Women’s Health Educator, Speaker and Creator of the Menopause Training Matrix™

I’m Mish Wright — an educator, speaker and writer helping fitness professionals and organisations turn women’s health research into practical coaching systems.

With two decades in fitness, including 13 years in education, I bring experience in teaching, personal training and fitness business management. My qualifications include a Diploma of Teaching, Bachelor of Education, and Certificates III and IV in Fitness.

Practical Education for the Fitness Industry

In 2011, I founded mishfit® Personal Training, an award-winning business that developed early partnerships with women’s health physiotherapists. I also created the Women’s Health and Fitness Summit, bringing physiotherapists and fitness professionals together to improve how the industry supports women.

Since then, thousands of professionals across five countries have taken my women’s health online courses through Fitness Education Online.

I created the Menopause Training Matrix™ to help trainers apply menopause education in everyday sessions. Through workshops, practitioner education and the MTM Organisation Licence, I support gyms, studios and aquatic centres in developing a shared approach to coaching midlife women.

In September 2025, I released GRACE Midlife Movement™ free to the industry, providing a flexible framework for organising movement through midlife.

Today, I’m Head of Graduate Education at Women’s Fitness Education, helping fitness professionals develop the knowledge to better support women.

Speaking and Presenting

Through keynotes, workshops, panel discussions and MC work, I make women’s health topics clear, relevant and practical. My presentations cover menopause, pelvic health, movement across life stages and better women’s health education.

Based in Melbourne, I accept speaking and training bookings across Australia, New Zealand and internationally, in person and online.
