Jess Spendlove is a leading voice on wellbeing and high performance
Becoming a top performer is about talent, drive and ambition.
Staying a high performer is about consistency, habits and non-negotiables.
Jess Spendlove is an international speaker, coach, advisor and performance dietitian with over 15 years of experience helping ambitious individuals and teams not just reach the top, but stay there.
Her journey began as an elite athlete, where she became a state and national swimming champion across breaststroke, butterfly and individual medley. Before moving into the corporate arena, she spent over a decade at the forefront of elite sport, working with seven professional teams, Olympic medallists, world champions, premiership-winning sides and the Special Forces Command.
Today, Jess partners with progressive leaders and organisations to embed wellbeing as their performance edge, focusing on optimising energy, resilience, stress management and burnout prevention. Her clients include PwC, AirTree, YPO, PEXA, QBE, Zurich, Coles and Foxtel Media, and she is an advisor for Monash University Corporate Education.
Her sessions are high-impact and grounded in real-world application. She blends science with practical strategies, delivered with clarity and confidence. At the same time, her style is relatable and engaging, making the complex simple and actionable.
Jess has not just studied wellbeing and high performance, she has lived it. From her early years as an elite athlete, to supporting top performers in business, sport and the military, and now navigating life as a new mum, she understands that wellbeing and performance evolve across different seasons.
Her mission: to help you and your team succeed not at the cost of your health, but because of it.
