Simona Irwin

Simona Irwin is a mindfulness teacher, neuroplasticity coach and somatic practitioner, and a mother of two boys. She is the creator of the Befriending Fear series and has spent over two decades supporting people in reconnecting with the intelligence of the body and what she calls the soft, flowing core of love within, even in the most challenging moments.

Her work draws on somatic practice, mindfulness, neuroscience, inquiry and gentle exposure, all offered at a paced, capacity-based rhythm. It is rooted in deep ecology, systemic constellations and the interconnection of all things. She sees healing as relational as well as personal: a repair of the ruptures that separate us from ourselves, from each other and from the natural world. She supports people living with trauma, complex PTSD, chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, anxiety and OCD.

Simona hosts The Gathering Stream, an ongoing community space with weekly live classes, guest teachers and a library of teachings. She also offers embodied systemic constellation work, including online one-to-one sessions.

Movement is part of her path too. She is training as a 5Rhythms teacher, mentored by Ajay Rajani and Nikki Ashley, and names Layah Jane Singer-Wilson as her home teacher in the practice.
