Michele Meyburgh

Founder of Youth Empowered

Michele Meyburgh is the founder of Youth Empowered. Her biography in From Potential To Prosperity describes study at Rhodes University in South Africa, including journalism and psychology, further industrial psychology and advertising study, and training in hypnotherapy.

Michele moved to Australia in 2008. Her account describes work with children through yoga and sensory-development activities, alongside the personal experience of being a parent when bullying affected her family.

Healing Hearts, Empowering Souls focuses on the questions that experience raised: how to notice a problem, understand a child's feelings and respond without leaving the family to manage alone. The chapter introduces the seven-step approach she developed for supporting parents and children.

Michele's contribution is grounded in the connection between family experience and her interest in child wellbeing. She places importance on the parent's ability to provide safety, listen and help a child rebuild confidence. The profile identifies her through that specific educational background and book contribution.
