Maureen Manley

Determination and resilience have served Maureen Manley well in her many accomplishments. As a member of the U.S. Cycling Team she won a National Championship, set a national record, earned a silver and two bronze medals at National Championships, competed in three World Championships and won a silver medal at the 1990 World Championships.

Manley's cycling career came to an abrupt halt at the sudden onset of multiple sclerosis. She then turned her determination and focus to a new journey, exploring ways to integrate her mind, body and spirit in order to create optimal health and peace of mind. This led her to gain knowledge and understanding from a variety of fields, including: mind-body sciences, behavior sciences, faith based traditions, psychology, meditation, life coaching, and systems theory. The application of her learnings led her to a deeper understanding that true change and transformation originates from the inside. After completion of a Master’s Degree in Integrated Wellness, Manley established her private practice and return to her much-loved sport of cycling.

Maureen is a well-respected speaker, counselor, educator and consultant. She currently travels the country giving motivational presentations, leading workshops, teaching classes, designing wellness programs and consulting with organizations who wish to empower both their workforce and clients.
