Quick Contact
Growing up in the outback town of Leonora, Western Australia, Kiara Reddingius never imagined she’d one day stand on the start line of the Winter Olympics, twice.
A former heptathlete and Oceania Champion, Kiara made one of the most remarkable transitions in Australian sporting history when she took up bobsleigh in 2021, seeing snow for the very first time that November. Within months, she was representing Australia at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, after she and pilot Bree Walker recorded Australia’s best-ever two-woman result on the World Cup circuit just two days after meeting. In 2026, she returned to the Olympic stage at Milano Cortina, cementing her place as one of Australia’s most extraordinary sporting stories.
But what drives Kiara isn’t just athletic achievement, it’s the inner transformation required to get there. To go from a regional desert town to two Olympic Games, she had to do more than train her body. She had to completely upgrade what she believed was possible and who she believed she could be.
Today, Kiara brings that lived experience into the corporate world as a certified NLP practitioner and high-performance mindset coach. Her talks sit at the intersection of elite sport and human potential, exploring how identity, belief, and subconscious patterns shape the way we perform, lead, and live.
She works with high-achieving individuals and organisations who are ready to close the gap between where they are and who they know they could be.
With a BSc in Conservation and Wildlife Biology, a Graduate Diploma in Education, and qualifications spanning Agile Project Management, Nuro Linguistic Programming and conversational hypnotherapy, Kiara brings both intellectual depth and raw authenticity to every stage she steps on.
Her message is simple but profound: you are only limited by who you think you are.
