MEET THE TEAM

  • Nathan Healey, a seasoned performance coach, mentor, and certified holistic counselor, brings over two decades of immersive experience in professional tennis. Having shared the court with icons like Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, and Serena Williams, Nathan has honed his craft through enduring coaching roles, including with former world number one Leyton Hewitt and the 2022 Wimbledon doubles champion Max Purcell. His expertise also extends to Davis Cup players, including Sam Groth and Marinko Matosevic.

    Drawing from this rich background, Nathan emphasizes the pivotal role of a clear mind and open heart in unlocking optimal performance, business success, and daily fulfillment. His coaching philosophy centers on identifying and addressing unconscious, stressful thoughts—key barriers to potential—while fostering joy and purpose in every facet of life.

“I love the flow of life, deeply connected to each moment, finding that every challenge sparks the potential to Play Awake.”

— Nathan

  • Marnie has always had a curious nature and an interest in psychology, philosophy, spirituality and health & wellness. These interests and struggles led her down many paths and lots of personal exploration. Along the way she earned a few degrees and qualifications and spent time under the guidance of various gurus and teachers.  Marnie has a Bachelors Degree in Psychology  and is also a Nurse, Yoga and Meditation Teacher and Certified Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie.

    Marnie offers her clients a lot of personally logged hours of internal work in the various aspects of a full and rich life, as well as a decade of experience in facilitating others through inquiry and somatic practices both in retreat and private settings.  Marnie provides a safe, non-judgmental, open and compassionate space where everything stressful can be held, met with understanding, and freed.  Though she has dabbled in lots of modalities, The Work is the greatest tool she’s come across for self-realisation and freedom and it’s the main practice she uses in her sessions with clients.  Though it can be hard to do the deep shadow work, it can also be fun and full of joy and humour.  

“I love guiding others through somatic inquiry to unlock their potential. Reach out if you’re ready to work with me.” — Marnie

Teaming up with Nathan Healey has been so much more than just finding a tennis coach; Nathan is my life coach! The Play Awake philosophy works on every aspect of life and the more we work on ‘turning around’ any negative or stressful beliefs, the better person I become. Additionally, the more peaceful and content my life becomes, the higher level of tennis is produced. Knowing everything I know now, I wouldn’t want it any other way.
