Simone Noseda was not always a spiritual guide. Once immersed in the fast-paced world of European fashion, his path took a profound turn in 2003 after a serendipitous meeting with Mata Amritanandamayi—affectionately known as Amma—in Italy. Known globally as the “hugging saint,” Amma has embraced over 40 million people across the globe. That single, grace-filled hug, infused with boundless compassion and shakti, became a turning point in Simone’s life, steering him toward a deeply spiritual path.
But his journey into the world of inner awakening had begun long before. In 1993, Simone experienced a powerful spiritual initiation—Shaktipat, the awakening of Kundalini—from Siddha Guru Gurumayi Chidvilasananda. This moment marked the true beginning of his inner evolution.
By the year 2000, Simone had manifested what he refers to as “minor siddhis,” including healing, clairvoyance, and clairaudience. These intuitive gifts became the foundation of his spiritual and shamanic healing practice, which he continues to offer to this day.
Simone shares that he is entirely guided by a Siddha healer who connects with him from the astral plane—a presence he channels during his sessions. This connection offers clarity, energy work, and deeply intuitive guidance for those who come to him for healing.

His encounter with Amma in 2003 deepened his devotion to the Divine Mother. Simone spent three transformative years doing full-time sadhana in her ashram, where he established a lasting bond with the Divine Feminine in the forms of Kali and Durga. These divine energies often make their presence felt during his healing sessions, and he credits Amma’s grace for helping him navigate a difficult life transition during that period.
In 2013, another milestone unfolded when Simone met Mooji, the renowned Advaita teacher. Mooji’s direct pointing helped him break free from the illusion of bondage and recognize the truth of non-dual awareness.
A decade later, in 2023, the respected Advaita teacher David Bingham affirmed Simone’s readiness to guide others on the path to Self-realization. This marked the beginning of a new chapter—one in which Simone stepped fully into his role as a spiritual guide and teacher.
“The guru reveals your inner divinity and this unity that exists beyond the personality,”Simone has said in his talks, describing a meditative state where he saw the guru, God, and himself as one—a realization that transcended the ego and shattered spiritual boundaries.
Simone’s journey is not isolated; it reflects a growing cultural shift toward authenticity, spiritual healing, and consciousness-based living. His story is a testament to the soul’s quiet call—and the miracles that unfold when one dares to answer it.
For those seeking to experience his work or join his healing sessions, Simone offers personal retreats in Dharamkot, Himachal Pradesh, and can be reached through Dharte—one breath, one meditation, one awakening at a time.
