About Britt Brennan

Building Skills. Unlocking Potential. Strengthening Communities.

I’m Britt Brennan, Empowerment-Focused First Aid Trainer & Employment Coach, and the driving force behind REACHAU – Regional Education and Career Help Australia. I’ve lived in Australia since 1998 after growing up in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. My goal is simple: help people find calm, capable confidence when it matters most.

About Britt Brennan

From Real Life to Life Readiness

My path wasn’t linear; it was built on the foundations of working in kitchens, helping people with their health and fitness goals, mucking stalls in stables, and an everlasting love of learning. That’s why my First Aid training isn’t theory—it’s built from lived experience and designed to create quiet confidence under pressure.

Story Highlights
Leaders in Training: Working as a teen with a non-verbal peer living with extensive disabilities taught me patience, resilience and dignity.
Horses & RDA: Volunteering and working around horses taught me that work can be dirty, cold, wet and painful but the rewards in return are deep and dynamic.
Hospitality → Café Owner: From Boston Pizza as a teen in Vancouver, Assisting my Grandmother in Nullagine Western Australia, to running my own café in Lancelin, WA, my experience in hospitality is the foundation on which all of my work skills and ethics were built.
Fitness Instructor: Aqua Fitness, Body Pump, Boxing for Fitness were my specialties, people came to my classes because they felt seen and heard. No yelling, no talking down. Just support and consideration which led to consistent results.

Transitioning into First Aid was a natural leap: same passion for teaching, greater impact. My focus is skills that stick and the why behind every step, so when it matters, you act instead of freeze.

Career Evolution

From Fitness to First Aid to Future Careers

Teaching fitness classes lit the fire. First Aid sharpened my focus. And today, through REACHAU, that same passion for instruction has grown into Employment Workshops designed to equip people with both the practical and personal skills they need to step confidently into the workforce.

Fitness Foundations

  • Personal Training & Group Fitness
  • Met people on their journey
  • Encouraged confidence to implement life changes
  • Blended physiology knowledge with psychology of change
  • Created an environment people wanted to return to

First Aid & CPR Training

  • Accredited, workplace-ready skills
  • CPR, bleeding, burns & fractures
  • Spotting the difference between Asthma, Allergies and Anaphylaxis
  • What to do if there is no EpiPen available
  • Accessing auto-pilot when you brain checks out

Employment Workshops

  • People-first, supportive approach
  • Self-discovery & confidence building
  • Reframe lived experiences into strengths
  • Practical job search & interview skills
  • Clear pathways into meaningful work
  • Empowerment focused training methods

The workshops are about more than ticking boxes. They’re about unlocking potential, giving people the tools to represent themselves with confidence, and creating sustainable pathways into employment, especially for those in regional communities or facing long-term barriers to work.
