About The Attuned Shift
Personal freedom begins within.
I remember sitting in the bathtub, feeling completely broken.
Here I was again—in another relationship filled with betrayal, cruelty, and disrespect.
Despite doing everything I could to be “good,” to be nice, to just be loved and understood, I found myself in the same place.
It hit me that I had experienced every type of abuse there was, starting before I could even form a complete sentence. Nearly every relationship—family, friends, co-workers, romantic partners—had involved a power imbalance.
I had sacrificed so much—including my dignity, my own needs and wants—while settling for crumbs because I was starving.
At that time in the tub, I was studying to become a therapist—to support others in their healing—and I hadn’t yet realized I was navigating a deep ocean of complex trauma.
That word—"trauma"—wasn’t one I had ever applied to my experiences. I thought that word was only used for natural disasters or surviving a war zone.
I had no idea that "trauma is what happens inside of us because of what happens to us" (Gabor Mate)—and that it’s so sneaky and invisible that we can mistake what we endured as proof that something is wrong with us.
I didn’t know I had been groomed by my earliest experiences to confuse love with harm, to unconsciously believe that the price of connection was my own pain and degradation.
That moment, sitting in that tub and crying from the depths of my soul - screaming angrily at God - changed everything.
I realized the answers I had been searching for couldn’t come from anyone else. They had to come from within. Something had to SHIFT and that something was actually someone: ME.
My Shifts Came Through Reconnection - With Myself
Connecting to my body became my act of freedom. Asking myself questions and getting curious about me, instead of shaming and judgmental, helped me start to know myself.
I had to get to know me before I could even begin to love me.
I learned to slow down to attune to the quiet wisdom within me—a wisdom that doesn’t come from cognitive thought, from Western ideals or from linear logic.
It was tuning into my innate inner knowing—rooted in curiosity, sensation, intuition, and presence—that helped me encounter myself and start to forgive myself.
I began to see myself fully, witness my pain fully, develop self-compassion and create a relationship with myself that felt more humane, more loving, free and self-led.
Why The Attuned Shift Exists
The Attuned Shift was born out of lived experience.
It’s not just a brand—it’s a movement to help others do what I once thought was impossible:
To reclaim your relationship with yourself, find internal freedom, and live in ways that interrupt repeat patterns that oppress, abuse or limit you—internally or externally.
This is for anyone ready to shed the conditioning that keeps them small, silent, and disconnected.
This is for therapists and other healers seeking to create deeper connection and safe healing spaces for the people they support.
This is for those who know that healing is not linear, not purely cognitive, and not just individual—it’s relational, embodied, and deeply liberating.
And at the heart of it all is my lived experience and professional knowledge as a licensed therapist. Through The Attuned Shift, I offer resources, teachings, and courses like Walking on Eggshells? to help people:
- Meet themselves with compassion
- Know themselves more deeply
- Free themselves from what no longer serves them
Because true freedom begins not with perfection, but with acknowledgement witnessing and attuned presence.
The Vision
My mission is to create tools, courses, and resources that help people everywhere:
- ✨ Reconnect with their inner wisdom.
- ✨ Build a safe and compassionate relationship with themselves.
- ✨ Experience the kind of embodied freedom that transforms not just their own lives but the systems and relationships they inhabit.
Because when we are attuned—to ourselves, to each other, and to our shared humanity—we create real change.

Meet Simone
I know what it’s like to lose connection with yourself — and what it takes to come back home.
I grew up in an environment marked by trauma, abuse, neglect, poverty, and violence. Those early years taught me how to survive, but not how to feel safe, seen, or at home in my own skin.
At 30, I made the decision to return to school while working full-time, pursuing my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Counseling. It took nine years, countless late nights, and a steady commitment to my own healing to arrive where I am today: a therapist, teacher, and guide devoted to helping others reclaim their sense of self.
Through my work, I support people in cultivating internal freedom — the kind that lets you move through life with more trust, ease, and self-compassion. My approach honors the whole of who you are: body, mind, heart, spirit, and the deeper consciousness that holds it all.
Whether you’re just beginning to turn inward or have been walking this path for years, I’m here to walk alongside you as you discover what it feels like to belong fully to yourself.
