Michaela is a registered psychologist and training consultant living in the Northern Rivers. She is available to custom build and deliver mental health training programs throughout Australia. Her career is a blend of 25 years’ experience incorporating business management, corporate governance, human resources management and working with individuals to improve their mental health. 

Michaela was a finalist in the Telstra Young Business Woman of the Year Awards in 2006. This was a result of her work as a National Human Resources Manager in a start-up role with 1800 staff across 30 sites. Her work involved the creation and implementation of OH&S, workers’ compensation, recruitment and selection, performance management, culture change management, training and development and disciplinary systems which she personally rolled out throughout the organisation. Concurrently she co-founded an award-winning Children’s Charity supporting orphaned and abandoned children which has helped thousands of children since its inception. 

She has worked in the not-for-profit, hospitality and aged care sectors, consulted to government and non-government organisations including fast moving consumer goods. 

After more than a decade at the helm of Mullumbimby Psychology, Michaela has passed on the reins to focus on her passion for facilitating adaptive change at an organisational level through corporate mental health training.

Pysch Speak was born to grow our compassion and mental health awareness, facilitating adaptive change in the workplace, our families and beyond. This is achieved through workplace training, nurturing more inclusive, creative, productive and healthy staff and managers.
