Melanie Wentzel
I’m Melanie Wentzel, a healthcare strategist, coach, and consultant committed to transforming systems so people matter first. With a background in psychological science and more than two decades of experience across public health, private practice and the medicinal cannabis sector, I’ve devoted my career to reforming care and wellbeing for communities in Australia and beyond, to make what is transactional, transformational. My work focuses on designing and implementing person-centred models that make healthcare more human, integrated and effective. I’m passionate about authentic leadership, value creation and bringing a sense of purpose and joy back into high-pressure environments. As a respected international thought leader, and the author of
Cannabis Queens and A Love Letter to Women in Business
, I explore the intersection of health, gender and innovation – highlighting the gendered experience of healthcare and business, how women lead change in emerging industries, and how care systems can become more meaningful, agile, and impactful. Through my consulting and advisory work, I help healthcare organisations navigate reform, regulation and innovation with clarity and compassion. I believe in meeting crises with curiosity, systems with sensitivity and organisations with purpose. As a coach I support individuals, teams, and organisations to achieve their personal and professional goals, build brands, find and amplify their professional and creative voice, and am building a community of likeminded folk who together will redefine high-performance. I invite you to come on the journey with me!
