About
Melinda Carbis-Reilly is a motivational speaker for hire in Newcastle, NSW.
Melinda Carbis-Reilly speaks on happiness, health and fitness, and does it through a personal story that tends to move a room around from laughter to tears and back again. She's an author, naturopath, meditation teacher, fitness leader and business owner, and over 18 years of coaching, workshops and speaking she's learned how to shape a talk to the group in front of her rather than deliver the same one twice. Her subjects include overcoming trauma and loss, managing stress, holistic nutrition, the power of the mind, and exercise. The format flexes from a keynote to a hands-on workshop. She knows what goes into running an event, so she makes her end of it easy. Slides and film are an option, not a requirement.

The show
Melinda has run enough events herself to know what a coordinator is juggling, so eighteen years in she keeps her end of it simple for you. You choose which part of her story and her professional work the talk should draw on, and she builds it around that. Trauma and loss, stress, holistic nutrition, the power of the mind, exercise. It can be a keynote in front of a big room or a practical workshop where people do something with their hands. She's a storyteller first, which is why the messages stick.
On the day
Slides and film are welcome if your venue can run them, and Melinda would rather have the option than not. But she'll speak without either, so a room with no screen and no projector still works fine.
