Simone MacKay

Teaching Collaborator

I am a Soul Guide dedicated to helping people find their path, grow and thrive through life’s challenges, and connect with—and live from—their soul. My approach offers a nurturing and educational space rooted in timeless wisdom traditions and nature-connection. I am a seasoned teacher and counselor with extensive experience in yoga, somatic coaching, social work, and soul-centered guidance. With a degree in Social Work, I dedicated years to supporting women impacted by domestic violence and abuse. Canadian-born and raised in Switzerland, my global nomadic life has led me to guide yoga trainings across continents, enriching my teachings with diverse life experiences.

As the founder of Somah Journeys & the School of Sacred Arts and a Yoga Alliance-accredited teacher for over two decades, my practice is deeply rooted in Yogic philosophy. Leading my yoga teacher trainings with an international team, I empower individuals to navigate their journeys with enhanced ease, discernment, and belonging.

I am also a certified trauma-informed, somatic-based plant medicine integration practitioner. My offerings uniquely weave mindfulness, yogic practices, soul-centered coaching, and earth-honoring wisdom traditions. By working with the body’s intelligence, I help untangle unconscious patterns through body-based practices, activating the body’s healing potential, balancing the body, mind, and soul, and empowering others to tap into a greater trust of life’s deeper currents.

Rooted in 25+ years of facilitating transformation, I guide thousands to access their own wisdom and achieve greater peace and balance, inviting an open-hearted and aligned way of being that contributes to the shift in humanity’s consciousness.
