ABOUT

✨ The Power of Intention & Choice

Every woman has the power to shape her life. When you choose from love, not fear, you step into true freedom.

✨ You Are Already Enough

Beneath the masks and expectations, you are whole, worthy, and complete. Real transformation begins with remembering that truth.

✨Life Is an Adventure

Every moment — from climbing mountains to navigating motherhood — is an adventure. Adventure builds resilience, courage, and confidence to live authentically.

R.A.W's Mission

RAW means Real. Authentic. Woman.

My mission is to empower women to break free from fear and lead their lives with love. By using health as an anchor, I help women activate their strength and confidence — mind, body, and soul — so they can live fully, love deeply, and inspire the next generation to do the same.

MY JOURNEY

I am a woman who chooses herself — a wife, a mother of three beautiful children, and a business owner with over 17 years of experience in health and fitness.

Before RAW Coaching’s rebrand (and before marriage), you may have known me as Melinda Bingley, founder of MAB PT & Adventures.

I love life, love adventure, and love helping women realise their potential. I believe that if you want something deeply enough, you can create it — all you need is a
powerful why, a plan, and, most importantly, action.

Before motherhood, when I wasn’t building my business, you’d find me on adventures that awakened my soul: trekking Mount Kilimanjaro, Everest Base Camp,
walking 900 kilometres across Spain on the Camino de Santiago, climbing snowy peaks in New Zealand, or honouring the ANZAC spirit on the Kokoda Trail in Papua
New Guinea.

These days, the greatest adventure of all is motherhood. Every day with my three little ones (now 7, 5, and 4) brings challenge, joy, and growth — and it remains the most rewarding journey I’ve ever undertaken.

"I have been working with Mel for nearly a year now.
She has been such a gem. She has helped keep me motivated and accountable and has always been supportive with my goals and what my body needs.
She has been a sounding board for other areas of my life too, offerring little nuggets of wisdom - not just my physical health"

Crystal Morris

"Highly recommend working with Melinda if you're looking for someone who's knowledgeable in her field, can make adjustments for complexities with injuries/capacity but also brings compassion, kindness and honesty!"
