Tahnee Motti

I'm a social researcher and independent consultant based in Maleny, Queensland, working with not-for-profits, government agencies, boutique consultancies and community organisations across Australia.

My background spans nutrition, chronic disease prevention, mental health, social prescribing and lifestyle medicine. It sounds like a winding path, but there's a consistent thread running through all of it: understanding what shapes human behaviour, designing interventions that actually work, and measuring whether they do.

Over the course of my career I've designed, implemented and evaluated programs across complex areas of public health. Today I work at the intersection of research, program design, co-design and evaluation. I bring rigour and evidence to every engagement, but I'm equally invested in making sure the work is practical, accessible and grounded in the real world, not just the literature.

I care deeply about social justice and health equity, about who gets access to what, and how the systems and environments we build either compound disadvantage or help dismantle it. That lens shapes everything I do.

I'm also neurodivergent. I mention it not as a disclaimer but because it's given me a genuine personal stake in the work, particularly in understanding how systems can quietly fail people, and what it looks like when they're designed to genuinely include everyone.

We're a small, independent consultancy and that's entirely intentional.

When a project needs specialist skills we don't hold in-house, we bring in trusted independent consultants and boutique firms we know well. People we've worked alongside, whose approach aligns with ours, and whose quality we can stand behind. You get a capable, tailored team without the overhead or impersonal machinery of a large firm.

Every project gets our genuine attention. We take the time to deeply understand your organisation, your context, the people you're trying to reach, and what success actually looks like for you before we do anything else.

We don't rinse and repeat. We don't apply last year's framework to this year's brief. We ask better questions, sit with complexity, and build something that fits.

That's not something big consultancies can promise. We can.
