Author Information

Sally Wilson's life and career have been characterised by risk-taking and challenging the 'norm'. She went from farm girl to a 20-year international career as a high-profile opera singer. In studying the foundations of 'being well' in both mind and body, and the paths to the highest human potential since her teens, Sally spent time in Zen monasteries and ashrams, studied Aikido and philosophy, ran trail ultra-marathons and studied yoga, delved into meditation techniques and swift trauma resolution methods and, in the most practical and personal way, studied the secrets of peak performance. The thrust of Sally's mission is helping people turn their baggage into gold and liberate their potential - for 'success', in the truest sense of the word, and for happiness and fulfilment. Her work spans the peak performance space - an area she has decades of personal experience in - through to resolution of PTSD, and incorporates both cutting-edge science and ancient wisdom. Sally's love for lyrical poetry, music and art has led to writing and illustrating The LaLa Chronicles. She is also the creator of 'Being with Sally, ' a dynamic and insightful podcast that explores the many facets of high-performance, personal growth, and wellbeing with fascinating guests from around the world.
