About Dr. Simone Alicia
The Self Esteem Doctor
Before she became The Self Esteem Doctor, Dr. Simone Alicia walked on runways and taught in classrooms.
Those two seemingly different worlds had something important in common: both gave her a front-row seat to human performance—but from very different vantage points. Together, they gave her a more dynamic view of what people present on the outside and what is happening within the SELF.
As an educator, she became fascinated with metacognition—thinking about thinking—and with making invisible internal processes easier to understand.
Along the way, Dr. Simone discovered one of the defining characteristics of her work: an ability to find the thread connecting unusual but beneficial ideas and practices, then weave them together for meaningful real-life application. Rather than selecting one way to be the best, her work explores different ways people can access the best within themselves.
Nearly two decades later, that exploration has grown into an entire body of work.
As The Self Esteem Doctor, Dr. Simone teaches people to better understand the way they think and feel about themselves—and the broader internal processes they carry into their relationships, decisions, ambitions, performance, and experience of success.
What Dr. Simone Does & How:
Dr. Simone teaches accomplished people to become more aware of the internal processes they carry into the way they live, relate, lead, perform, and experience success.
Using education, guided experiences, tools, and intentional practice, she makes those processes easier to recognize and understand—giving people different ways to explore and intentionally work with the SELF as their lives continue to expand.
Her approach brings together three dimensions of the human experience: mind, body, and soul.
The Mind:
Dr. Simone draws from integrative psychology through Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to explore how thoughts, language, internal imagery, and automatic reactions can influence the way we experience and respond to life.
Through language, visualization, humor, reflection, and highly interactive exercises, she helps make internal processes that often happen automatically easier to notice and understand.
Once those processes become more visible, they become something you can examine, question, redirect, rehearse, and intentionally refine—rather than simply allowing familiar patterns to run unnoticed.
The Body:
Long before Dr. Simone studied the connection between physiology and internal states, she experienced the power of the body through her work as a professional runway and print model.
That background now intersects with her training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, where “modeling” means studying how someone produces a particular result—including what they think, feel, do, and how they use their body.
Dr. Simone incorporates posture, movement, breathing, tapping, and emotional embodiment to help people explore how changes in the body can influence their internal experience—and how internal states can influence the way they physically show up.
This makes the body another powerful asset to notice, understand, and intentionally refine what is happening within.
The Soul:
The soul dimension of Dr. Simone's work comes from her study and practice of metaphysical science, which explores questions about reality and human experience beyond what is purely physical.
Within this part of her work, Dr. Simone explores the True Self: an understanding that SELF is not defined solely by accomplishments, titles, possessions, other people's opinions, or the roles you perform. It's an inner state of being that can be practiced and embodied without external validation.
Drawing from her Ph.D. studies in Metaphysical Science, she explores concepts including purpose, consciousness, gratitude, Universal Laws, and our relationship with something greater than the physical self. This dimension of her work is spiritual rather than religious and does not require every person to hold the same beliefs.
For Dr. Simone, bringing soul into the conversation creates room to explore not only what you are accomplishing physically, but who you understand yourself to be at your core as you accomplish it.
The Whole Person Behind the Success:
Dr. Simone's work brings mind, body, and soul together because the person creating an extraordinary life is not divided into separate parts. The way you think, the way you feel, the way you use your body, what you believe, and the way you understand yourself at your core can all become part of how you experience the life you are creating.
This is the SELF at the center of Dr. Simone's work. Her work teaches you to identify and understand these internal processes and gives you practical ways to intentionally refine them—so greater awareness of yourself becomes something you can carry into your decisions, relationships, ambitions, accomplishments, and whatever you choose to create next.
