ABOUT LEAH

Leah Simmons is a 46 year old Australian woman whose career has centred around physical and emotional habit change for close to 2 decades Her process is direct and unique. Combining practical knowledge with authentic honesty, Leah used her own life experiences and founded KAAIAA in 2021.

“KAAIAA is the name I gave to a simple roadmap of taking my own daily habits and sequencing them into a workout companion for life. Something that is safe and easy to do every day. Powerful enough to make me feel good on the inside and practical enough to let me love my body on the outside."

Leah’s background is as a DJ, musician, athlete, pilates instructor, personal trainer and kundalini yoga teacher 17 years experience in the ‘Health and Wellness Industry’ has allowed her to watch fitness fads and ‘quick fixes’ come and go Leah’s professional convergence has been to innovate around what actually works and in-turn, let go of the noise She then distills and filters that back into a solution for her different communities

Leah is accessible and relatable A refreshing bridge between the physical and the spiritual As the fight to both look and feel good as we age becomes more real, Leah is able to articulate what many women feel but don’t have the courage to say KAAIAA is a practice that leaves buzz words at the door and personalises every moment for those willing to commit to the mat

“WHAT DOES WELLNESS MEAN NOW? IS IT A PRODUCT? HAS IT BECOME A COMMERCIAL MANIPULATION? I HAVE NO BUSINESS TELLING OTHERS WHAT WELLNESS MEANS TO THEM. YOUR DEFINITION OF HEALTHY LIVING IS PERSONAL TO YOU."

Wellness is a word that Leah has typically rejected throughout her career

"I simply share the combination of habits that have worked for me. Movement, breath work, meditation and mindset training all contribute to me looking and feeling the best I ever have. If any of these practices resonate with others in a meaningful way then I will happily teach them back to an engaged audience.”

Leah is a confident, knowledgeable speaker and thrives on robust debate. Her podcast appearances and unique insights have made her a favourite of many well-known fitness and corporate brands She has appeared as a TV panellist, a presenter and a moderator at a slew of high-profile events Her extensive experience and down-to-earth approach have seen her contribute to multiple national and international publications throughout her career She has hosted events, taught classes and spoken in front of thousands of people with her raw, honest and authentic view on life

Her passion for community and relatable nature have seen Leah own her space in the industry She is unashamedly different 46 years of age, an arms-length relationship with social media, unhealthily obsessed with 80’s music and a mother of 2 She is currently 1 of 8 Australian lululemon ambassadors and was voted Bondi Humanitarian of the Year in 2022 She donates her time to community groups such as Let’s Get

Going and Pink Hope

WIth her shaved head and crooked smile, Leah's observations of the world she inhabits are unapologetic, genuine and above all, her own.

“IF ANY OF MY WORDS OR THOUGHTS CAN CREATE A DIALOGUE, THEN MY TIME HAS BEEN WELL SPENT. LEAVING PEOPLE FEELING INSPIRED, MOTIVATED AND STRONG IS THE GOAL BUT IT’S

ACTUALLY THEIR OWN CRITICAL THOUGHT THAT WILL DRIVE THE CHANGE THEY WANT TO SEE IN THEMSELVES.”
