Founder of High-Performance Mindfulness, Emma has guided AFL teams to premierships, Olympic athletes to the podium and businesses to success.
Emma Murray is one of Australia’s leading practitioners on mindfulness and high-performance mind coaches. With her background in psychology and as a former athlete, she aims to help athletes push boundaries and overcome mental challenges to heighten their peak performance.
Emma played national-level netball and attended the AIS before becoming an accredited mindfulness and meditation teacher, NLP Master Practitioner and Clinical Hypnotherapist.
She is perhaps best known for the impact she has had on the AFL, particularly with the Richmond Football Club’s premierships in 2017, 2019 and 2020. Colloquially known in the media as “The Secret Weapon”, Emma’s high-performance mindfulness strategies and daily exercises provide effective methods to attain and maintain excellence in performance execution. Her strategies have received commendations from players for her effective focus on advanced present moment awareness, improved emotional regulation and enhanced focus sustainability.
Emma’s practice is grounded in the science and art of mindfulness and high-performance psychology. Emma has herself applied mindfulness in overcoming challenges within her own family when her son’s spinal cord injury left him quadriplegic.
Emma wants her audiences to understand what is required of them to own those ‘high performance moments’ in their lives. She’s adamant that when anyone recognises what is entailed in achieving excellence in every moment, confidence and vigour begins to replace self-doubt and nerves.
“Everyone from students to stay-at-home parents, to top CEOs and sports people can learn to recognise what is required for them to do their best in each and every moment… that is when they start to feel re-energised, connected to their passions, confident and valuable. It is only then that “struggle” is replaced with calmness, optimism, acceptance and worthiness.”
Outside of the Brownlows, Norm Smiths and Olympic Golds attributed to her, Emma is equally fulfilled by the work she has carried out to help many men and women of all job descriptions. She has utilised her expertise to helping parents find balance and students find self-belief.
Emma has proven time and time again that through her methodologies, anyone can attain greatness and achieve their full potential. She’s determined to help as many people as possible take their lives to the next level.
