More about me and
my story
“
Life is a journey of unlearning our training, of remembering who we are and our innate Freedom
Leilah Simone
I am Leilah
like Lilac..
...and beyond the labels
and achievements, I'd love for you
to meet who I am
I’m a free-spirit, dancing to the rhythm of my own drum, exploring new perspectives and horizons. A life-long student, with Life itself as
my greatest Teacher.
​
My mission is to be a walking, breathing, dancing invitation for you to step into your power, unlock your inner guidance, embody your true expression and reclaim your unique gifts. So that you can live the bold, bright and brilliant life your heart calls for.
I started dancing at 2 years young. It was a sudden outburst of wild, free and joyfully rhythmic movement that spurred my parents to put me into training. There were of course many gifts from starting so young, but what was also trained was hyper self-consciousness, constant comparison, being outstanding and simultaneously not enough, obsessive perfectionism, normalised sexualisation and objectification and body dysmorphia. By the age of 16, I was a master of my body and so totally broken inside that I gave up on dancing ever again.​
At 22 I had a sudden spiritual breakthrough that turned my world upside down and (quite literally) inside out, and confronted me with my mental health. Scrambling for tools that would help me make sense of what was happening to me, I found meditation and yoga. It was here that I began my work of em-bodiment and Dance re-entered my life in a new role - a Spiritual Teacher. One that would help me unlearn my training and show me the path to Freedom.
Dance became a powerful mirror that allowed me to witness myself, for all of the ways that I abandoned or was untrue to my authentic self - for all the ways I was hiding my true essence - for all the ways I had given my power away to something outside of me.
It has led me since then on a journey of self-discovery and reclamation, that has called me to understand our human existence through studying human psychology, jungian psychology, philosophy, the body, trauma, emotions, dreams, altered states of consciousness, Shamanism and nature.
Over the last 10 years I've moved through countless initiations of death and rebirth, shedding layers that no longer serve my highest expression. And through
all of those cycles, I've come to experience
an ever expanding sense of freedom, with a deeper sense of peace, passion and purpose than I ever imagined was possible.
I owe this newfound way of being to all of these powerful tools and teachers that I've encountered along the way. All of these teachings are infused and synthesised into the spaces that I hold for my clients. And it is my honour to share my learnings with you, to support your journey as you reclaim
your unique wisdom and true potential.
with love,
Leilah
