Simone works for Alfred Health and the Monash University FODMAP Research Team. It was while working with Monash that she became aware of the potential for psychological therapies to improve gastrointestinal symptoms in people with gastrointestinal disorders and completed her PhD examining the role of gut-directed hypnotherapy as a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome. Simone was the first gut-directed hypnotherapist to be employed in the public healthcare system in Australia and runs the Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy Program in Melbourne at the Alfred Hospital Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders Clinic.
