Our Story
Brainwaveacademy began in 2019 with a simple idea: what if personal development could be more accessible, practical, and tailored to real people with real lives? Born from founder Sarah's frustration with one-size-fits-all programs, we've grown from a small workshop in North Rockhampton to an organization that's helped thousands find their path to growth. We believe everyone deserves tools that actually work for their unique journey—not just inspirational quotes and generic advice.
Our Mission & Vision
At Brainwaveacademy, we're not just another self-development platform. We're a bit different—maybe even a little stubborn about how we approach personal growth. We believe genuine transformation happens when you connect your inner wisdom with practical, everyday actions.
Our mission is to create a world where personal development isn't just for the privileged few but accessible to anyone ready to begin their journey. We've seen too many people get stuck in the cycle of consuming content without making real change. That's why we focus on measurable progress and sustainable habits that stick even when motivation fades.
Looking ahead, we envision a community where success isn't defined by someone else's standards but by your own growth and fulfillment. A place where vulnerability is strength, questions are welcomed, and every step forward—no matter how small—is celebrated.

Sarah Matthews
Founder & Lead Coach
Sarah started Brainwaveacademy after spending 12 years feeling stuck in corporate training. She's known for her straight-talking approach and ability to cut through the fluff of self-help. When she's not coaching, you'll find her hiking with her rescue dog or attempting (and occasionally failing at) pottery.
Emma Richardson
Head of Program Development
With a background in psychology and education, Emma designs our core programs with both heart and science in mind. She joined us in 2020 and has transformed how we measure success. Emma brings a mix of academic rigor and real-world practicality to everything we do—plus an endless supply of dad jokes.
