In 2005, Melanie had a life-threatening car accident in Canberra that left her with a severe traumatic brain injury. Learning to walk and talk again was the easy part of her recovery. The rewiring of her emotional and spiritual life took many more years.

What Melanie learned about the brain and neuroplasticity through this car accident allowed her to create her own business, The Balanced Brain.

Through this business, Melanie now works with people to build their self-awareness and resilience through coaching, workshop and keynote speaking.
