Wellbeing Coaching Adelaide
Leading with Purpose. Innovating with Heart.
Meet the woman behind the movement – her story, strategy, and purpose that’s 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.
Why Wellbeing by Design Exists
You’re here because you want meaningful, sustainable change – and not the kind that comes from off-the-shelf solutions.
You’re looking for a trusted partner. Someone who understands the challenges, shares your goals, and walks beside you to co-create a thriving future. That’s exactly why Wellbeing by Design exists.
Founded by award-winning coach and wellbeing strategist Michelle Hasani, Wellbeing by Design empowers midlife professionals, leaders, and organisations to thrive, from the inside out.
Through our Signature Model, we place wellbeing at the centre and move through Self, Structure, and Sustainability to design strategies that spark transformation — for individuals, teams, and entire workplaces.
Our Story: Meet Michelle
Founder Wellbeing by Desgn Australia | Award Winning Coach
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 contexts — from grassroots initiatives to high-level strategy and systems change.
I’ve partnered with government departments, nonprofits, and values-led businesses to embed wellbeing into leadership, culture, and community. My work is grounded in co-design, blending systems thinking, coaching, and mental fitness to create lasting impact.
Whether guiding leaders through transformation or facilitating place-based wellbeing initiatives, I bring strategic insight, human-centred design, and a commitment to creating environments where people and purpose thrive.
Founding Purpose behind Wellbeing by Design
After decades in leadership and consulting roles — and through my own experiences with burnout, a cancer diagnosis at 45, and the experience of medically-induced menopause following breast cancer treatment. I knew something needed to shift.
We need a new way to live and lead. One that puts the person – and their wellbeing – first. One that recognises we are more than the positions we hold or the titles we carry.
That why I created Wellbeing by Design to offer more than surface level fixes.
Through co-designed, human-centred strategies, I support people and organisations to lead from within, build cultures that thrive, and unlock what’s possible when wellbeing is truly placed at the centre.
This journey isn’t just professional — it’s deeply personal.
As a wife, mother, friend, sister, daughter, and leader, I understand what it means to balance purpose, wellbeing, and the demands of real life.
This work is more than a career — it’s a calling. And I believe it matters.
Our Mission
To empower you to place wellbeing at the centre of how you live, work, and lead - because when people thrive, organisations thrive.
Our Vision
We envision a world where leadership grounded in wellbeing sparks a movement that empowers individuals and organisations to thrive, redefining how we live, work, and lead.
Leadership & Experience
Across my career, I’ve held leadership roles across government, nonprofit, and community sectors — always with a focus on systems change, strategic wellbeing, and human-first leadership.
My work has contributed to state-wide mental health reform, homelessness policy, and the design of programs that empower people and communities to thrive.
Earlier in my career, I served with World Vision International in post-conflict Eastern Europe — an experience that shaped my commitment to inclusive, values-driven leadership.
More recently, I’ve led place-based wellbeing initiatives, co-designed financial inclusion strategies, and supported professionals and teams to build resilience, clarity, and sustainable success.
Whether leading at the policy level or facilitating change with individuals and teams, my goal is the same: to help people lead well, live well, and thrive — from the inside out.
Credentials and Qualifications
Continual learning and evidence-based practice are integral to how I work. These credentials reflect my commitment to blending practical, academic, and experiential knowledge — so I can bring the best of all worlds to the people and organisations I work with.
With over two decades of experience, I hold certifications in Positive Intelligence, Health & Wellness Coaching, Fitness and Exercise Oncology. My academic background includes a Graduate Diploma in Applied Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies and Health Education.
