Many wellness practitioners may be stepping into the space of science, corporate wellbeing, health and nutrition. Still, not many nutritionists come from busy corporate backgrounds with formal professional speaking experience. Michele Chevalley Hedge, nutritional medicine practitioner and international wellbeing author, was previously a marketing manager at Microsoft. She truly understands the needs of time-poor corporate executives who, family or not, want health but not hassle. She is often introduced as "the modern-day nutritionist – the one who likes a bit of wine and coffee." Michele has recently completed her formal education in Positive Psychology which fuses nicely into her well-being presentation.

Michele’s passion is delivering well-being, keynotes, workshops, and webinars to organisations globally. Michele is an enthusiastic, good-humoured, evidence-based presenter with a unique Australian New York accent. Her winning speaker power is engaging the audience in “ahhhh ha- that is me! moments.” Not only does she exude passion and educate on the latest evidence-based research and trends, but it is imperative, according to Michele, that each engagement ends with realistic takeaways that they can begin immediately. You won’t find extremes with Michele you will not hear ‘pseudo-science’ – you will find an inspiring human with a toolkit full of ideas to improve brain function, energy, mental wellbeing, immune system, energy, sleep, productivity, and more.

Michele works with many international corporations and schools – American Express, Amazon, Virgin Airlines, Westpac, CBA, ANZ, HSBC, Apple, Dropbox, Dexus, News.com, Financial Planning Association, AMP, Accenture, Dexus, Woolworths, Bankers Trust, Business Chicks, JLL, Carroll & O'Dea Lawyers, Herbert Smith, Freehills, ACCOR, Westfield, Department of Defence, Australian Police Force, Tourism Portfolio, Heart Research Australia, and more.

The Dalai Lama introduced her at a conference where she presented on 'Vitality, Energy and Serotonin - It's all in Your Food'. Mental health and nutrition research is her passion and has been nominated for Australia Mental Health Awards Finals three years in a row. She also was recently was hand selected for Sir Richard Branson’s Leadership Summit at his home on Necker Island.
