I'm an award-winning actor, director, and coach. I’m the head goose here at Hopeful Goose Creative.

HI, I'M MADELEINE

I’m an in-demand actor who walks the walk, working consistently across the industry in TV, film, theatre and TVCs. As a psychology graduate and mental health advocate, I love combining industry knowledge and neuroscience when coaching.

I’m a big believer in kicking butt and going gently at the exact same time. Leading with joy and strategy is the key to a sustainable career, not hustling and burning out. Human first, actor second.

"Working with Mads doesn’t feel like work at all!"

She brings so much joy to every session and encourages you to bring your whole self to the work. The clarity, precision and play embedded in the framework completely changed how I approach my auditions, especially with all the mindset work that Mads weaves in. I feel uplifted and empowered that I have the tools to tackle whatever comes next.

– Madison Chippendale

"She merges the creative world with the science"

Mads created an open and welcoming space to explore, make mistakes, and most importantly have fun with the process. She merges the creative world with the science behind how we as humans work and marketing strategies. I would highly highly recommend.

– Lorraine Hong

"She makes you feel supported while pushing you to level up"

Mads is an incredibly perceptive coach who balances mindset and strategy so beautifully. She makes you feel supported while pushing you to level up
