Wise Monkey's mission is to:
- Demystify the world of finance.
- Relieve people of the stress relating to their financial worries.
- Help them use their money effectively so they can reach their highest aspirations in life.
Simonne founded Wise Monkey Financial Coaching in 2002 after working as a fee-based independent financial adviser for 10 years. She stepped away from the traditional industry because she felt there was a need for guidance and support relating to money that had nothing to do with products. To design a completely different type of service to the traditional financial services model - one that focuses on empowering clients in money matters.
"Simonne possesses an insightful, warm and practical style backed by her own financial work experience that offers a safe, non-judgemental space to work through a topic fraught with emotion and old belief systems that can either hold us back or free us to do the things we truly desire. Working with Simonne has been the single best investment I've ever made." Kate, London
Simonne acquired additional skills through the fields of coaching, psychology and personal development, to complement her practical financial skills and knowledge.
"It has been deeply revealing, and also very rewarding and developmental, to work with you. The beginning of a new relationship to life!" Ingrid, London
