Meet Simone
With 15 years of experience as a high school teacher, Simone created Simone Says to support girls as they navigate the challenges of growing up with greater confidence, resilience and self-awareness.
Through her teaching experience with high school students and her broader work with girls aged 5–18, Simone has seen firsthand the increasing pressures young women face both inside and outside the classroom. Through years of teaching, mentoring and wellbeing-focused conversations, she recognised the importance of creating supportive spaces where girls feel heard, understood and empowered.
Drawing on her background in education, nutrition, movement and wellbeing, Simone delivers school presentations and parent & daughter information evenings for high school girls, alongside girls programs and holiday workshops for younger girls through to early teens.
Her school presentations and parent evenings provide practical education, strategies and guided conversations, while the girls programs and holiday workshops offer hands-on experiences through creative activities, movement, team activities and meaningful conversations. These programs create supportive spaces where girls can build confidence, friendships and self-belief.
Topics explored through Simone Says include confidence and self-worth, friendships and social pressures, emotional wellbeing, healthy habits and routines, nutrition and movement, mindset and resilience, social media awareness, stress management and self-care.
Known for her warm, relatable and down-to-earth approach, Simone creates environments where girls feel comfortable engaging in honest conversations while gaining practical tools they can apply in their daily lives.
Alongside her teaching background, Simone holds qualifications in nutrition and sports nutrition and has a strong personal passion for health, movement and wellbeing.
Through Simone Says, her goal is to help girls feel more confident in who they are, more connected to those around them and better equipped to navigate the teenage years with resilience and self-belief.
