ALYSSA MATES is the co-founder of Your Budget Mates alongside her husband Andrew. As a dedicated money coach, she is one of the only finance coaches in Australia combining practical money management with mindset and woo—unashamedly and proudly.
Her approach to financial coaching goes well beyond the numbers. Alyssa helps clients uncover the beliefs, patterns, and stories that quietly shape their financial lives. A seasoned property investor who achieved a debt-free and mortgage-free lifestyle by the age of 38, Alyssa brings nearly a decade of experience to her budget coaching sessions. She works extensively with couples, building confidence, clarity, and real control over their cashflow.
Providing Australia-wide coaching from her base in Normanville, South Australia, she approaches every budget coach meeting with warmth, intuition, and a deep conviction that lasting financial change starts from within.
When she is not in client sessions, Alyssa can be found walking the beach or forest near her home, tuning forks in her toolkit, and bare feet on the grass—living everything she teaches.
"The answers are within you - if only you would take the time to listen."
