Esther Simone
Somatic Intimacy Coach
From Burnout
To Aliveness
✦
For the woman who wants more —
more success, more love, more pleasure
A beautiful restaurant in Paris.
A successful launch.
Champagne overflowing.
You look around. And wondered —
When did achieving everything start to feel like nothing?
Hi, I'm Esther.
I know what it feels like to be in the most beautiful room in the world — and feel nothing.
Two decades in fashion and beauty. Global launches. First class. Paris.
And I was exhausted. Numb. Going through the motions in my career, my body, my marriage.
My body was the first to speak — a back surgery before my wedding left me unable to walk.
And I finally listened.
I found my way back through her — through the breath, the nervous system, the places where aliveness actually lives.
That lived experience — woven together with 25 years of yoga practice and my VITA certification — is what I bring into every session.
You can have everything - and still be somewhere else entirely.
Let’s start there.
The Connection No One Is Talking About
The Secret Link Between
Burnout and Intimacy
When a woman is in survival mode — running on adrenaline, over-functioning, managing a massive load — her nervous system is in a constant state of fight or flight.
To survive that pressure, the body does something very specific: it numbs down. It shuts down the sensory receptors for pleasure and softness — because those feelings require safety and relaxation.
The result?
At Work
She feels exhausted, mechanical, and like she’s living in a numb blur — going through the motions of a life she worked hard to build.
At Home
She cannot drop her armor when she gets home. She can’t connect with her partner, can’t access pleasure, and sex feels like just another chore on her to-do list.
Burnout is the cause.
The death of intimacy is the symptom.
Most women treat them as separate problems. They are not.
And that is exactly where this work begins.
What Becomes Possible
This is what life feels like
when you are fully alive in it.
The commitment is honored. The team is led. The result shows.
And this time — it felt like play.
It felt like you.
You get dressed in the morning. You choose what feels good — not what hides. Your body is no longer something you manage. It’s something you inhabit.
He reaches for you and this time your body says yes. Not from duty. Not from habit. From want.
It’s Sunday morning. Slow coffee. No urgency. No mental pacing. You can feel the warmth of the cup in your hands. You are not watching your life from the outside. You are entirely in it.
Working with Esther has been a deeply transformative experience. Over ten sessions, she created a space where I felt truly seen, heard, and genuinely held. There is a softness to her presence and a safety that allows you to bring your whole heart forward, and at the same time, a strength. She doesn’t let you hide.
With care and precision, she reflects back the blind spots you can’t yet see and gently guides you toward the truth of what you truly desire. Esther has a gift for listening between the lines. She hears not only the words, but the longing underneath them.
Esther doesn’t just coach from skill, she coaches from deep attunement. Her work opens the heart, strengthens self-trust, and expands your capacity for real love.

What you might be wondering
Who do you work with?
Women who have built full lives — and can’t feel them. She’s successful, capable, and somewhere along the way she went numb. She’s not broken. She’s exhausted. She may come to me because she can’t be present with her partner, or because her ambition has stalled, or because she simply can’t remember the last time she felt truly alive. The entry point varies. The work is the same: the body, the nervous system, the capacity to feel and receive.
Do you work with mothers?
Yes — and mothers are often the most burned out women I see. She’s running a household, often working too, managing everyone else’s needs, and somewhere at the bottom of that list — herself. She’s not having sex. She’s not resting. She’s not receiving. She’s functioning. This work creates the space she’s been desperate for — not to fix her family, but to come back to herself. When she does, everything changes.
How is this different from therapy?
Therapy is invaluable — and this is something different. We’re not diagnosing or treating. We’re not spending months analyzing your past. We work in the body, in the present moment, with what’s alive right now. You’ll leave sessions feeling something shift — not just understanding something new.
What does a session actually look like?
We talk, yes — but we also drop below the talking. I’ll guide you into your body, into your breath, into what’s actually happening underneath the words. Every session is different because every session follows you. There’s no script. There’s just presence.
How long until I see results?
Most women leave the first session feeling something they didn’t expect — a clarity, a softening, a sense of being met. The six-month container exists because real change takes time to integrate. We’re not putting a bandaid on anything — we go deeper than that.
What if I’ve already done a lot of inner work?
Good. That means you’re ready to go deeper. Many of my clients come having read everything, tried everything — and still feel stuck. That’s because this work happens in the body, not the mind. Whatever you’ve done has brought you here. Now we go all the way in.
