Welcome. At SimplyB we believe fitness for mind and body can be reached by more being and less doing. Years of experience in the corporate world, personal and professional development, along with yoga and mindfulness, have helped SimplyB Founder Mel Burdett to design systems that work for you and your team to create long-lasting and sustainable change in mindset, habits, and action. The result is a sustainable life of work and play with joy and meaning.

“I offer individuals and teams solutions for physical and mental fitness in every stage of life or transition. Working with me gives you the permission to be courageous and to be heard. I promise you will leave energised, motivated, and with a sense of ease that allows you to be more and do less.”

Mel Burdett, SimplyB Founder

MEET MEL

A calm, curious and sensitive coach, Mel guides people and teams toward self-awareness and self-empowerment. She has been described as a rudder in the river – even-keeled and calm – steering with a gentle but firm hand towards new adventures ahead.

Mel is an experienced teacher, mentor, facilitator, and coach; a professional, certified Mindset and Career Coach (ACC ICF), certified Hatha Yoga Teacher, International Laughter Leader (CLYL), Hormone Yoga Therapist (IYTA), and Mindfulness Practitioner. She lives on serene Waiheke Island in New Zealand where she works and practices, supporting students and clients in person and virtually, worldwide.

Mel's own journey of self-discovery started when she found a yoga book in the attic of her parent's house. The story of personal transformation that she read about as a teenager was as intriguing to her as the postures and breathing techniques. Later in life, while working in fast-paced positions in finance and sales, Mel experienced how an unbalanced mind-body connection creates a barrier to living and working with ease and flow. As a mum of four, she navigated through constant changes in circumstances. Her knowledge, experience, and practice of Yoga and Mindfulness always brought her back into balance. Today, Mel's mission is to empower and create space for her clients to feel safe, motivated, energised, and calm. This is the basis for creating a meaningful and joyful life for everyone.
