About Simon

Simon works with individuals and organizations in the tech, corporate and non-profit sectors, including Google and the United Nations. He inspires executives and employees through teachings that lead to ongoing optimal performance, high quality relational skills, in combination with increased resilience and wellbeing.

Simon was born in Britain and spent part of his childhood in East Africa with his parents who worked for Oxfam. He traveled extensively as a photographer, and studied and worked as an architect in London and New York. He then focused on the exploration of the mind through meditation, which is the foundation of his work in the corporate world. He has undertaken more than 20 years of intensive mindfulness training in India, Europe and North America, including four years as a Zen monk, and has studied western psychology through the Diamond Approach for 17 years. When he is not working Simon can be found tending to his bees, and practicing contemporary dance.

“It’s a joy to see the transformative impact of this work, which combines neuroscience, psychological understanding and the ancient mindfulness practices. I am inspired to continue supporting people and organizations in their ability to embrace the fullness of being human, the potential of a fulfilled professional path, and the possibility of an awakened personal life.” Simon Moyes
