SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT: Odette Blacklock
We’re pleased to welcome Odette Blacklock to the Gold Coast Speakers Directory.
Odette is a Performance, Wellbeing & Resilience Speaker, holistic podiatrist, movement specialist, coach and Masters World Champion beach sprinter with more than 20 years of experience across health, fitness, performance, coaching and event design.
Her philosophy starts with a simple idea:
Movement is our medicine.
Combining clinical expertise with her lived experience as an elite athlete, coach, educator and entertainer, Odette explores the connection between movement, mindset, wellbeing, performance and human connection.
She is also the founder of The Blacklock Method, a holistic approach to movement and performance bringing together biomechanics, mobility, strength, nervous-system regulation, body awareness and practical strategies for performing well over the long term.
But what really sets Odette apart is that she doesn’t simply deliver a presentation — she creates an experience.
Her keynotes and workshops can incorporate storytelling, practical movement, breathwork, music, audience participation and education, giving event organisers the option of something energetic and participatory rather than a traditional sit-and-listen presentation.
Odette can also create tailored interactive sessions combining movement, breathwork, body awareness, mobility, strength, recovery, music and team connection.
Her experience spans Virgin Active, Gwinganna, Elements of Byron and her own Blacklock Events, bringing together professional health expertise, athletic achievement and more than two decades of experience working with people and performance.
Odette is an excellent fit for corporate conferences, workplace wellbeing programs, leadership and team days, women’s events, sporting organisations, retreats, health and wellness conferences and team-building experiences.
As Odette says:
“You’re either winning or you’re learning, and both move you forward.”
