What others have to say about working with Simone:

Whether she is following a personal story, asking difficult questions about my blind spots, or spontaneously laughing at something I didn't realize was so funny, Simone Moir is a trustworthy guide. Her ability to listen and respectfully respond, cut-to-the-chase or just enjoy silence, make her a skilled and attentive therapist. I've always found it hard to recommend artists to therapists because few understand the messy and tender creative process. Simone's background in art practice, Buddhist psychology and western clinical technique is a rare and important blend. Combining yoga wisdom and body practice with the stillness of guided meditation and the precision of western psychology, Simone has a gifted ability of juxtaposing different systems without oversimplifying any of them. As a clinician this is a rare gift - one that allows a range of perspectives so that anyone working with Simone can expect her to attend to you with many tools and a lot of patience. Finally, someone to serve the many creative people who had previously avoided therapeutic work.

Simone’s extensive knowledge of gestalt therapy, substance abuse, meditation and yoga makes her an excellent and informed teacher. I have taken yoga classes all over the city of Toronto and strongly suggest Simone as a teacher who has the knowledge to engage you intellectually and spiritually through yoga. After participating in an 8-day intensive with her I had acquired basic tools that helped me to start my own daily meditation practice and I started to have a sense of how yoga could actually help my anxiety and general well being. This workshop led to a deeper awareness of my own addictive patterns and started me on my journey towards inner peace.

Simone's yoga classes are subtle, powerful, and surprising. She pays critical attention to your breathing as she instructs, and this is fundamental to her approach: familiar asanas are new again as your body slows, expands and contracts with your breath, always in a fresh way. I have experienced profound stillness in her classes, as well as intense energy. Best of all, I find clarity there, and I have been able to bring this to my creative work out of the yoga studio.
