Dr Vanessa Moulton

Mind Flex Group

Dr Vanessa Moulton is driven by the belief that our brains were never built for the world we now ask them to perform in. We're running 21st century lives on operating systems designed for a far simpler one. Psychological Fitness, the framework she's built for training the system underneath, sits in the gap between therapy and hacking. The problem isn't more tools, but understanding how our brain actually applies to us.

Her training and talks take the capabilities she's used inside the world's most demanding pressure environments and make them work for the rest of us too. In difficult conversations. At 2am. On a Monday already too full.

She brings 15 years inside military mental health and was Clinical Lead behind HeadFIT, the MoD's first mandatory mental fitness training framework. Through Mindflex Group she works with ITV, EY, Burges Salmon and Fieldfisher, delivering her flagship Psychological Fitness programme and Protect to Perform for those exposed to vicarious trauma.

Direct, warm and honest, she doesn't dismiss the hacks but makes sure the foundation comes first. Audiences leave understanding how their brain has been getting in the way, and what they can do about it. Because you can't just leave your brain to its own devices. Not in this world. Not right now.
