Emma Murray is the founder of High Performance Mindfulness – a practice she has used to guide AFL teams to premierships, motorsport drivers to championships, Australian cricketers to double centuries and Olympic athletes to the podium.

Emma is considered one of Australia’s leading mindfulness practitioners and high performance mind coaches. As a former national-level athlete herself and having studied a Bachelor degree in Communications, majoring in Psych, Emma has always been passionate about the mind and performance. With a clear goal to become a coach who can facilitate real and lasting change in people, Emma, early in her career development, focussed on expanding her knowledge of evidence-based, human behavioural modalities by becoming an accredited Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher, NLP Master Practitioner and Clinical Hypnotherapist. 

With years of real life client experience with both individuals and large groups, Emma has gained a reputation of being able to translate the traditional Buddhist practice of mindfulness into relatable, easily followed and understood, step by step behavioural tools. Considered to be the “secret weapon” behind Richmond Football Club’s recent, history making, 2017, 2019 & 2020 AFL Premierships, Emma’s High Performance Mindfulness methodology, strategies, exercises and daily practices can very quickly help people to deliver best performance execution through advanced present moment awareness, improved emotional regulation and enhanced focus sustainability. 

Emma is passionate about all people understanding what is a performance moment in their life and what is required for them to best show up in that moment. The world, today, is fast paced with high pressure and expectation. Emma is adamant that when every person, from students to stay at home parents, to top CEOs and elite athletes to amateur performers and sports people, 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.
