Emelly Simons is sharp, straight-talking, and fiercely committed to helping salon and clinic owners get their businesses (and their confidence) back on track. She’s been called the sparkly Gordon Ramsay of the industry with over 20 years in the beauty and aesthetics space, she knows exactly what it takes to turn a struggling business into a thriving one, and she’s not afraid to say what others won’t.

Her journey began in a small treatment room as a beauty therapist, before evolving into education and then a leadership role managing multimillion-dollar portfolios for one of Australia’s top skin brands. She's worked across day spas, medi-clinics, cosmetic injectables and franchise models, giving her a unique perspective that bridges both the professional and wholesale sides of the industry.

But Emelly’s magic isn’t just in strategy, it’s in the way she fuses creative thinking and nervous system support into everything she teaches. Because growing a business isn’t just about numbers; it’s about staying regulated, inspired and clear-headed enough to make bold decisions. Her workshops, coaching, and speaking sessions blend practical tools with creative techniques that help professionals build from the inside out — creating success that feels as good as it looks.

Emelly is known for delivering truth with heart. She’ll challenge what’s not working, simplify the overcomplicated, and champion you toward a business that reflects your version of success, not someone else’s formula.

Based on the Redlands Coast in QLD, she’s a proud mum of two adult children, and lives for good conversation, fresh experiences, and helping beauty pros back themselves fully — in business and in life.
