Hi, I'm Madelynne
I'm a Practitioner Coach, audiovisual artist, facilitator and mentor based in Victoria, Australia, working with coaching clients online in Australia and internationally.
Curiosity has been a thread throughout much of my life and work. I'm interested in people, the choices we make, the assumptions we carry about ourselves and what can happen when we give ourselves the space to question what we already know.
My own experiences of change and growth are part of what eventually led me to coaching.
A Little About My Own Journey
My interest in change, identity and possibility isn't purely professional. I've experienced significant changes in my own life, including the breakdown of a long-term relationship and health challenges that changed how I thought about myself and the life I wanted to live.
Some changes I've chosen. Others I definitely wouldn't have chosen.
What I've discovered through those experiences is that change can also create space. I've grown through the difficult periods of my life, become more curious about myself and learned that what feels uncertain at one point can eventually lead somewhere we couldn't have imagined from where we were standing.
My professional life has evolved too. I began my art practice in 2012 and, more recently, found my way into coaching. Each new direction has asked me to move beyond what was familiar and become curious about what else might be possible.
Those experiences have shaped what I bring to my coaching, not because my experience will be the same as yours, but because I understand what it's like to live through uncertainty, question what comes next, and discover that we can keep changing and growing throughout our lives.
My Coaching
I trained with Noble Manhattan Coaching and hold a Practitioner Coach qualification.
My approach to both Personal Exploration Coaching and Creative Coaching
is client-centred and grounded in careful listening, thoughtful questions and genuine curiosity about the person sitting opposite me.
I believe some of our most useful thinking happens when we have the space to slow down and hear ourselves differently. A conversation can reveal something we hadn't noticed, challenge something we've taken for granted or open a possibility we hadn't previously considered.
I work conversationally and collaboratively. You bring what matters to you, and we begin there.
I listen closely, stay curious and ask questions that invite you to look at what you're exploring from different perspectives.
Sometimes that means staying with a question rather than rushing towards an answer. At other times, something becomes clear, and the conversation naturally turns towards what you would like to do next.
The direction belongs to you.
My role is to stay alongside your thinking, notice what I hear and create the space for greater awareness, choice and possibility.
There is No Final Version of Us
My own life has taught me that who we are isn't fixed.
We continue to encounter new experiences, make different choices, change direction, discover things about ourselves and imagine possibilities we couldn't see before.
That's one of the things I value most about coaching: the opportunity to remain curious about who we are becoming.
There are always more possibilities to explore.
Why Listening Matters
My work as an audiovisual artist and Co-founder of the Bogong Centre for Sound Culture has been deeply shaped by listening—listening to people, place, the environment and what emerges when we slow down and pay attention.
Over the years I've come to realise that deep listening changes the quality of our thinking. When we feel genuinely heard, we begin to hear ourselves differently. We notice things we hadn't seen before. New possibilities emerge.
That experience continues to shape the way I coach today.
The Different Parts of My Practice.
Alongside coaching, I am an audiovisual artist, facilitator and mentor. These different parts of my professional life share a curiosity about people, ideas, listening and exploration.
My experience as an artist also informs my Creative Coaching & Mentoring work with artists and creative practitioners.
