I originally learned about Feng Shui from a family member when moved into a new house in Colorado years ago. I was given the gift of a home analysis and design by a consultant. One of the first things I did when I moved to Chicago was look for a similar consultant to help me out with a new apartment space... I was thoroughly impressed with Simone and her company Aligned Inside. Simone is not just another "similar consultant", she is a compassionate person, good listener and very informed on feng shui. I looked at a variety of people in Chicago, and had the fortune of finding her website online. From day one, I was impressed with her professionalism and responsiveness. Soon after our initial consultation, I was given a very detailed analysis of my space, and she has since followed up with several emails checking in to see how things were going, and if I had any additional questions. I would highly recommend her, and would be happy to be a reference for her for anyone seeking a similar service. While I appreciated the feng shui analysis I had when I moved into my first home in CO, I can't help but remark on the difference between great service, and exceptional service with Simone and her company. read more

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many thanks to Simone! She was my partner throughout the Empowerment Training Program and acted as both my coach and client. I have noticed tremendous changes in my life already. Simone's caring and gentle nature allowed me to journey to places of conflict and pain which were stored within my psyche. She helped me to realize the limiting beliefs that emerged from those areas and turn them around, forming affirmations. She helped me to discover my growing edges (next steps towards growth) in the areas of emotions, relationships, sexuality, the body, money, work and spirituality. My life is now exciting and I'm moving forward in directions which are pointing me towards my true life purpose. I would highly recommend Coach Simone to anyone. You'll be amazed at the results!

Reiki is a wonderful and powerful energy healing modality. It can change your life whether you are dealing with disease and illness or whether you are healthy and need to relax, de-stress, or attain balance. I have received Reiki treatments in the past from numerous practitioners to help me relax, and I have to say Simone was the best! She brings a caring, attentive, and gentle nature to her work, which I believe helps make the client comfortable and more receptive. With Simone, I have felt the most unforgettable, and relaxing flow of energy cascading through me during my treatment. Afterward, I felt more light, balanced, and relaxed--exactly what I was looking for! Thanks Simone! read more

I have been a clutter nut forever, and Simone really helped me out with her Email De-cluttering Program, I highly recommend her for anyone who needs help with de-cluttering and organizing and have her help you find your floor! The program was detailed, step-by-step and made it EASY for me to implement. I decided I needed personal help and had Simone work with me twice for 2 hours at my house and got more done than I had in several weeks with others help! Simone also gave me Reiki. It was my first Reiki treatment and I had a very positive response. I felt very relaxed afterwards and will definitely do it again!. Marilyn Dye - May 1, 2010 - Email Decluttering Program read more

Simone did an excellent job creating a layout, feng shuing, and designing my loft condo space. She was even able to help me source some new furniture pieces. I believed in her design, staging, and space clearing so much that I bought a package for my mom who needed help moving. After 20 years in one place and saving random pieces of mail and assorted papers, this was no small feat. My mom was under a strict deadline and within in two hours, Simone was able to help her clear out her dining room, kitchen, and den. She was patient and effective with my mom who tends to get overwhelmed quite easily. This made moving day very easy for my mom. Thank you Simone. read more

Simone did a great job with my onsite Feng Shui home assessment, and the final assessment report arrived quickly and professionally thereafter. I was initially skeptical that altering small things around the house would actually change my environment. However, after making many of the suggested home alterations, at one unexpected moment, I really felt that the atmosphere in my home was no longer as "heavy", that it was now much "lighter". And that realization was amazing and satisfying that I had actually taken some steps to improve my life. I enjoyed the experience. Thank you, Simone! read more

Through your Life Coaching I see what I have been missing, and not only that, you showed me how I can accomplish what I've always dreamed about. I feel enlightened regarding my future and I cannot thank you enough. I am so motivated! read more
