Manny Crooks
Hi and welcome to Wellbeing with Manny!
My name is Manny Crooks and I have been working in the performance industry for 20 years both as a professional performer and freelance vocal coach. I have always been passionate about people’s wellbeing and encouraging those around me to feel happier (whatever that looks like to them).
In the last few years during my own performance work, my freelance vocal coaching and singing tuition within music theatre training degrees, it has felt as if more and more people were struggling with their own wellbeing. There seemed to be a lack of support, specific to our industry. There are some incredible provisions out there, but it got me thinking……is there more that I could do? As I said, I work hard at lifting those around me. I like looking with fresh eyes, reframing and seeing if there is something positive or helpful, I can bring to the table.So I did it, I retrained and qualified as a Wellbeing coach and Mental Health First Aider!
I specifically want to tailor my help to the arts, in particularly the performance industry. It is my world and I understand it. I know how deeply personal it all feels. The lows can make you feel that you are not enough. The anxiety and uncertainty of this wonderful industry can take its toll.
What is a wellbeing coach?
The role of a Wellbeing coach is to support, cheerlead and ultimately ask questions to unlock our happiness or wellbeing. As a wellbeing coach I hope I can help clear the fog when experiencing feelings that are overwhelming or encourage more freedom to release what you hold on to. I want you to feel seen and not alone. As a wellbeing coach I hope to reassure with no judgement, no agenda – just support.

in conversation with...
What we listen to and hear throughout the day can shape how we feel. If we feed and nourish our soul with wholesome conversations from everyday people, filled with positivity and stories that people can relate to, you may feel less alone and even inspired. We are all working through our own stuff and sometimes you need to hear conversations that have failures, successes and everyday struggles.
