About Simon
Hi, I’m Si. I didn't come to meditation seeking enlightenment; I came to it seeking a way to manage the intense pressure of a demanding career without losing my edge.
For over 20 years, I operated in the exact environments you do today. . . Finance, media, and entrepreneurship. I know the adrenaline of the deal, the weight of the 14-hour days, and the silent, compounding cost of chronic stress.
Like many ambitious professionals, I viewed "downtime" as a weakness and stress as a fuel source. Eventually, that fuel ran out. My ability to maintain focus was fractured, my decision-making became reactive, and my resilience was running on fumes.
Meditation became my protocol for recovery. But as I deepened my practice, I realised it was much more than simply a tool for managing stress. It was a profound method for cognitive enhancement.
I teach meditation to bring these exact tools to other leaders. I stripped away the jargon and the dogma to focus entirely on what matters: evidence-based techniques that deliver measurable improvements. My philosophy is simple: empathy, creativity, and resilience are not fixed traits; they are trainable assets.
My Qualifications & Expertise
In an unregulated industry, professional training matters. I am not a "guru"; I am a qualified teacher.
Accredited Expertise: I hold an externally accredited Diploma from the British School of Meditation (DipBSoM), a rigorous training programme recognised by the UK government's Ofqual register.
15+ Years of Practice: My teaching is grounded in over a decade and a half of personal practice, exploring the mechanics of attention and its modern scientific applications.
Executive Experience: My background in business means I understand the specific cognitive demands of leadership. I don't teach you how to retreat from the world; I teach you how to engage with it more skilfully.
Whether you are looking for an expert meditation guide to navigate a difficult transition, or you want to utilise mindfulness to foster greater innovation and build better relationships with your team, I am here to provide the roadmap. My goal is to give you the toolkit to become the most effective, clear-headed, and resilient version of yourself.

My approach to meditation is evidence-based, structured, and firmly rooted in cognitive science. Think of our sessions as a gym for your brain. Relying on the proven science of neuroplasticity, I teach you how to meditate to actively reshape your mind.
We'll explore specific types of meditation practice to achieve targeted results:
The Relaxation Response & Body Scan:
Think of this as your physical reset button. By actively calming the "fight-or-flight" response, we lower your heart rate and cortisol levels. It provides a highly effective tool for managing stress and quickly restoring your physical and mental baseline.
Mindfulness:
Learn how to step back and observe your thoughts without getting tangled up in them. This dramatically reduces overthinking and helps you maintain absolute clarity and calm when the pressure is on.
Focused Attention:
We train your brain to stay entirely present. This shuts down the exhausting "mind chatter," sharpening your focus and attention so you can make swift, superior decisions without distraction.
Open Awareness:
To foster innovation and unlock creativity, we practise opening the mind to new perspectives. This encourages fresh, outside-the-box thinking, helping you solve complex challenges with innovative solutions.
Metta (Compassion Training):
Empathy is a cornerstone of modern leadership. These specific cultivation practices help you build trust and foster better relationships within your teams, inspiring action without the risk of emotional burnout.
As highlighted in modern neuroscientific research, this regular guided meditation practice primes brain cells to fire together, strengthening the physical structures of the brain that are essential for superior decision-making, memory, and emotional flexibility.
• Typical length of a lesson
Each private, 1-to-1 session is exactly 45 minutes long. This duration is strategically designed to provide a comprehensive meditation guide, discussion, and practice, while seamlessly fitting into a demanding professional schedule.
• Qualifications and experience
I am a certified meditation teacher through the British School of Meditation, professionally trained to deliver evidence-based cognitive training. Operating at the intersection of business and wellbeing, I understand the unique pressures faced by ambitious individuals and leaders. My teaching avoids jargon and focuses entirely on practical, measurable techniques that translate directly into your daily life.
• Who the lessons are for
These sessions are specifically designed for driven professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, and those aspiring to these roles (typically aged 25–55).
You don't need any prior experience. Whether you are a complete beginner looking to find mental clarity, or an experienced practitioner wanting to refine your empathy, build better relationships, and cultivate superior leadership skills, each 45-minute session is entirely tailored to optimise your capabilities.
