Maha Corbett is the co-founder of SWIISH, one of Australia’s most recognised wellness brands, a bestselling author, podcast host, and one of the more honest voices in the conversation about what it actually takes to build something - while also being a mother, a partner, and a human being trying to show up fully for her one life.
Before SWIISH, Maha held senior executive roles in Investment Banking HR at JPMorgan, Bankers Trust and ANZ, working alongside CEOs and MDs at the highest levels of global finance. At 35, she walked away from that career at the top of her game to co-found a wellness brand in a category that barely existed.
What followed was a decade of building - through flat years and breakthrough years, through IVF, through a pandemic, through the particular kind of exhaustion that comes with parenting two young children, one of whom is autistic, while running a company with global ambitions.
SWIISH has continued to scale and is also stocked in Priceline stores nationally and Boots UK and Ireland, with a product range of scientifically formulated supplements trusted by thousands worldwide.
In 2025, Maha and her sister Sally Obermeder launched the SWIISH: Wellness Unlocked podcast, which debuted at #3 on Apple Podcasts Australia.
Maha is co-author of five bestselling health and wellbeing books and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Macquarie University and a Certificate in Nutrition and Diet accredited with the International Institute for Complementary Therapists.
Maha is a passionate speaker and what makes her compelling on stage isn’t her resume. It’s her refusal to pretend any of it was easy – and the hard won clarity that came from going through it anyway.
Maha is available to speak on:
• Building a brand from scratch in a now crowded market
• The realities of scaling from DTC to global retail
• Leaving a high-performing career to back yourself
• Navigating high ambition and present motherhood simultaneously
• Parenting an autistic child and what it teaches you about resilience, presence and leading with empathy
• The wellness practices that actually hold you together when life is genuinely hardMaha doesn’t speak from the other side of hard things. She speaks from inside them - and that’s exactly why audiences don’t forget her.
