high as they will. I did break free from all that was holding me back, overcame obstacles, removed distractions and feel relaxed. I am happier and more successful than ever and am positive that anyone who comes to her will be able to do the same.

Dr. Simone, I am writing to thank you for all your help. I want you to know that I do appreciate it as it changed the way I was thinking about my situation. I am more confident now about who I am and whom to choose as my life partner. I feel so relieved that I was finally able to walk away from a relationship that was not making me happy. I was trying to change my girlfriend into my ideal and my numerous failed attempts in doing so was making me feel miserable and her angry and confused. The relationship was not healthy nor was it happy. Both she and I feel good about the breakup and are good friends now. I am now hopeful about my future romantic life. Thank you!

Dr. Simone, I am eternally grateful to you for the bright path you helped me to find and follow, leading to my happiness. I can’t stop smiling, I feel happy in amazing ways in so many different aspects of my life that I am almost speechless. You have given me a deep understanding of the basic truths of life which has enabled me to succeed in my relationship with my wife and daughter, at work and even financially. You are extremely effective and I truly appreciate you and your wisdom.

I had only 10 sessions of consultation with Dr. Simone, but those sessions changed my life completely. The sessions were very deep and thought provoking. This was exactly what I needed. I love you, Dr. Simone. You are very wise. Your positive energy and kind encouragements made a big impact on my attitude and understanding of the problematic situation in my life. You are super smart and saved me from making a huge mistake that would bring me misery. It’s scary to look back to where I was and I am so happy to be where I am now. I hope our paths could cross again. Thank you very much! You are the best!

Three years ago, when I first met Dr. Simone, I was in a terrible marriage. I felt severely depressed and was aimlessly living an agonizing, day-to-day life.  It took me a while to be able to fully trust Dr. Simone and open up to her about the intricacies of my troubled and tortured soul.  At that time, it was nine trying years that I had been stuck in a horrible marriage with an abusive man whom I took care of, both emotionally and financially.  I was trapped in the prison of the “shoulds and should nots” imposed on me by my parents, family members and the society.  As an experienced nurse, I could only define my role in life as “a selfless caretaker,” which worked well for the patients under my care but was not so helpful to myself, as an individual.  I had given up on photography which used to be the great joy in my life.  I had worked so hard to become a seasoned photographer, but at that time, I felt too ill, physically and too exhausted, emotionally to care anymore.

It was after I was able to truly trust Dr. Simone and share with her my poignant life story that I remembered what it meant to feel happy and laugh out loud.  With her help, I got the courage to place my wants and needs as the number one on my list rather than prioritizing the needs of others in my life over mine.  For the first time, I was able to say “no” to the unreasonable and unending expectations of my family members and my husband, without feeling guilty about it.  I dared to end my unhappy marriage and am now living the life I want.  I finally did all that I was afraid to do or thought that I was incapable of accomplishing which led to resolution of the problems in my life.  Getting to know and having the opportunity to work with Dr. Simone is the biggest miracle that has ever happened in my life.  I am eternally grateful to Dr. Simone because with her generous and kind heart, rich experience, invaluable knowledge, wisdom and eloquence, she helped me open my eyes and see that I actually have numerous options.  I found out that I could do something about what was wrong in my life and that I have the strength and power to conquer the obstacles and follow my dreams.  Dr. Simone helped me enter a new world in which I am no longer a victim but a strong, determined and capable woman who deserves happiness and can reach for the stars.  For all this, I thank Dr. Simone from the depth of my heart.

Being brought up in a family where I witnessed ongoing loud arguments between my parents, I had figured out that in order to survive, I needed to be agreeable to others, to take responsibility for anything that would go wrong and to be “the good son, good student and good friend” that everyone liked and admired.  I had gotten into the habit of never showing my real feelings or expressing my opinions, if they were not consistent with what others wanted. Nor did I dare to confront those who hurt my feelings or treated me in ways that I did not like. Avoidance was my favorite route and pretending to be happy and content with the status quo, my comfort zone.  I was petrified at the idea of doing anything that would not be approved by “others.”  I felt paralyzed with fear of disappointing others or worse, being negatively judged by “others.”  To me, the word “others” included even my parents, siblings, wife and close friends.  I was struggling with shyness, guilt, indecisiveness and had very little confidence in myself and my abilities even though I have been a successful professional with a master’s degree in my field of study.  It was with Dr. Simone’s help that I dared to establish my very own value system and feel that I have the right to live a life consistent with my values and dreams.  I learned how to stand up for myself and my beliefs, and how to communicate effectively with “others” so as to reach workable solutions to problems, enabling me to live a life that was finally satisfying to me as well as to “others.”  It felt like I was reborn, better to say reinvented, but this time by myself not “others.” I now feel powerful, strong, courageous and determined to live the life I always wanted to live.  I am very happy that I no longer feel the heavy burden of the unhappy stories of my past. I have revised those stories and see now that I have the right to express my opinions, that I have options, that I am not stuck. I now know what I want and that I am able to communicate freely about everything with “others” including my wife, and I am even listening better to her and her viewpoints.  I feel confident in myself, my abilities and future possibilities.  Dr. Simone has always been kind, understanding and patient with me and I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her when I most needed help.

When I first met Dr. Simone, I was stuck, paralyzed, going through life without letting myself feel anything.  My life had been a very challenging one with numerous devastating experiences.  I felt deeply depressed, hopeless and helpless; mentally, emotionally and physically.  Nothing was working in my life.  My devastation was so severe that I was unable to get out of bed for days.  Dr. Simone saved my life in so many ways and more times than one is able to imagine.  She was always there for me, kind, nonjudgmental and accepting of me despite having been perceived as different and unconventional by others, all through my life.  She was the only person who really understood me.  Most importantly, she never gave up on me, even when I had given up on myself.  Her professionalism is impeccable and the way she personalizes the plan of action and the speed of consultation to the needs and wants of her consultees makes the whole process delightful and interesting.  Even though the work was hard, all the way through, there was laughter and good humor.  Dr. Simone helped me resolve the painful conflicts with my ex-husband that had wasted 8 years of my life.  It was then and there, with her by my side, that I started to feel that life was worth living and I actually felt hopeful for the first time in my life.  Miracles were happening in different aspects of my life and that was because I had become the person I wanted to be.  Now, I have great relationships with people in my life that never existed before.  I’m back working again, feeling “wonderful,” doing what I love to do and making a difference in peoples’ lives.  I feel loved and appreciated and miraculously, I feel that I deserve all this.  I’ve learned to love myself, face my fears and walk through any barrier that might hold me back.  Now I believe in myself and in my bright future. Nothing seems unobtainable!  The sky is now the limit and I’m certain that with hard work, persistence and believing in my dreams, I can make today’s dreams tomorrow’s reality.  I thank Dr. Simone for helping me enjoy life again and for inspiring me to want to go for my dreams, and be ready and able to do whatever it takes to make them come true.

It’s been 19 years since I met this living angel on earth—my first and forever mentor whose hopeful and inspiring presence I’ve never forgotten. When I first met with Dr. Simone, I felt depleted and as though I had hit rock bottom in my life. Dr. Simone had a powerful impact on every aspect of my life. Not just as a truly accomplished life improvement consultant, but as a wise and compassionate professional, she taught me to accept, respect and love myself. Her uncommon talent and accessible advice is unlike anything I’ve seen written or documented anywhere. Thanks to Dr. Simone, I now have a healthier and more loving relationship with myself and others in my life, and greater energy and motivation to achieve whatever I want. It goes without saying that I am a much happier, more hopeful, more successful person than I was before. Thank you Dr. Simone. You proved to be in my life, the miracle worker you are reputed to be.

We are very thankful to Dr. Simone for all the wonders she has created for us both individually and in our marriage. She showed us how to become the people we wanted to be and how to clearly communicate our values, wants and needs to each other; a skill that was instrumental in our rediscovery of each other. Only God knows how sad we were and how wonderfully enjoyable our life together is now. There are no words to express how grateful we are to her for reviving the deep mutual love and respect in our marriage. The big miracle is that we fell in love with each other all over again. With her help, we made right all that was wrong in our life. She walked with us in the trenches during very difficult times and helped us transform ourselves and our marriage. We know how blessed we were to find her, to be fortunate enough to have her help us make our dreams come true.

I had a car accident a few years ago which profoundly impacted my whole life. But after I saw Dr. Simone, who was an angel in my life, everything changed for the better. She helped me change my attitude toward myself and everyone and everything in my life, in a way that freed me to become the person I wanted to be. That was a huge transformation for me and I’m so happy and thankful that I made it with her help. Before I met Dr. Simone, I was stuck in an unhappy life. But now, I’m like a powerful eagle who is flying higher and higher and wants to achieve more. If you want to see the best version of yourself, I strongly recommend you go and see Dr Simone.

Dr. Simone led me to experience a quality of life I believe I could never have known without her help. Before I began to meet with her in one-on-one sessions, I thought I was perfect, and that every difficulty I had in life was due to others and not of my own doing. I remember when I first met Dr. Simone, my life circumstances were changing in major ways and the problems in my personal life had escalated. But Dr. Simone helped me change in ways that enabled me to solve all those problems. Now, I have a stable, rich and joyful family life with my husband and daughter, as we look forward to the birth of the baby girl I am now expecting. I thank Dr. Simone for giving me the personal resources that allowed all these wonderful things to happen in my life.

I want to thank Dr. Simone for the wonderful and quality sessions we had together. She opened my eyes and helped me immensely. After a tragic accident in my family, Dr. Simone helped me to get excited about achieving my goals once again. I always looked forward to my sessions. Dr. Simone has a way of making you feel at ease and very comfortable. My sessions were thought provoking; I “always” came away feeling a little wiser and more focused with a positive outlook on the stage of my life. I realized what is in the “past” is in the past, that cannot be changed, and “now” is all that matters: there is no judgment. I’m feeling better for all the wisdom and fresh perspectives that she shared with me. I thank her wholeheartedly.  Dr. Simone is the real deal and I so value the time I had with her.
