Health and Wellbeing Coaching Adelaide
Leading with Purpose. Innovating with Heart.
Meet the woman behind the movement — her story, strategy, and purpose reshaping reshaping how we live, work, and lead.
Wellbeing is Freedom
It’s the quiet strength – the confidence that activates your agency to choose, to lead, and to live on your own terms.
When we place wellbeing at the centre, we open the door to possibility — for ourselves, our teams, and our communities.
At Wellbeing by Design, we’re building more than programs — we’re creating a movement that redefines leadership through wellbeing.
Why I Do This Work
I know what it feels like to lead on empty — showing up for everyone else while quietly burning out, doubting your direction, and wondering when you lost the spark that once inspired you.
For years, I led teams and projects through change and pressure — in health, community, and leadership roles. Then life delivered its own lessons: career transitions, health challenges, and moments that tested my resilience and perspective.
Those experiences taught me that wellbeing isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation of great leadership and meaningful success.
That’s why I created Wellbeing by Design — to help leaders and organisations navigate complexity with calm confidence, and clarity, because when we lead from wellbeing, we don’t just perform better — we create lasting impact.
Helping Leaders and Organisations Thrive
Through coaching, education, and strategic wellbeing design, we help individuals and organisations move from burnout to balance — and from pressure to purpose.
Our work combines leadership development, mental fitness training (Positive Intelligence®), and evidence-based wellbeing frameworks, anchored in our Signature Model (Self → Structure → Sustainability).
Together, these create lasting transformation — building calm, confident, resilient leaders and cultures where wellbeing drives performance.
Practical. Personal.
Co-Designed With You.
Every person and organisation is unique — which is why we don’t deliver cookie-cutter programs.
Our approach blends empathy with evidence, helping you understand what’s driving stress, disconnection, or underperformance — then co-designing strategies that create meaningful, lasting change.
It’s not just about feeling better. It’s about working smarter, leading wisely, and thriving longer.
The Wellbeing by Design Signature Model
At the heart of everything we do is Wellbeing.
Our Signature Model guides you through three transformative pillars that bring focus, structure, and sustainability to your leadership and culture.
Self
Structure
Sustainability
Meet Michelle Hasani
Hi, I’m Michelle Hasani — a Wellbeing Strategist, Mental Fitness Coach, and change-maker helping leaders and workplaces reimagine how we live, work, and lead.
With over two decades of experience across leadership, wellbeing, and community development — spanning government, not-for-profit, and business sectors — I bring a blend of evidence-based strategy, empathy, and insight to every conversation. Recognised as the HCANZA Health & Wellness Coach of the Year (2024),
Throughout my career, I’ve worked across local, national, and international contexts — 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.
The Heart Behind Wellbeing by Design
My approach blends co-design, mental fitness, and systems thinking to create lasting impact. I’m grounded, compassionate, and results-focused — combining real-life experience with practical frameworks that help people and teams thrive.
My work is also deeply personal. After navigating burnout, breast cancer at 45, and early menopause, I learned firsthand that wellbeing isn’t a luxury — it’s the foundation for how we live, work, and lead.
That experience shaped my mission: to help others reclaim their agency, restore wellbeing, and lead with courage, confidence, and care through life’s transitions and challenges.
