Fiona McNeill
Fiona is an energetic, authentic communicator who works at the intersection of education, publishing, and integrated health. She has built an extensive and accomplished career in educational publishing, holding senior marketing, commissioning and consulting roles across several globally leading publishing companies. Her path began in the classroom as a school teacher and advisory visiting teacher, an experience that continues to shape her deep belief in education's power to transform individuals and communities. Over the years she has developed particular expertise in project commissioning, content and communication, consistently championing the value of clear, meaningful, and educational material that is expressed well.
Equally central to Fiona's life is movement and wellbeing, a passion she has pursued and shared for more than 30 years. A qualified personal trainer, and Yoga and Pilates Teacher, she brings depth and authenticity to her practice, grounded in yoga philosophy, Pilates methodology, meditation and mindfulness. She believes physical practice and education are not separate pursuits but parts of a single philosophy: a commitment to lifelong learning, holistic health and helping people grow stronger, clearer and closer to themselves.
Underpinning all of this is Fiona's fascination with the definitive intersection of modern science and holistic health, and the collective maximisation of human wellbeing. Whether guiding a class, shaping educational content, or sharing her passion for movement, she brings the same energy, rigour, and genuine care.
