1:1 Sessions With Simon

If you’d like to meet with Simon individually to discuss your breathing, you can do so by following the instructions below.

A question we sometimes hear is, Can I talk to Simon or see him for an individual session before I take the course?

We aren’t able to have individual email discussions with people before they join LNB; instead, we try to provide all relevant information for people considering joining LNB on these pages. However, people sometimes ask to book an individual session with Simon before joining the course, so we’ve made this option available and easy to book using the calendar below.

Please note, our best recommendation for anyone with Air Hunger or non-medical breathing dysfunction is to join Liberating the Natural Breath. It is designed to deliver the most effective guidance to you in the most efficient and affordable way. Once in LNB, you’ll be able to join Weekly Live Sessions and hear or engage in conversations with Simon and Amira.

However, we recognize that some people have a strong desire for someone to discuss their specific breathing situation with before joining the course. Although this is certainly not necessary for taking the course—again, we encourage you to go ahead and join the course if you have chronic breathing tension—we welcome you to book an individual session if you would like to. These sessions are charged at my standard hourly rate ($130) and take place over Zoom. Please note that it is highly likely that you’ll also need to join LNB ($249) to continue your journey after our session.

Instructions for booking an individual session

  • Follow this link to connect to my secure client portal system hosted by SimplePractice

  • Select “I’m a new client”

  • Select “LNB Breathing session”

  • Select “Video Office”

  • Select a time that works for you

    • Ensure you are aware which time zone the calendar is displaying and what it translates to in your own time zone. The default time zone is US East Coast time (EST or EDT, depending on whether daylight saving is active or not), but depending on computer settings, some people see their own time zone displayed, so be sure to double-check which time you’re booking in.

  • Complete the information required by the system, which includes your name, phone number, and a credit card number (you do not need to enter your date of birth). Your full credit card information is not handled by or visible to me; rather, it is stored by the HIPAA-compliant SimplePractice system and is processed by Stripe, the same company that processes credit card sign-ups for LNB. No payment is processed until after your scheduled session time.

Confirming the appointment

  • Your requested appointment time will then be awaiting confirmation; once it is confirmed, you’ll receive an email notifying you

  • The email you receive will also contain a “sign in” link that will enable you to access your profile; it will also prompt you to sign a short “credit card authorization form” required by the system. 

  • You’ll receive an email reminder about your appointment 48 hours before your scheduled time

Joining the session

  • At the appropriate time, click the link that says “join your video appointment,” which will open a secure video session in your web browser.

Payment

  • The system will automatically charge your credit card for the $130 (USD) session fee at around midnight (Eastern Time) at the end of the day of your scheduled appointment. This will appear on your credit card statement with the description “Simon Spire.”

  • Please note that the system is set up with a 24-hour cancellation policy and that any cancellations or scheduling changes made within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment incur the full session fee. If you do need to reschedule, you can always do so by signing in to your client portal and making the change there at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment time.

  • If you experience any issues, you can always email me
