Apprenticeship
AWAKENING & BECOMING
“We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
A Guided Journey
How I Found My Teacher
There are many wonderful teachers out there leading self-mastery programs, mentorships, and apprenticeships. So, how do you know which one is the right one for you? Years ago, when I started my own spiritual journey, I was searching for that innocent sense of wonder I embodied as a child, to give myself permission to be as creative and intuitive as I knew I was, to come out of procrastination and to stop the exhausting negative self-talk that kept me from moving on. I longed to understand life and how I could bring something healing to my time here, to contribute in a meaningful way. I researched many professionals and experts in their fields. I asked a lot of questions, I attended discourses, I was hungry to find the right soul to grow with. Then one day I relaxed and let myself believe that the Universe was orchestrating the whole thing and that if I would let go, my teacher would be found. Not long after that I read “Present Moment, Wonderful Moment”, by Thich Nhat Hanh, and I knew I had arrived at my destination. I felt like I was home.
My advice to you in your search for a teacher is to ask yourself how you feel in his or her presence, because, as with everything else, it’s all about the energy of that soul and if your connection inspires you to trust, open, and grow. Don’t worry, your soul will let you know when you have found the right catalyst. You’ll sense it in your heart, your blood, your bones. Your cells will feel awakened and you’ll feel your lifelong yearning morphing into a quiet knowing.
The Apprenticeship is a deeply personal journey of spiritual exploration, practice and discovery. Designed for those who feel called to go deeper, it offers an opportunity to understand yourself more fully, strengthen your intuitive awareness, and explore your relationship to the spiritual realm.
Each Apprenticeship unfolds through a sequence of experiences that bring together meditation, inner exploration, study and practice. Guided by your individual needs and interests, the journey develops naturally, at a pace that honors your own process of discovery.
At its heart, the Apprenticeship is a commitment to yourself — a willingness to listen more deeply, explore what is calling you, and discover what is waiting to emerge.

Your One-To-One Apprenticeship
Our journey begins with listening — exploring where you are in your life, what may be holding you back, and what you are ready to understand, heal, or release. Through conversation, reflection, and guided meditation, we begin to create space for greater clarity, awareness, and a deeper connection with yourself.
As your Apprenticeship unfolds, we may explore a variety of spiritual and healing practices, depending on your interests and what feels most meaningful to you. These might include tarot, numerology, astrology, HART therapy, hypnotherapy, shamanic healing, energy work, or developing your intuitive gifts through clairvoyance, clairaudience, and other forms of spiritual awareness.
Some people come to study the metaphysical arts. Others seek personal healing, spiritual guidance, or a deeper connection with Quan Yin. There is no single path or prescribed sequence. Each Apprenticeship is shaped around your individual needs, interests, and intentions.
Our time together may unfold over six months, a year, or longer. What matters most is allowing the journey to develop naturally, with trust, openness, and a willingness to discover more fully who you are.
At its heart, the Apprenticeship is about coming home to yourself — finding greater peace, confidence, and connection with your own inner wisdom.
Let me know if I can help you in your quest. I would be honored to be a part of your homecoming.
Why do you feel you were born into this life?
Do you have an interest in developing your connection to your guides, spirit animals, and or ancestors the Other Side?
In what ways do you honor yourself?
Questions to ask yourself:
Who do you need to forgive fully in this life in order to move on? What are you trying to release and heal?
What has been the most amazing time of your life?
How can you recreate that feeling again? Are you aware of your intuition?
Do you have a sense of yourself as an empath or intuitive and want to develop those parts of yourself as a possible career path?
Are you interested in exploring past lives and bringing gifts from those times into your present life?
“Simone has been a shining star in my life for over 12 years. She is so much more than a coach, mentor, or healer. She is a loving guide whose wisdom, presence, and support have profoundly touched my life. When I faced major surgery seven years ago, the tools she shared with me brought deep peace, trust, and ease to both the process and my healing. I feel incredibly grateful to have her in my life and for the beautiful light she brings to my journey.”
Amy Dadich, Northern CA
“The Apprenticeship has radically transformed my spiritual path. Simone has created a sacred space for me to explore, heal and grow in ways I could never have imagined. She has opened the door to an entirely new world — one that I never knew existed. The depth of healing I have experienced has been truly life-altering.”

"It was such an honor to study with Simone in an Apprenticeship. She taught me to open and expand my gifts and bring them into the light to help others and myself."
- Tina Drugg, Spiritual Teacher, Oregon
“My apprenticeship with Simone helped me transform what could have been a traumatic and destabilizing life transition into an alchemical process of growth and renewal. Her kindness, patience, wisdom, and mastery helped me come into my own power. I will forever be grateful for her mentorship as I found my way through a dark passage and back into the light.”
