Our Story Meet Michelle
I’m Michelle Hasani – a Wellbeing Strategist, Mental Fitness Coach, and change-maker helping leaders and workplaces reimagine how we live, work, and lead.
Over the past 20+ years, my work has spanned local, national, and international settings — from grassroots initiatives to policy reform, leadership development, and complex systems change.
I’ve partnered with government departments, nonprofits, and values-led businesses to embed wellbeing into leadership, culture, and strategy. My work blends co-design, mental fitness, and systems thinking to create lasting impact.
What drives my work
Whether guiding leaders through transformation or facilitating place-based wellbeing initiatives, I bring a mix of strategic insight, human-centred design, a wealth of experience and a commitment to creating environments where people and purpose thrive.
After decades in leadership and consulting roles, and through my own experiences with burnout, a breast cancer diagnosis at 45, and medically-induced menopause, I knew something had to shift.
That turning point became a defining moment — shaping my personal mission:
To empower others to reclaim their agency, restore wellbeing, and lead with courage, confidence, care, and conviction through life’s transitions and challenges.
Why This Work Matters
I founded Wellbeing by Design to go beyond one-size-fits-all approaches — because meaningful change isn’t generic.
I support individuals and organisations to lead from within, build cultures where people thrive, and unlock what’s possible when wellbeing is placed at the centre of how we live, work, and lead.
We need a new way to Lead
One that
- puts the person and their wellbeing – first.
- recognises we are more than the positions or title we hold.
- sees leadership not just as a role, but as a human responsibility.
This journey is personal.
As a wife, mother, sister, friend and leader, I understand what it means to carry purpose, care for others, and lead through change. That experience shapes how I coach, co-design, and support others to thrive.
What I Believe
Wellbeing isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation of clear thinking, compassionate leadership, and resilient teams and it belongs at the centre of everything we do..
My Approach
I blend systems thinking, mental fitness and strategic co-design to create practical, sustainable solutions for individuals and organisations alike.
