Helping individuals and organisations thrive through authentic leadership and holistic wellbeing:I am passionate about helping individuals and organisations thrive, drawing from a unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise in wellbeing, neuroscience, and leadership. As someone who has lived with chronic invisible illnesses throughout my career as a professional dancer, I’ve developed a profound understanding of wellbeing, not just on a personal level, but also in professional environments.This journey led me to found The Manning Institute, where I bring together my deep knowledge of neuroplasticity and holistic wellbeing with workplace culture expertise, guiding others towards creating healthier, more supportive work environments.As an award-winning radio host on Brainwaves at 3CR Melbourne, I focus on mental health issues through a lived experience lens. I’ve had the privilege of interviewing prominent figures such as Jacinta Parsons, Mimi Kwa, Jamila Rizvi, and Jo Stanley, bringing powerful stories of vulnerability out of the shadows and into the spotlight with compassion and understanding.I am also a keynote speaker, known for my authenticity, professionalism, and down-to-earth approach. I speak on topics such as human performance, leadership, and organisational wellbeing, striving to inspire and create lasting change in the lives of my audiences.My memoir, Living Human, offers a candid look at my personal experiences with pain, illness, and ultimately, triumph. It serves as both a raw and empowering account and a guide to embracing life’s obstacles and discovering one’s most authentic self.I am driven by a belief that we can all achieve meaningful change—both within ourselves and in the world around us.
